Lightbulb bodywork done '95












coilovers are on backorder, need to make brackets for projector foglights and need to get nicer tips professionally welded

bodywork itself looks clean but please inform me as to why you're running JP stickers on a car with a knock-off front bumper with a design stolen from Insurance iirc.

unless you just got the stickers since you have cushions/neckpads/whatever, in which case it's cool

ya that would be the case, i like the way it looks =) o and i learned my lesson with the knock off bumper never again lol i guess its worth the extra money, because everything would fit perfectly lol
it was a pain. but i have my stock one which can be fixed if necessary so im not worried about it

What was the body work for?

The JP heritage 3 knock off wheels would look nice if they didn't have that concave spoke design to give fake lip.

Yes, many swear not to use knock off parts once they go through the trouble of installation... the savings are not worth the headache in most cases.

Car looks good, I'm sure it would look even better once you have the finished product. Lowering will dramatically enhance the look once you get your coil overs. Thanks for sharing.

Man, shes a beauty. Loving the all black, greatly enhances stance and flow. Just gotta drop it now, can't wait to see finished product.

That's a hot 2nd Gen! I'm looking to buy a 2nd Gen or possibly a 2.5. Good work!

are you referring insurance as a legit brand with original designs?

yeah, i was. http:www.Insurance-group.net this bumper though, wasn't from insurance (though raceonusa, the manufacturer, has another one that is)

this kit is a knock off from K-Break i believe.
