What's your tint %?

 

Darkest I could go in Colorado. I think it's something around 27%. It's not very dark at all but does the job well in keeping sunlight out.

 

Loving your car! keep it coming!

 

love the color of 2nd set! gold/bronze looks great with red

 

Thanks all. Just got back from my business trip and was greeted with a nice lot of parts waiting for me at the door...sway bars, springs, short shifter, adjustable control arms, etc. Hoping I get a chance to install some of these this weekend.

 

Had a bit of fun installing my H-sport springs and my H-sport rear sway bar yesterday. Have not had a chance to push it to the limit but the feedback from the springs and RSB felt great so far! Next up is a set of new tires for my other wheels.

 

Very very nice. So glad you got rid of the stripes, looks much nicer. The simplicity of the front end is perfect.

Are those Kosei wheels or Buddy Club? I wanna see those with some rubber mounted up!

 

Very nice, Sherlock would be proud......

 

Thanks slowballin. I do like it better without the stripes as well. The bronze wheels are Kosei. I'll be picking up tires here soon so I should have it soon - hopefully.

That's awesome cop...lol:

 

I'd love to hear about your short-shifter purchase and install. Subscribed.

 

SUBSCRIBED.
Didn't know you where doing a build thread too. Its always nice to see what everyone is up to.

 

I'll try and install my shifter this weekend filmy

Yup DG...not quite as gnarly as your build but I'll try my best to keep things interesting.

 

It looks great so far, keep up the good work. I do like it a whole lot better without the stripes, nice and clean.
I cant wait to see this one in person.

 

Few quick updates I spent a little bit of time installing my HSport Adjustable rear control arms over the weekend and plan to get my alignment done this week.

I have a set of new tires coming in for my Kosei but after doing a secondary test fit, I decided to go against the bronze look. Not going to say what color I'm going to finish the wheels with but here's what been keeping me busy. I've been high from inhaling paint stripper...

 

how on earth did you get the headlights blacked out inside!! awesome

 

Split it open and painted them.


Here's a little preview of what I'm doing with the wheels. I know what I'll be doing the next two weeks. This thing requires a lot...a whole lot...of sanding.

 

Is that polish or paint, can't really tell.

 

Polish...unless my hands die before I finish

 

Nice, work on those forearms.

 

Yeah. Spent over 6 hours on one wheel today and it's nowhere near where I need it to be. The picture above is just a test polish to see if I'll like it on the car. I'm going to try to mirror polish it which will make this one long project. It's testing my patience and I'm dying to finish it. The tires arriving yesterday doesn't help the situation either. I gotta take my time and not rush it to get it right.

 

You certainly don't waste anytime jumping into the modding! Car looks great!

 

Thanks! I've always been into modding so it's a must for me when I get a car. Below were some of my previous projects...all of which I miss very much

 

Team Dynamics Pro Race 2s?

 

Yep. Let me know if you're looking for a set. I'm thinking of selling mine.

 

Just a couple of quick updates on my little build I installed a Quicksilver exhaust and love the sound of this thing. The weight savings alone, going to a single muffler that's considerably smaller, is a huge gain from my perspective. I definitely recommend this exhaust to anyone looking for a deep sounding exhaust.

After going through some serious pain on my wrist (no joke), I decided to ditch the polishing idea on the Kosei's. It was just too much labor by hand and not only was it destroying my hand, it was taking up too much of my free time . I painted the suckers Graphite and absolutely love the way it's looking right now. Only downside to the wheels are the smaller tires that gave my car an unneeded extra wheel gap. I'm definitely going to have to go lower than my HSport springs due to the smaller tires used to accommodate for the lower offset and wider rims. Unfortunately, my car is already scraping at my apartment complex's speed bumps so I have to wait until I move out in less than 2 months before I pick up coilovers to tuck the tires. Below are some updated pics!
