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 :driving: Anyway, if you have any suggestions let me know!

jacked her up and got the bumper off

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 :tup: love the side turn signals...

Kingbaby 02-29-2012 08:00 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 09:09 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 12:08 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

More to come soon!:tup::excited:

shadoquad 04-05-2012 08:16 PM

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


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

Huck 04-05-2012 09:47 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 10:01 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.
