I'm not sayin' not to take it off..... I'm just thinking that maybe you should wait until you put the wheels that you want on it.... I could be way off, but looking at the other cars you've modded............ it kinda looks like you like "Shiny things" lmfao!!! If you end up with a rim with chrome or maybe a polished lip, you may wish that you still had the strip to go with it???
Just my $.02. And I can take Paypal if you'd like to give me a "Penny for my thoughts".
I guess you can keep the change???

Very nice dude! Is it me or the pic? It appears the bumper is one shade lighter than the rest of the car? (Less cream, more whitish)

The bumper matches the rest of the car really good but my hood is more white then the rest of the car. You can see how the bumper color flows really good into the fender and the hood looks lighter. I had it painted after we bought the car because it had a bunch of rock chips and probably get it repainted soon. Reason was because my friend's toner was off at the time that he painted the hood.

Yup, lower door trim removal, then H&R Sport Springs, a set of larger offset wheels... then a chip w/induction.... I could make some recommendations here, but I'm more familiar with Nissan/Nismo products.

Sweet! That will be a much desired classic if not so already. We have a few clients and staff with that exact year G, set up almost exactly the same, but they pumped huge money into their engines as well. I know what you mean, that set-up is not meant as a daily-driver.
