Default Making JDM Headlight Cookies *Pics*

Thought I'd try and come up with a clever title for this pic, lol.


I finally got my JDM headlights and cleared out the reflectors before I put them in.

Here are some pics I took after washing the car with new headlights.






And I don't think I posted any pics of the Supra radiator that I installed a little while ago.



Man I can't wait till my next mod!!

Thanks man!

I believe it is a K-Break Strut bar. It was on the car when I bought.

It would probably be the same since the acutal mounting spot needs to be moved just a little. I may just end up making two custom straps but for now they work great and are only off a little bit.

this may sound stupid, but why did you replace the radiator with the supra one?

The reason I got the Supra radiator was because my stock one had a crack in it and needed to be replaced. Since I was going to get the Supra one in the long run (I eventually want to turbo) that I might as well get it now since stock radiators are pretty expensive also.

Thanks! It's pratically oem since its exterior is stock except the headlights, lol.

They are Zirgo fans with an AAP Fan shroud kit that we custom make and sell! Let me know if anyone is interested. I still have the thermostat plugged in.
