Hey I was wondering which clear corners those are that you blacked out? Is it the crystal clear ones from ebay? They match really well with your blacked out headlights. I've seen other blacked out corners for sale on ebay but the entire inside was black and it looked like crap. Those ones you have look better cause the black is just around the edges. Can you possibly get a close up shot of your blacked out corners?

Side skirts on the coupe, sedan and wagon are all the same. So I don't think it should be a problem. Your car is shaping up nicely.

Hey thanks.
there are runners that go under the sill plates, that seems to be the only difference. once I trim those and apply some putty to get the seems closer to the body they should be good to go.

Well the racing seat and 4 point harness went in today. Its sitting a little too straight up and down for my taste so I am going to shim it a bit. Other than that it went in well and looks decent. It will look way better once My uncle finishes with the new seat cover.

well the seat is shimmed to max comfort!!



I relocated the radio to the center pod and I have to say... That was way too easy!! All I needed to buy was an antenna extender from my local auto parts store. I noticed right away that the pod was the wrong color, but that’s cool. Its all hard plastic so I think Im just going to prime, sand it, and paint it body color.
I cant believe how easy it was to install.
even the holes in the after market radio lined up with the metal bracket!


Now I have lots of space for the turbo timmer, boost controller and any thing else I want!!

things are kinda on hold for a bit. I just landed a good job so the money will be there, but I need to find a good aftermarket rear bumper, and I have a line on new front fenders. Just a matter of getting those last two things and braking out the paint.

Hey, thank you so much!
Yeah, I can never leave any car I get stock and I figgure any one can work for the money and write a check to have any thing done. I just want to learn as much as I can while I go along.

Speaking of $
Just laied down a couple of bucks on e-pay for this body kit




I couldnt get my hands on a rear bumper I liked for less than $250 shipped so I struck a deal with the seller and picked up this entire kit for not much more than that. I am still going to use my front bumper and side skirts so I am going to just off the bumper and skirts when I get my hands on it!

"I love it when a plan comes together!"

That rear bumber should look good. Glad you're not using the front bumper with the kit..

I know what you mean!

No offence to the person that put that body kit together but I never thought the side skirts and rear bumper matched the front bumper.

On that note, here is a thread where I am selling off the bumper and skirts, drop me a line if any one is interested. cudaeh@yahoo.com

WOW!!!
F that noise!!
I was just looking for a good picture of the do-luck kit to show my friend and I ran across these pics.

They are using the wrong pictures to sell that kit!!!!!!

Now I dont think my bumper and skirts go with that rear bumper.
Plus the front bumper looks less annoying without the FMIC





I am going to have to spend a couple of hours in the drive way when I get the body kit swapping out bits and pieces trying to figgure out what I want to use and what I dont!!
