Default Just a few pics....

Hey guys,, had some free time before I went back to work and snapped off a few pics while she is still clean. Just installed my JDM headlights, and spent 5 hrs cleaning her the night before. Have to change the headlight bulbs again b/c I bought the tri-colored ones instead of the bright white ones (should have read what I was picking up, absolutely hate this type of bulb!!!!) also took out the yelllow housing for the fog lights and just left it clear as well.

Oh btw,,, for those that are familiar with my car,, the "TAMMY FAYE BAKER" eyelids are currently off of my car only to have them repainted. LOL!!!!

Before...


After....





Next,,,,,HID's ,,,, need them badly so I can begin to pull all of my ideas together.

I may consider it considering they had to grow on me in the first place. Was just trying to be unlike everyone elses. We'll see.

Kicking around the idea of putting a factory style spoiler on the car w/third brake light. Any opinions, comments??? Dry fitted one from an older model accord (early 90's model)and it looked fairly decent. Just a thought,,, please comment.

No eyelids until you fully kit the LS and slam it on bags lol. Are you going to go monotone all black?

VS- the LS will be fully kitted by this spring (hopefully). Am going to go monotone but wont do that until I am ready to install kit, that way I wont pay for a paint job twice. As far as slamming it on bags, love the look of it however would not chance doing it over here in Md. Roads here are not the best in the world so I really don't want to go too much lower. I need to keep some rubber under my rims, LOL!!!! Thinking of changing my rims also (long term project). Just taking things one step at a time. Hard to believe that this time last year, my car was completely stock with no mods at all.

the LS looks sharp, trukn1 !
And personally, I like the way it looks with Tammy's eyelids! They def look better on your ride than they do on her LOL
Two suggestions - straighten out that bent up front license plate, and find a place to take pics that doesn't always involve a chainlink fence in the background. (j/k)

LOL!! the front plate has been through alot. As far as the chain link fence,, I was preparing to get back on the road and the fence is in the area where I park my car while I am away. I had a few minutes before I was to leave, and just decided to snap off a few minutes. I do agree, the fence does hamper the entire pic though.

Maybe the low rise deck spoiler is a 1 to 2" lip? I have seen some on LS models that look great. I have a similar lip on my 350Z - low with no third light. Your car is looking good man.
