you wouldn't happen to have a more straight ahead picture of the installed grills do you?

Thanks

Nice car, congrats on purchase.

Have you thought about black mirror caps? You can message ebay scrap dealers and ask and they are usually pretty cheap really. Just have to make sure not to smash glass on removal Unless you like the white ones obviously, black might blend in nicer with your windows for instance and car colour.

Nah, I love the white accents on the car. It makes it really unique, and gives it a nice pop.

Some pictures from today:
Washed it:



and then installed an iPod aux cable, tinted the tails, and threw on the Alta plate cover:

Just some updates..


March 2nd, I got my new projector heads installed, along with color matched headlight rings (did them myself).

Also installed an 8k HID kit into the projectors. Light output has significantly increased over the factory xenons. Cutoff looks great too.

Tinted the front bumper side markers.






As of most recent (yesterday):





Lowered the car on Tein S-Tech springs. Did the one-ball mod. Tinted the side scuttle turn signals, debadged the rear end. Also installed brand new front strut mounts, as the passenger front was cracked when I bought the car.

Handling has improved greatly, and steering feels tight as ever.

Next will be a 19mm RSB

Some updates.

April, I sprayed my wheels "Grabber Green" and blacked out the side scuttles, gas cap, and did the OutMotoring Beltline Blackout







Yesterday, I painted the "S" on the side scuttles green to match the wheels, and color matched my scoop:





Next will be the QwikLip that I ordered from QwikLip.Com!
