Slup's Ride

OK, so when I got my car a few weeks back, like most used cars it had a few scratches here and there. Most I can live with for now, but the stone chips on the hood had to go.

So some before shots:







AND the now plus some before and after of a sticker mod:









What's next? The LED thread has me making a list. My wallet aches.

Mmmm I'm not a big fan of the a-spec for the type s. I'm either going to leave it stock, or get the non-type s a-spec on there.

For now, some interior LEDs and maybe some new day times lights.

Thanks AA!

I can do the base a-spec lip on a type-s? I thought I read some modding would have to be done. How are the sideskirts any diff between the models?

Let there be light! Time for some LEDs!

Before:












In transition...


After












Some of these look brighter than they are due to the camera. It has a No Flash setting where it keeps the shutter open as long as it needs to until it has enough light. I used these for the domes and license plate, these for the vanity and trunk, and these for the doors.

I think this makes car look a TON better with very little effort. A definite first mod for anyone.

Nice work on the LEDs, I love mine

Aspec would look good, but I prefer the base Aspec front over the type-S front. A couple people have done it and it looks fantastic. I don't think anyone has done it with your color yet, though I could be wrong. It does require some work, not sure what exactly since I have never done it, but I think the end result would be worth it as your car would be fairly unique at that point. Plus it looks amazing!

Thanks everyone. As I said, real simple with a big pay-off.

07tlsWDP, I know now that you can slip a small screwdriver in between the metal rim and the headliner to release the clip for the casing on the vanity lights. I, however, took the casing out metal rim and all by mistake. Luckily everything went back in just fine.
