Great job Pipes! Where'd you find factory GT-4 wheels?

i have new door cards with premium sound





also i found the pic that i am modeling my car against tell me if im close



and now my new project



Id stick with the non-premium sound door cards just cause it seems like that extra speaker doesnt look like it belongs there. If you do keep the new door cards then PLEASE take off the plasti-wood trim pieces. goo gone works wonders on those...

as for how ur car compares to the one your modeling it after, id say you're doing a fantastic job. The grill the red car has is sick. get one of those asap.

another project celi???? are you gonna do the same thing to it? are you gonna start converting celis into gt4s and sell them here???
I know OEM is best, and I kind of feel bad for saying it...but ditch the GT-4 rims and get some wide 17's, they'll complete the look.

The red GT4 has nothing more then a stock grill painted white.

Keep up the good work Pipes.

Oh, That's right. But still, that thing only has a window lock on it, passengers don't get a window lock either lol

If that was formerly the controls for the driver, then wheres the passenger window and mirror controls on it?

I've never seen that lip before either, what brand/replica is that?

EDIT: You're right, That rectangle button is the central locking lock/unlock button, not the window lock. The window lock should be a little square button

I see door locks and window controls, but no window lock. confused.gif.

I'm guessing the door card is also from a RHD car, or maybe he switched the wiring.

I think he was wondering where the other controls were, but doesn't realize that that side is now the passenger side...unless I just completely understood him wrong.

Keep up the good work Pipes.

Pipes, thanks man, I knew it was the european dealer option lip, i even have the part number of: PZ402-14440-AB. I was wondering where you ordered it from? I've checked e-bay, dealers, people breaking cars, I'd pay a pretty good premium for one, I just can find one!
thanks


the lip came up to almost 370
thats better than what I was expecting, where did you get it though? if you'd rather not say you can just say so
thanks

I have sort of scrolled through 12 pages of people quoting each other and I can not find whether you had any problems registering the car. Please let me know how that went.

Discussion topic, 3rd word.
I guess I need to re-phrase my question. When he re-registered his car... did anyone come out to look at the car or did he just do it in DMV, got his tags and yada yada. I am interested because me and my friend were talking about right hand drive cars in usa and it would be interesting to find out from person who have actually went through legal aspects of things.
