Default Specials build thread

I coudlnt find my build thread for the life of me, but im going to start fresh and do it right this time.

Intro: I got my 1993 SC400 about 2 years ago stock passed down from my dad (2nd owner since 96) and up to this day...its pretty much still stock except for a couple of things.Mileage was at about 185k when i got it now its at 213xxx and still strong but due for a tune up...defiantly. but enough of that and on to the pics and plans

On it now is:
-Alpine CDA-9856
-Two 12" kicker comp
-Cr-kai reps
-3.5k halogens (my HID ballasts took a poop)
-Corner light mod (92-94)
-Painted OEM lip
-All the running lights in the front all swapped to amber (corner lights also)

As of now im awaiting tax return money and as soon as thats all set ill start buying ans stroing.

Once spring time hits I'm going to start installing parts like
-97+ side skirts
-thinking about the top speed pro 1 exhaust with custom piping
(heard a lot of good reviews)
-Repairing the interior: carbon fiber wrapping any woodgrain and using sem interior paint to touch up the fading spots and what not
-New set of HID's
-Eibach lowering springs on KYB GR-2's
-Send cluster off to lextech for white back lighting
and whatever else i come across for now














these looked okay but not really kinda sorta

i did get rid of them btw





Enjoy, more pics to come
