Finally got some decent pics to put up after a good wash and wax. Now I'm just saving up some $ for a set of rims

Mods listed in sig

I know someones gonna say they dont like the blue in the corners and roadlamps... Its not really that blue, they're white LEDs... just turning up that way in some of the pics. Details of light setup after the pics....









10 mins of brasso to polish off 7 years of crap from the exhaust tips






Closest pic I've got to what the setup looks like at night








With the turn signal flashing



So here's the light setup to answer any questions ahead of time:

HID lights - OEM
Side Marker Light (small wedge bulb where the reflector used to be) - White LED
Corner light / Turn signal - Chrome bulb but blocked off one prong w/ electrical tape so it only comes on for signal and not with the lights
Roadlamps - 5-Led Wedge bulb (4 pointed around, 1 forward)

And LEDs everywhere else (9-LED in dome light, 6-LED in map lights, courtesy lights, glove box, trunk, and license plate)


Comments Praise and Criticism appreciated!

dammmmmmn hell yeah man, I just ordered super white led for all the front bulbs so hoping it looks as good as urs

car looks really good. for once someone is throwing on some tire polish for thier pics! i would take off that mesh grille. it looks too ricey and homemade. the only pic it looks good in is the 3/4 shot where the sun is catching it perfectly, other than that you either see right through it (cant tell its there) or it looks like a cheap overcover. other than that i love your car

that front is CLEAN. nice job. don't particularly like the blue lights tho

disgruntlednut

Home Depot Mesh... Its weird cuz its angled so its only REALLY noticeable when you look at it from the driver's side to maybe 30-40 degrees to the front because angle from the driver's side is a little shinier than the dull back side that shows from the passenger side. I'm lookin for some better material to do the grill and lower air dam, or spray this one black...


But the lights aren't blue...

wow...looking good.

disgruntlednut

They're the same ones you've got on your car but w/ White LEDs inside

damn your car makes me want to seriously consider just keeping the stock wheels and dropping it. looks very clean. I'm lovin it man. How much is the drop? And can you do without the tokicos but still get the same look?

Texas in the house!

Looks great. I like the grill. How did you do that?

sik01cls

Your ride is mad clean , but for some reason I'm not diggin' the grille.

The shocks are easily adjustable, I love 'em... From super stiff to Buick bounce with the turn of a screw driver... The comptech springs give a decent drop. I'd really like it to be lower but the roads around here aren't the best... Technically you can lower the car with just springs because thats what determines the drop but the stock shocks can't handle it for too long. I think the tokico Illumina shocks are the best value for the money, but if you want adjustable ride height you're gonna have to go with something else

Try mcmaster.com for mesh material. I got mine from home depot and am probably gonna redo it soon Instructions HERE for mesh grill. Make sure you pick better material than what I went with...

Do you know what the mesh size of yours is and how much do I need to order?

They seem to allow ordering a specific amount.

Thanks!

disgruntlednut

I don't know the exact size, but the mesh comes in a sheet and you're gonna have to cut it to fit yourself.

Your car is so clean ...makes mine look like crap, ahah, now the mod bug is itching my back, drop looks so sick, and the grill is very well done, props!

looks clean. i as well did the complete LED conversion and my liscence plate LED bulb burned out in 2 months. So much for LED lasting 10 times longer than bulbs..

MarbleGT

Looks fantastic!

It'd look better with some sill plates though...

MarbleGT

I just bought some 1/2 watt LEDs for my plate and it looks GREAT!

disgruntlednut

I KNOW THEY WOULD, RIGHT?!! lol :P

just got 03 tails and did my front air dam. Gonna get some black vinyl to get rid of the chrome trim and 8000K HIDs in the next week. We'll get some pics at the meet on the 21st.

MarbleGT

You want me to get you some black vinyl from work?

I used it on mine, looked great! I blacked out the trim and the doorhandle, but I had a black car.

disgruntlednut

Update: blacked out the chrome trim, door sills, 8000K HIDs, mesh front air dam.

Pics to come soon
