Oh now you went and did it. Time for a new pair of underwear.

Very nice. Are you getting fogs for the openings? Time to mesh in the center section on your bumper.

Wow.....

No mods at all! The body shop had it installed in 15 mins and
charged me $25. He used original rubber mounts.

You really need the Mugen grill now. That would finish off your otherwise clean JDM appearance.

Congrats! You finally received your rims! Your ride looks sweet with those gun metal rims! ...but then we have the same rims.

So, how do you like them so far? Is it what you expected? BTW, in your sig, the measurement reads 18x8.5. How did you get hooked up with 8.5? When I bough it they only had 18x7.5. Does it rub?? It doesn't look that much wider than mine though.

The mugen exhausts look nice too.

You're right, that was a typo. 18x7.5"
Just like yours. No rubbing

These tires are really grippy but I can still get a nice chirp!

Thanks,

Dude, you don't know how hard it was to install the Mugen front air dam. Trust me it is really flush. I had it custom molded one-piece to appear as two-piece. I had to amputate an arm to pay for it.

Warning to others thinking of doing the Mugen front air dam. It is designed for the JDM bumper - be prepared to shell out some $$$ to have it installed.

sweet ride

Nice mods - looks too good, i had to click away from envy.

Groovy exhaust tips - can you get just that?

What's with that silvery left foot stay/pedal? Where'd you get that? Do you have anymore silver/chrome pedals down there - how bout more pics of that if you do.

Nice pics.

doggdoc: It's a Razo brushed aluminum footrest. The rubber gets really dirty in the winter so I put it on so it would be easier to clean plus it looks kinda cool.

No you can't just get the exhaust tips their welded on. You'll have get the Mugen Sports exhaust - don't worry it will fit your 02.


99WDP: I'll try to get a hold of the digi cam again to take more pics from different angles. The gun metal finish is immaculate. SLVR TL can attest to that too! The rims would look really race-touring on a white TL! I would have gotten a WDP but it wasn't available in 1999 in Canada.

Yup, yup... the finish is nice. Most ppl think it's gun metal "chrome"! because it's very shiny.

99WDP:
Inspire32V and I have the same rims. Go to my website. I have a couple of side view pix of my rims in there.
