Nice car. Engine bay could use some cleaning. Enjoy! Let the modding begin. (continue)
Was this a personal sale or did you get it from a dealer? Either way, why the hell would the seller sell the car with the spoiler?? Would have made some nice cash selling the spoiler by itself.

I really like the way gt83-Aspec did his headlites: sorry for using your pics but your car is fresh as hell



also the previous owner gave me all the oem parts... intake springs sway bars.. all in boxes from the hard ware that was put on the vehical soo you kno its legit and recites that the dealer mounted everything..

there's a-spec models for 2g also but only available for us canadians.. the differences are mostly cosmetic besides the a-spec suspension and wheels. you can make your headlights look like that for a few bucks, there must be a DIY but i'm too tired to search it up.

so if i am correct i add positive+ to the white and red wire by tapping in to it and using a diode. and just add a circuit from the fuse box.

on the list shrink wrap diode tap tape wire.

its worth doing, it'll save you alot of money for the same look.. you can spend that money on other mods. i just needed to buy primer, paint, sealant and some masking tape. it was my first time doing this and i didnt have the balls to at first but it was well worth it.
