Standard OEM lights that I cracked open and painted black.

I test fitted my wheels too, I just haven't posted the pics up yet.

Updated my old Megan Ez's with some new (to me) swift springs recently.
Front 16k
Rear 14k
I know its not valved correctly, but it rides way better than before. Life span of these coilovers seems limited now anyhow.

Replaced lower ball joints up front

"Reworked" front fenders to clean them up
Shaved down the rear fender for clearance

Bought new rear tires for more tuck
2153518 Achilles

Added an 8mm spacer to the front for more poke, still needs more.
Now 18x9 +12
