Found some oem mudguards!! Working out the details if I get them shipped factory painted. )) super excited about this find!



Far as the fogs, I haven't started digging over seas yet, but so far I've been able to find everything I've been looking for. Tinting is a last resort

Ya probably won't believe me, but I gotta friend that is from Japan. She calls around for me and tells me what she comes up with. None of this is cheap, kinda silly actually how much these parts cost.. the fact everything is discontinued is $$$$
if you have money to spend I can have her look for stuff for you too.

^It's not what you know, it's who you know! Maybe you might need to hook me up! Did you decide on mirrors?

who you know does make a difference, but when it comes to cars, it's always expensive...sigh. I promise you, I'm not getting any discounts. lol...

inbetween on mirrors. haven't really decided. it is a euro thing. my audi has them...but it does make a HUGE difference with glares at night time.

silver 04 sportcross ...color code 1C0 for Millennium Silver Metallic or is the car Alabaster? :I i keep getting 2 different color codes when I dig online and search the forums. my car is still in the shop so I can't check the jams to see. I need to know so I can match the mudguards, the place in Japan said they can send them painted. which is FANTASTIC!

1c0 is millennium silver metallic. I got paint from Sherwin Williams. It was a decent match.

Best link ever!

yea i was checking that out earlier but alabaster came up on one search and i got confused. everything is squared away though, dealership in japan confirmed they can paint the mudguards for me.

about the only thing i have left is ordering some tires and finding some fog lights. then i guess i'll be done buying parts and my shopping spree will be over with. lol

I do have a lot of parts, lol but this is just mostly swappping out oem for jdm oem parts. pretty simple swap out kinda stuff. long as i don't get into replacing tires every month and compromising the durability of the vehicle, it's not really modding the car to me. shrug. just wanna nice clean car i can drive everyday and be happy with other than that crap old 94 civic i used to drive everyday.

far as the fogs go, don't really want to tint them if i can help it. really like knowing i have extremely nice, dependable jdm parts on the car. just got an email yesterday about 2 different types of gita fogs. 1 for oem Toyota bodykit and oem. Awaiting details.

I don't know about glueing the antenna. If they try to steal it the screw part can snap off in the base then you're SOL
