Marcus is the man to share his successful experience with us.

As for the antenna, I would just get an aftermarket one to my liking and make it fit.
I believe that was exactly what they did anyway.
Or you can simply disconnect the antenna motor and it will stays down forever.

Not sure if you can find a nice one in US, but there are a lot of cute looking mini/short antenna in Asia.
I'll find some and post pics after I go back to Taiwan next month.

If you plan to install the Answer front bumper replacement, why not just get the 06+ one? haha
The extra parts you need will be an 06+ grill and the chrome trim.
It takes guts to mix and match kits on this car and I think yours will look really stunning.

Man if I knew people were serious about this mod I would have posted a list. Usually everyone is struggleing with runflats or some lame noise or creek. I havent even posted pics of my SC yet. Its good to see some diehard modders still like Johnny and Dman. Talwang your the JDM pimp keep all those pics coming. Johnny I cant wait to see how your SC turns out what color combo did you go with?

Yeah, Andy let me borrow his car for a few days and i got hooooooked I have been looking for one ever since.

Picked up a White/brown saddle just like yours. I love this car You know its time to get this forum modded up.

I see Pearlpower is still doing his awesome write-ups

I have read most of the threads on the kits. Seems like Wald and AC were the major players.

Right now I've got the 06'tails w/ecu, Tein CS and Iforged wheels. I need to to sell the wheels and the Tein. It doesn't give me the drop i was looking for.

Anyone looking for Iforged wheels cheap They are 20'ssss

Ok , I was able to get one 06 headlight to practice. I will be taking all sorts of pics and seeing what truly is involved swapping headlights.

My 1st question is the removal of the 06 leveling motor.

In this pic it looks like it just pulls out...does it?

1. turn signal does not fit

2. headlight turns on for a few seconds and then shuts off

any reason why it shuts off??
