Nice works !

Damn Clint! You've been through a lot in the past few weeks. Shoot, where do I start? I absolutely love the front-end conversion and the fabrication you've done on your exhaust is amazing! Lol, is there anything you can't do? Also, your new garage looks three times bigger than the one you had over here. I bet that helps a lot. I'm sorry about not replying earlier to your PM, Nikki and I went on holiday.

No worries Scott, hope you guys had a good time! Yeah it's nice to have a garage where I can spread out a little to get some work done.

No updates today, breaking in the new plasma display!

Omg. Been following your thread for a while.

Did you inherit your dad's life earnings or something? You have a family, a house, quite a few cars, modding this one, AND a new plasma display.

If you didn't inherit it, you must be dealing crack on the side.

On another note, everything looks amazing. Picking up some good tips along the way.

LOL. I have 3 cars, only one car payment. The house we just bought and the plasma display was a Christmas present. I wish I was dealing crack on the side. The Army pays me enough for my hobbies, but barely.

He's a man whore on the side. He thought it was more respectable than selling crack. The women love his bald head and fast car!

These two careers are synonymous.

Looks like this baby is getting ready for some seriousness of purpose

[speedfoos]

The only purpose this car serves is pasting a big fucking smile on my face everytime I mash the gas pedal! Helps me not think about the bank statements.....

I hate wiring.

Got the HID ballasts mounted and almost all the way wired up. Honder's relay makes things a lot easier! I mounted the ballasts right here under the headlights.




Nice and subtle.



I don't have a pic of it (yet) but I mounted the relays right under the passenger side airbag sensor and run the wires along the frame rail and through the crash bar to get to the other side. Power for the relay was from the two hot posts in the fuse box here.



Then I installed my bumper filler bits and started tweaking the alignment of the lights vs. fenders vs. hood.

Passenger side is good.




Driver's side is going to take a little bit of work yet.




But it looks good with everything on and my sidemarkers wired up and installed!

[sniperscout]

you gonna be painting her a new color?

[speedfoos]

Yep.

Eastwood's Blue Pearl.

[cleanmagcivic]

[speedfoos]

I got that grill from Ebay and it's for 04-05 Civics.

[skipbarber]

good work clint, looks good. happy turkey day bitches!

[Albertross]

Très sexy.

How did you tweak the alignment on the headlights? My driver side one was not done properly by the autobody shop and I haven't really thought about it until I read through your post. Is it similar to the GM cars where you align the headlights via a specific bolt at the back of the headlight? Or do you actually have to take out the front bumper and really play around with it?
