He's been collecting everything for a long time, got it painted, and we decided to put it all on.

I think the paint has a little left to do, like buff, but it looks good.


^^^^ before












^^^ Toss everything up real quick. Just hanging there, not with bumper/grille mounted.

.
.
.
.
.
.





So yep. I plan on takin more pics of it soon, tonight or something. When it's rolling. :D

I think the total list of stuff was:

JDM fenders
99-00 bumper
USDM fog lights, Polarg yellow bulbs
Seibon CF lip
Seibon CF oem hood
99-00 grill
JDM CTR headlight
JDM sidemarkers
drop in HID kit, LOL. NOT retrofitted (oh well, haha)
rear lip
JDM thin side molding
painted stock sideskirts

It looks really nice. His plans for now are to maybe do something with rims, they're Rotas... oh jeeeeesh. Like polish them completely or something to make a little bit more original. And maybe swap it. LOL.

Here's some other pics that were taken of stuff at the shop.

----------------------


^^^^^ Mugen dampers for our buddies RSX



.
.
.
.


^^^^^ The cleanest MKIII Supra I've ever seen in my life.





.
.
.
.


^^^^ Our buddies built Galant.


^^^^ It's ******* FAST and has some crazy suspension set up and is an autocross car as well

.
.
.

Indeed.

Edit: Forgot about the fenders. Nice cars

Fog light color, headlights, side markers, that it. LOL.

The only thing he should have is the JDM fogs, but they still light up yellow so no big deal to me.

Supra I'm waiting on taking more pics of. I will once the motor is back in it soon.

The owner is some rich old dentist, who apparently loves Supras? LOL. Not a bad habit.

It was repainted (stock color) like 3 years ago, the ENTIRE interior is cream leather. As of right now it's getting a FULL built motor, single Turbo, FMIC set up and what not.



And the Galant, which, like any DSM, has gone through like 7 4G63's.. but it still fast. LOL.









This year it'll be running rims (I think he was looking for something gold to offset the exterior color) finally.

Funny story, the paint shop wasn't supposed to touch them, but they color matched them white. We were like "what the.... ah oh well"

Ooooohhhh so nice. I'd keep the stockers on the VR and get them powdered all black personally. Still sweet though. Thanks for sharing

Finished up tonight, tossed on some suspension stuff, and found two problems.

1) the rear lip is for a sedan. and sucks. LOL. doesn't fit right, so he's gonna sell and look for a 96-98 discontinued one.

2) we couldn't mount the sway bar because it doesnt have the Si adapter brackets to mount it, so gotta go find though.

He's getting Spoon CF mirrors and the rear lip, and I think that's it for the exterior. Interior should be done as well...

Now just to finally do something with the motor. LOL. He's previously owned a Prelude, b16a hatch and a b series Integra, so this car has just been like a comfortable cruiser. Nothing crazy fast.

I agree, the black grill always reminds me of Mickey Mouse.

Anyway, it looks awesome overall! I'm really surprised to say it but I love the blue city lights.
