KILAWOMBATThanks for the heads up. Your clean car was definitely an inspiration.

Wow man what a productive 6days!! Love the progress pics too. Wheels were a perfect choice for the car, I think the 19's VS-XX would not have "fit" the overall look of the car.
Sometimes its hard to believe what wheels, lowering and tint can do for a car, but this proves it!

Totally agree, few mods on a car such vanilla like this, really "Transforms" it.
I'm done with this one though, the next car...

Your family isn't too far - I am on the North side in The Woodlands. Cross country in a Lotus would be fun for sure. Yeah the wife isn't into the mods like I am but I tell her it has been paid off for years and it is fully depreciated. Fixing it up make sense economically to me.
The grill is a Junction Produce I bought from CL member Chubby. I painted the old grille insert and surround black before I picked up the JP grille. I wanted a badgless look rather than my gold emblems.

Love the badgeless look.I will keep an eye out for grilles if I can find one.

Appreciate it bro. Still debating on the wheels. I could use the spacer in the rear, but have to cut the fender lip like you and Mike have done. Debating. You guys are a bad influence

If you insist! You guys are terrible. Ok ok, I give in. Time to go spacers, and cut fenders
BTW Mike, figured out the timing belt/water pump/brake stuff. All should be done by Friday. Good as new, for the baseline on the car.
Then will do alignment (recommended shops?)
last question Since I can't get the trunk to open with either remote, I figured will try to change batteries in the remote (doubt that will do anything). Where can I get the batteries, and does the remote need reprogramming after batteries are changed?

Hit Mike up for his billet grill - he was going to sell it at one time.
Trenz used to make one. They were bought and the new owner discontinued it. Maybe Luis at Carson can still source the JDM billet grille now. He tried to get me one however the supplier never confirmed the order. Maybe a Fabulous?
