And future plans would be Suspension, Wheels and A big brake kit or probably some slotted rotors and ceramic break pads! And who knows what else Im gonna do to this thing !

hahaha allow me to help you with spending your moolah haha

i think you meant the 3000K fogs....DDM Tuning or HIDEXTRA - $45
Shock Sensor - ebay - $20
You do have a BBK on that type S....get the brake kit from Brakemotive....drilled slotted rotors + pads all 4 corner for $210 something

For suspension....I recently got the XLR8 ISC N1 which replaced my Tein Basics....and I have to admit....I am 110% happy with these....and they were well priced as well....I think he is running another GB for $850 shipped and they include tops hats ....drop, dampening and preload adjust-ability....

Wheels....i will leave this upto you but i will leave something here

Damn my mistake ... Well I'll let you know that I already have the 3000K fogs from HIDEXTRA, also have the shock sensor from ebay and I got the USR markers too.. Im just kinda lazy and haven't been able to do it... shame on me for that.

I know ... I know. As soon as I get some more funds, that would be the first thing I'm going to do.

Yes we are not that far. Are you close to Quanaman's ??? is so you are close to me.

And to paint a full bumper it rounds about 200 to 300 dollars. Depending on the condition of the bumper and what kind of paint supplies you want to use.

Everyone else summed it up my man, Huge props!! Bringing a Type-S back from the dead is a noble cause, the alternate possibilities of this car's fate would be unthinkable.
