exterior is nearly complete, maybe.
Sup, Ive been getting a few PMs from people to follow up with pics from the retrofit I posted a while back.
https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-1999-2003-98/ups-came-snap-whats-come-725133/
So here they are nearly complete.
Drivers side was left chrome housing and the passenger side I painted black. I think I like black better so the drivers side I gotta take apart and paint them black. I still have to adjust the height/angle on both headlights but imo worth all the work. Once I readjust them then I will update with some output pics.
These headlights I got were really foggy, Ive polished them a bit but I need to do it a few more times to clear them up.
I'm pretty happy with my car so far, I get compliments all the time, which makes all the modding well worth it. I still cant decide if I want a jdm spoiler or a mugen replica, besides that I think I'm done with the exterior. Anyways, just an update.

thanks all for your feedbacks, I love feedbacks. I always wanted the mugen wing but I saw a shoot with a couple of 2g's with the JDM spoiler and it looks sick. I'm also looking into maybe painting my rear A to match the car. NOT sure about that but if it doesnt look good, not an expensive fix at all.

yeah I had to drive 3 hours to seattle to pick them up, but needless to say, I was all over it when I saw it, well I was also visiting the gf. Ive watched these rims for the longest time. lol I would love my ssm to be black, but it was a good deal and they gave me more for my car then what I would've sold it for. I actually wouldnt mind some volks te37s or a nice 3 piece for spring/summer.

nah man, oem kit. The front I found in seattle, 3 hours away, then the sides and rear I found locally off a wrecked 99. I would never go fiberlass on a lowered car. Coilovers are fine, they arent much different then my eibachs, especially since ground controls are made by eibach.

the more i look at it, the more i think this is one of the cleanest looking retrofits done.. it blends in and flows pretty well unlike some others. what parts did you use?
