LOL the car is on bags

and as long as his toe is at 0, it doesn't wear tires as bad as you think.

What LED's would you recommend? By the way, Love your dash mod! Can't wait for the DIY, but if it's over my head I may make a trip north!

In for pics. Do you think you will be able to make it a relatively cost effective mod?

We would love if you made a progress thread.

Yes, I am gathering materials at the moment. Once the tails arrive I will cut them open to determine the effective working area, aka the 'canvas' for the array, and design a few mock-ups before designing the board. I'll post a link here once it's up and running, I look forward to everyone's input in the matter.

As far as cost is concerned, I am going to try an keep this as cost effective as possible. More to come!

I've never seen that kit before, that rear is awesome! Instead of the two small pieces on each side of the exhaust tips I wish it went straight across to make one large strip to form more of a defuser. It's called Blaze? But only made in Japan? Screw that, shipping prices are rediculous!

I added an inspire steering wheel $80, taillights $40 ea, fenders with side markers $90 ea and front bumper with bumper pole $110. Parts totaled $510 but shipping was $1100 so total would have been over $1600! I was very surprised by how their oem parts are so much cheaper than ours. Our fenders are about $110 here and theirs come with the marker lights. I bought my lights haggling off eBay for $35 because I bought a few things from the seller but normally they're $65. An Oem steering wheel goes for a few hundred with wood grain. The bumper came with fog lamps a $160 value here. It came with the oem lip too and intersection lights, a $200 value here. Their salvage yards are so cheap! I wish I could buy a bunch of smaller things work the order so I could list them on ebay here to cover the costs. I'd skip the fenders, a shop in Cali sells the entire front end conversion for rediculously cheap but have been out of the bumpers for a while! Folding mirrors are $40, fenders are $60 I think. Grill is $50.

I'm currently looking for the LED taillights. Depo makes a set on ebay but they look a little cheap. Has anyone done any group buys lately for some custom ones lately? I realize the threads old, was searching Google for them under pictures and saw the thread.
