Thumbs up Time4akshun's '06 Shinka (New two tone rims and Tsunami nose!)

Hey All,

So I'm back on the scene after having major wheel damage and minor nose damage (to my old Shine Autobahn nose). Wasn't feeling overly great about the car and the hobby until I finally came across some cash for upgrades.

New to the Shinka:

- Tsunami Nose (Authentic Tsunami Styles Poly Nose)
- Racing Hart 721s back on (staggered and two tone paint. Had them painted when I had them straightened and restored)















Hope you like them. Next up:

- Rear debadge
- Rear Mazdaspeed diffuser

Hope everyone is great!!

Time

That is the one of the best aftermarket front end's I've seen posted. Most look too big or draw too much attention from the rest of the car. That one looks great!

The car looks great! I definitely agree the Tsunami bumper is one of the very best looking for the car, it just has issues sagging at the corners and needs to occasionally be re-adjusted.

Looks good but one major improvement would be to paint the mesh grille black. It will look MUCH better.

Top,

My Autobahn had black mesh which was great. I guess the showoff in me likes the bit of bling this time around... Your car looks great too...

I actually like the look of the silver mesh depending on color. Matches very well in this case. I kept the mesh silver for mine too to match with the polished RPF1s.

Love the wheels and the front. Mesh would look better in black though. What spoiler is that?

Do you have any more pictures of the rear? I couldn't find that wing on RB's site. I don't think they sell that item any more, just the nose they've always had.
