Long Time No See
 
5 Attachment(s)
Soooo its been 2 years since I have logged on to this website how's everybody? I see gearbox and others are still here :). College takes up so much of one's time it sucks :violin:

so I guess this can be my "progression" page because I plan on doing some work on my car over the Summer.

What it used to look like lol
Attachment 83208

Attachment 83209

What it looked like after a little bit of work (ebay yellow fogs, ebay grille, ebay mugen lip, aero side skirts)

Attachment 83210

got into an accident, lost my mugen lip, f*cked up my grill and bumper....did a little painting to make it look a little better

Attachment 83211

installed a POS aftermarket radio just so i can listen to my ipod while driving, I must of f*cked something up cuz the radio wont pick up the antenna....idk what happened but the radio itself doesnt work, I only have cd's and aux now.

Attachment 83212

I just ordered a set of black housing "OEM fit/look" headlights from amazon, i hope they are not POS and actually function...im tired of sanding and polishing my current headlights to remove the fog/yellow from them. I also plan on ordering a new mugen lip, urathane this time and Im going to paint it....ummmmm I want to do suspension but Im not confident in myself to do that on my own, if anybody is in the Long Island area let me know!! lol ohhh and bronze wheels....eventually i want to do a auto to 5speed conversion but thats not going to be for a long time.

sooo thats it for now :moon:

yeah I was thinking about doing that if the seller replies stating that they do not carry black housing headlights. I been trying to find the DIY, can't find it though.

thank you :wavey:

do you know where I can buy the hardware to install the lip by any chance? I contacted the company who sold it to me but I just want to have an alternative if they happen to not have the hardware for the lip.

I bought mine second hand, so I also had no hardware.

I ended up using screws from the hardware store.

The mugen is PU and was about $70 from ebay I believe...

The rear lip is OEM (I'm assuming PU) and was $160 shipped!! Almost bought it for $400 a few years ago I'm glad I waited

I actually have it bookmarked already lolol
Great DIY :clap: +1

The only problem is I don't have anywhere to hang it or anything to hang it with, don't know how I'm going to make everything even in regards to the coats of paint.
