Thanks Ryu, thanks Waiz.

These two weeks with the Pathfinder were hella annoying. With it being 15 years old, any power it had has seriously tanked, making it very hard getting up to speed on the highway. And then, the speedometer isn't working!! So I kept worrying what speed I was even going. Not a big issue in traffic, but a serious ticket magnet with no other cars around. There are other little issues, but these two took the cake.

P.S. I realize now that doing the axle replacement would've required a transmission fluid change anyway. As most of it would come pouring out the moment you pull the axle out.

nice pick up! that's gonna look awesome on your car!!

I don't want to go through the whole JDM rear conversion to get that bumper..

I wonder how the USDM mugen rear would flow with the modulo front lips

or mugen rear and modulo center garnish with STI lip underneath on the front.. anyone seen pics of that setup?

I just installed the modulo center garnish, and now that I see it on, I think I will buy the other modulo lips.

All in all, its on the tame side compared to the mugen kit so I am not sure if it will pare well with the mugen rear...but then again there aren't too many options.

As for the center garnish with sti lip sounds intersting...but I don't want to drill more holes into the center garnish for the sti lip to attach too.

lol welcome to the dark side. mugen + modulo works. but if ur considering the sti lip, then id drop the modulo lips. the modulo lips droops too low and it will leave a big gap where your center garnish is

Any pics of the modulo center on your car? Want to see it on a stock white 2012+ front end but a farther shot..

What are your plans for the rear if you get the modulo lips? Was thinking just paint the rear diffuser and call it a day if I got the modulo all in the front

Dropped mine off at the body shop due to being the victim of a hit and run.

Kaz from J's messaged me yesterday and asked, "Chris do you want more power?" Does that even need to be asked? And now my bottom end is going to be bored .25mm over as well, another slight increase in power should be the result. Going to add a bit more time, but I've been waiting for over 2.5 months already, maybe another 3 weeks. Getting antsy thinking about how much better it is going to feel like on circuit.
