Heres the car at purchase:




Thought I was a baller, wanted lambo doors 20" rims a body kit everything...

That didn't last long however, local car club and now the car club I'm in slapped some sense into me and taught me the value of stance and a clean rice free ride. I'm working on it still but heres what I have so far and much of it is going to change.

First mods: Injen intake, trd exhaust and a trd short shifter

Second mod: LED Conversion (left out resistors to get a darker blue)



I still had a true love for american JDM for some reason and ended up buying an aftermarket hood, spent the money however and bought the kaminari carbon fiber hood. Probably going to paint to color match someday or leave it, it blends nicely on CF



Now I had to clean up the car... I have some CF on the outside, lets put some on the inside right? This is going to change next year sometime... But it gave me the idea for a two tone waterfall blue and black inner BTW the deck is cleaned up now, no longer looks like it is just thrown in there. Pulled forward built a mount for it so it sits nice and flush



Now for lighting, went with Vinaiti's tail lights and VRD fog lights... PS don't buy from vinaiti their products are cheap, probably going to put TYCs back on and paint the chrome black when i do the headlights over.

What's a car without rims either? Enkei 18s on Kumho 225/40s they are alright but next year will bring 3 piece cstom painted.



At this point my buddies finally convinced me to lower the car, I was a bit skeptical about getting into stance and bothering with bottoming out pot holes and all that fun stuff, so i looked into the stiffest and best coils i could find tein ssps w/ upper ball mount and edfc (there for sale btw, going with bags)



Good bye wheel gap, infact I was cambered out and after an alignment I still tuck the tire a good ways.





Keep in mind this is only 3 months into the build. Theres a lot more to come and i'll keep you updated, ohh I'm in the middle of a rear seat delete

Here's a teaser of a pic of what the box looks like





Holding off on any interior wrapping until I get the rear seats fully out and a new floor made, however thinking a blue suede or velvet. Maybe Gucci or some other fun stuff and new seats are ordered with harness and harness bar, granted sale goes through right should be in the car in just a few weeks!






This winter brings air ride custom cutting and building to lay frame, new exhaust, dressing up the engine bay with stainless steel brushing, wrapping the interior and a few other goodies!

Hope you enjoyed and leave posts to let me know what you think needs improvement/removal, always have an open ear and yes I know it's nothing amazing, however it's what I've done in 3 months. This winter will bring many changes and next year even more still.

 

looks good man. you are on a good path with it. def a good thing that the club talked you out of the chrome 20"s and the lambo doors ;). and i wish i could have picked up um a FM tc i always liked that color and how well the cf goes with it. but looks good.

 

Thanks man, FM is actually getting some spice late next year, big blue metal flake with some fine purples whites and others mixed in to give it a more mica like look.

 

...

A "different" path...

 

looks great. definatly putting the tyc's back on tho

 

Thanks man!

I need a wiring harness for the TYCs. I also wanna toss them in the oven and powder coat the inside so they are completely blacked out inside with a glass cover still. Same with redoing the headlights in a powder rather than matte black. Thats all to come after i get laid out on bags.

 

Opinions requested: Paint matched tail light swap for 08 tails and 06 headlights and removing the fog lights

 

Looks nice, you've made plenty of progress in 3 months. I'm not a fan of the 08 tails, but if that's what you like go for it.

And if you decide to remove the fogs, I'll take them ;)

 

To be honest, I'm probably gonna black chrome the foglights, headlights and tail lights so i still get some light and then with a decent hid kit.

I like the 08 tails more then the earlier years because they have plenty of room to color match with the car. As opposed to the Tycs or Vinaitis that do not.

 

That rear-seat is pretty cool.

 

heyy sweet car, whered you get the CF interior

 

Heh thanks rear seat still needs a lot of work sanding it down rounding it out and carpeting. AzN i'll see if i can find where the Carbon fiber applic came from should have the link up around lunch time. Believe it was like 100 bucks

 

i hope you get better seats/harnesses, those things look cheesy as all hell, and they dont look very safe either....

 

ill take the fogs if you sell lol my driver apt fog isnt working , and yea def thinking of getting the same cf interior instead of my all painted blue i have now :/

 

I don't think I'll sell them, have pictures of the interior? I like the CF but am thinking about 2 tone air brushing from an artist.

there ya go AzN

 

I think I have passed by you once or twice.
where in NH are you located?

 

Live in Londonderry work at the BBY in Manchester Mall on weekends and Work in Portsmouth week days. I'm all over the place, next time flag me down. I'm the one waving and honking at every scion and getting creapy stairs in return...

 

Looks like your making progress. I would have to agree that the harnesses, look a bit out of place. Other then that, everything looks pretty good.

 

Yea I'm kinda not feeling the racing seats anymore now that I'm going for a clean look.. Probably going to yank the rears out, build a flush floor with my speaker/sub box and have that run right behind the driver/passenger seat then wrap those in leather, maybe even just buy clazzios depending on quality of them.
