THE20V

#1

This has been a work in progress for two years now, mainly because of being too busy to source parts and then 6 months to find a decent/honest spray painter to get the whole thing resprayed. Let me know what you think. There's only a couple of things left I would like to do:
1) Put some spacers on to get the wheels to come out further in the guards.
2) Tinted windows.
Apart from that, I like it because it is close to stock, but still looks nice....I think anyway. The first picture is on the day I bought it off an old lady, full stock.

what happen to the other fog light?

Oh nothing happened to the foglight. That photo was taken the day I picked it up from the spray painter, and I hadn't put the foggies on yet. You'll notice in that photo both foglights are missing.

I actually would love to get some JDM Tails and Projector headlights, but they're both so expensive, its a bit of a joke to be honest.

Good luck with it man, make sure you post up pics when you're done.
Also, some guys were asking about my hood lining up with my front bar. You'll notice in the photos its pretty good but not 100%. Since then I added a couple of nuts underneath where the bar bolts onto the support and it looks perfect now.

I took your advice and bought a pair of JDM Tails, it cost me $126 US delivered to Australia, on ebay. Is that reasonable?

Are they a straight bolt on, or is there anything I have to do ?

Did you see it on ebay? hehehe....

Honestly, i'm not keen on selling it at all. I really love the car, its an awesome car man. So reliable and nice to drive and looks good too.

I was just bored and thought if I can get a decent price for it, then why not. But I would actually be more upset if it got sold than if it didnt.

Thats why I bought these lights, because I have a few more little touches I would like to do to it yet.

I would really like to put spacers on it, but I dont like the idea of them being illegal.

I think it looks like a gt four..
Lol just kidding.
Yea Definately need spacer like said.
Or sell those rims and get the exact ones or similar with a better offset.
but the rim color suits the car a lot.

I like the car, is this done with patience and dedication, I could only the side skirts and rear skirts.
very clean.
where did you get the clear side markers

THE20V

#22

Thanks, I got the clear side marker from a local parts dealer here in Australia. My brother actually had these wheels on his ST185 and I got them off him, he went and bought a set of 19's and they make his car look awesome. Have a look below:

This is with my wheels on it:



And this is how it looks now with the 19's and spacers and 245 series tyres:



Although I must admit, it did drive better with the 17's on it. Even I used to have 18's on my car and I didnt like the ride. I guess its a compromise.
