WDP hotness!

i'm actually buying the complete kit from a member on here as soon as he gets back to me. as for the rims, all i need is tires.

If anyone is interested in a set of Brand new Advan Siena gen 2's just like mine but gold, my sister is selling her set that she was going to put onto her tsx.

18x10 +35 all around

Kirkwood007

What does she want for them? I have the exact same stocker as you right now and looking for wheels. Kinda love my type s wheels though so it's hard to find a wheel that I like more.

We are practically twins. Suppose I now know what my car looks like with Visors. That was close to being my next mod...

Ruthlessem1

iTrader: (1)

She sold the wheels with spacers for 1700 bnib

I got my ww rear lip and oem sides now. All I need is oem front lip and tires!!
I wish I could go lower with these tein ss, the car doesn't look as low in pictures but in person doesn't look that bad

Ruthlessem1

iTrader: (1)

get a shot of your interior on here.
Also im digging the flushness of those tips with that rear lip.

crownovercoke

Lookin' good there... Very nice progress...keep the pics rolling.

Ruthlessem1

iTrader: (1)

I will update with professional pictures as soon as the car is done. Interior is completely stock besides LED in dome, both maps, both doors and trunk. And got a double din DVD/navi player.

Also recently ordered the junction produce kintuna and Fusa. Takes 3 weeks to come in from Japan

02type-s

Can't stand it when ppl put lip kits/body kits on peice by peice and not at once...car will look good put together tho.

Ruthlessem1

iTrader: (1)

It's a budget build. Believe it or not, I've spent less than 2k on all parts including the brand new advan wheels sourcing a front Lip is a pain!

02type-s

Don't get me wrong, I'm not hatin. I just would have waited to install the kit until you had it complete.

03tLsNBP

iTrader: (9)

When I put just my sides on, it gave me more motivation to speed up the process of getting my rear and front on. It would have otherwise taken me years to finally buy the whole kit and then put it on all together, because the sides would just be sitting in the garage and I would have forgotten about them.

So piecing the kit together isn't all that bad

good luck getting ahold of the Inspire grill. Mine took almost 7 months. Stupid tsunami...

Ruthlessem1

iTrader: (1)

I've contacted a&j racing and they said I would be able to receive it in march. But didn't make the order yet.

Update: my junction produce pretzel and Fusa came in last night. Only took a week to get here from Japan

By ruthlessem1 at 2012-02-10

Jason out at A&J is awesome. Ordered almost all of my JDM Inspire stuff through him. Great prices.

Ruthlessem1

iTrader: (1)

Thanks I will be contacting him again soon.

I am willing to sell or trade my wheels if anyone's interested. I want some work vs-xx or something more on the VIP side. Throw me some offers

iTrader: (7)

dont trust what they say from A&J!!!
lol
they told me 6-8 weeks, I kept emailing them and they said a bit more time because of this and that.... 6 months total.
the wait is a bitch, great customer service, tho it would have been nice if they gave me a heads up about how long it would've taken....

HairyMonkey019

iTrader: (7)

you need to be tucking more... just like that is300 back there

Ruthlessem1

iTrader: (1)

Yeah I want it to tuck a tad bit more. My gf is already scraping at the big speed bumps at her school so I can't go all crazy low as I want. That is300 is my little brothers car

Nice... I seen some Inspire stuff on Ebay. But that stuff is SO EXPENSIVE and its never the right color to match the car...

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

the paint excuse is weak!

i had to paint my entire lip kit... so worth it.

HairyMonkey019

iTrader: (7)

you should get the wooden inspire steering wheels off ebay, those are pretty boss

Ruthlessem1

iTrader: (1)

What does that look like?

i want new rims...any suggestions?

HairyMonkey019

iTrader: (7)

sorta like this
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=....c0.m270.l1313
IIRC think there's a DIY on how to make your own....

as for rims, I rlly like Vossens :p
others that go well would be like SSR's, work meisters, CCW's, just look around the forums and see what you like

Ruthlessem1

iTrader: (1)

Finally got the lip on. Will send it to paint maybe next week.

once that lip is painted it will look great!

TheMegalodon

Agreed, great progress so far man. Glad you could put this all together on a reasonable budget as well. I still love seeing one of our old beauts go from boring to sexy. It's such a remarkable difference.
