Sold my 5th gen on Wednesday. After selling it, I bought my dads share in our 6th gen.

Last weekend we got the transmission in it, so I have been driving it since wednesday. I really like it.

Today I got my sub, amp, and head unit installed. I bought some kenwood speakers, but didnt get them in today. I also finished the climate control led conversion done, as well as the cluster conversion done.

Anyway, I just made a few different orders for parts for it. I ordered the following...


-17" wheels and tires (Black spokes with polished lip)
-C-one front bumper
-Clear turn signals and side markers
-Side skirts
-lowering springs(dropzone for now, until I can afford actual coilovers)

After I get some time, and some more money saved up, I am going to repaint it completely. I havent decided on a color yet. I have it narrowed down to three colors. Metallic black, platinum silver metallic, and midnight blue metallic.

Not yet. I will take pics of it all once I receive the parts. I cant wait to get them. I have been wanting to do all this stuff to it, but havent had the money. Then this kid tells me he wants to buy my 5th gen for an insane amount, and I cant pass that up.... lol

Thanks man.

I was hoping to get more pics today, but I had to work on my dads car, and then on my friends car all day, so I will get some tomorrow.

Even though my wheels are 7.5" wide, I still need to get spacers. I think I am going to get some soon, and then they will sit flush with the fenders.

My bumper should be here early this coming week, and so will my skirts, lights, and a couple other goodies.

After seeing the mods you have done thus far.

I would strongly suggest:

Turbo Blew

red that way the black tails will be awesomely pimp

It was red before. The previous owner had it "repainted", which I must say was the worst paint job EVER.

I like red, but I think it draws too much unwanted attention.

I havent smoked the tails yet, and I dont know if I am going to. It will depend on the color I decide on. I did red the turn signals out though.

#24

it only attracts attention if you are doing things to attract attention. my car is red and i only gotten one ticket and that was cause they had a speed trap on the off ramp of the highway. so dont let the bad rep that red has deter you from getting a color if you like it and if you check my picks. i have a red car with blacked out tails.

92-gt

#25

Yeah.. I really like the red. I just have always been a fan of dark colors on cars, and of course silver.. lol.

We will see. It isnt getting painted until this summer, so I am allowing myself to think about it for a while to make sure i am happy with the color I finally decide on.

So I finally got my c-one front bumper today. I worked on it for a few hours to try and make it fit properly with no avail.

I did everything I could to make it fit. I finally got it on and secure, and it still didnt fit properly. Then, on top of it, I shut the hood, and it had a half inch gap between the hood and bumper.

So I took it off and put my stock one back on.

I am going to take the "lip" part off the c-one, and fit it onto my stock bumper.

I guess this is just an expensive learning experience..

Got some more pics of my celi the other day... I am planning on getting the GT-4 front bumper soon, as well as a paint job.

Sorry for the picture quality, they are cell phone pics.

Here are my lights. I smoked my clear side markers, got some eurolite fog lights, and purple Nokya high beams, with yellow Nokya low beams.



Here is my car at a job site we were working at on a river.



Here it is at another job site this past week.









I have been really busy with work, and havent gotten much time to do anything.

I ended up deleting my EGR because a CEL kept getting thrown for an egr malfunction. When I removed it, it was completely plugged.

Here is what I am going to be getting this summer...

-Seats
-Spacers
-GT-4 bumper
-Paint job
