Default Wholesome EK goodness... my latest mods (Headlights/JDM Fogs/Exhaust/Shocks)

Hey all... here's some photo's of my newest mods that I bought and installed last week.

--- New Mods:
Black Housing headlights with Sylvania SilverStar bulbs
JDM OEM type Foglamps
Magnaflow Cat-Back Exhaust (Painted the canister black, too much Bling for me)
Tokico Illumina Adjustable shocks
---- Soon to come mods:
CF Spoon Style Duckbill Spoiler to be installed this week
--- Mods on the horizon:
New paint (Possibly Porsche
New Wheels (Rota, Volk, work...)
d16y8 with some goodies...
new springs or coilovers
antisway bars
strut braces..
CF hood
JDM thin side-mouldings
Spoon style mirrors...
Any other ideas ?





no, one foglamp isnt brighter than the other, it still needs to be aimed

nice additions to the hatch
did you have to cut out the corners of your grill to make space for the fogs?

kwik2nec: yeah, i'm having a hard time deciding on rims... might end up with Bronze Volk CE28Ns, i just can't decide...

teamlegacy: no, i never sold it, a guy hit me in the rear the weekend before the Xtreme Nationals show and i'm having a hard time with that, so I just decided that i'll probably keep it until at least next year, then maybe get a Scion xB... i just dunno... I like my car tho, so why not mod it....

Thanks man !!!

Yeah, you just cut the middle section and 2 tabs out, and it mounts... best thing of all, your car is already pre-wired for 'em, just find the plugs.... i can get them at $140 each + shipping if anyone wants 'em, they're made of glass/metal... very nicely made.

I'm really happy with the magnaflow... its not real loud, although it has Straight-Through construction... and its full stainless steel... It has a deep tone. I noticed a difference after putting it on, I had a stock exhaust with a aftermarket muffler welded on (like that when I bought it)...

I'll probably order CTR F&R lip from JDM **** soon, and as for the foglamps, I've been getting alot of compliments on them, everyone thinks the front bumper on the 96-98 is too plain and think they help give it some character.

Off to work !

As for the key marks, yes, it was keyed, however, it was like that when I bought it. I buffed a good portion out though. I'll need to get it painted anyway after I got hit in the back a couple weeks ago...

As for the wheels, i'm having a hard time deciding, thinking of 16" Circuit 8's in bronze, but i dunno....
and the grille... it's all coming with time... And, my JDMshit (aka ABS Dynamics) CF Spoon style spoiler came today... very nice.
