*EDIT*

List of all current mods (that I can think of at least)

Interior
Status Racing Seats link
Kenwood DDX8901HD head unit
GTR map light lenses link
Alpine R SPR-60C component speakers
Custom start button link
Moddiction shift knob link
Alpine R 12" Subwoofer link
Zenclosure sub box link
Kicker 400.1zx amp
LED map lighting link
LED footwell lighting link
GTmat in the hatch/doors link
9500ix radar detector/custom blendmount link

Exterior
B2auto CF hood struts link
Mines front lip
Evo-R CF fang cover
Varis rear diffuser
Forgerstar F14's 9.5+20/11+15 link
Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires
Evo-R smoked led rear foglight link
Smoked JDM tail lights
Shaved rear emblems
Headlight mod (dual projector, dual halo, flat black housing, PW shrouds, blue and red LEDs on switches) link
Philips 85122 WX Ultinon 6K headlight bulbs
LED DRL's
15% Llumar tint
Custom Powdercoated PW strut bar link
Custom Powdercoated PW tow hook link
Custom front bumper plastic slat delete link
Zspeed Aluminum shroud
LED reverse lights link
LED license plate lights link
Backup camera
Carbon fiber license plate frame
PW color matched side marker turn signals

Power/Handling
NST underdrive pulley kit, crank and alternator
Stillen Gen3 CAI
Fast Intentions LTH/CBE non res'd combo link
Uprev Tune (335hp/265tq)
Z1 34row Setrab oil cooler
Z1 Akebono BBK upgrade (drilled/slotted rotors, Akebono calipers, Posiquiet pads, SS brake lines, ATE 200 fluid) link
SS clutch line
M7 coilovers link
Whiteline sway bars link
SPL front and rear endlinks link
SPC front and rear camber arms and toe bolts

So it's gonna take me forever to actually save up for this stuff, but I figured I'll go ahead and start a build thread. So far the only mods are new head unit, blacking out my emblems and turn signals, and a set of Stillen Gen3 CAIs. I think before anything else I will save up for some sexy wheels, then I'll start working on bolt ons. I'm thinking FI LTH and CBE, and a set of pulleys should complete the package. Not trying to go crazy, just want some decent power gains

Anyway, if you have any suggestions let me know!

Plastidipped front emblem

and the back ones

turn signals

got the parts in

jacked her up and got the bumper off

got the stock intakes out, and fitting the new ones

placing the filters. Sorry about the quality of the pics, I was getting hungry and shaky, and all were taken on my iPhone.

everything put back together

bumper back on.

It was actually really easy to do this install because whoever had it before me had done the same exact mod, the plastic holes had already been cut and everything. This whole install from the bumper coming off to being put back on took about half an hour or so, and I was taking my time.

great start man

love the side turn signals...

Kingbaby · 02-29-2012, 09:00 AM

Little mad your using that pic for your avatar...it's the avatar for my facebook club page as well...

Enjoy the car!

TheGreatOne · 02-29-2012, 10:09 AM

Nice start

Looking back, I might have went with some wheels too before some of the mods I did as it makes such a big difference in the look.

Oh wells...atleast my stock wheels are darker so it helps lol.

Keep us updated!

Huck · 02-29-2012, 01:08 PM

Thanks guys! Actually I can't decide on what wheels I want to get. Of course the Volk te37s are sexy, but I'm really liking a lot of AM Forged's wheels too. And I'm really sad that 5Zigen discontinued their 5ZR rims, those things were so beautiful. If I could find a set of those in the sizes I wanted it wouldn't be a contest. And this set by Avante Garde is pretty hot too...

What do you guys think?

Nah I do all the work to my vehicles myself, unless it's taking the transmission or the block apart or something, I don't have all the specialty tools for that. But headers shouldn't be too bad, from what tony said its just the consuming, he said 6-7 hours. But then again my Stillen Gen 3's were supposed to take1.5 hours and it was more like 45 minutes taking my time. We'll see how it goes

Well, here's the next simple upgrade: LED lighting! Just got them in today. I got the ten pack of 194 replacements for the interior and a pair of projector LEDs for the front DRLs. I'll post up pics of how they look once it gets dark out, for now here's these...

all lined up

the DRL projectors

interior ones

More to come soon!

shadoquad · 04-05-2012, 09:16 PM

You know what would really go well on this car? Some AAM short tail exhausts.

I like what you've done so far, bruv.

Huck · 04-05-2012, 10:47 PM

Holy crap Shad, you're a genius! Why didn't I think of that before?? Say, do you know any middle eastern-type kids of questionable repute that have any for sale? I have my Paypal ready and waiting.

Huck · 04-05-2012, 11:01 PM

Well, as promised here's the rest of them. Honestly, they aren't as bright as I would like, but with a pack of ten of them for $14 shipped I wasn't really expecting anything more. The two DRL projector LED's from jdmtoys are pretty sweet though, a huge huge difference.

As always, sorry for the crappy pic quality, all I have is my iPhone and it doesn't handle the dark that well. I should have touched these up first, now that I think about it... Oh well.

Daytime LED...

Daytime originals

Nighttime shots of the new ones...

This is just the LEDs

Interior

and the plate lights

and just for the hell of it, here's the bike I just sold. I was sad to let her go...
