Got the bumpers on this weekend with my sons assistance. Also installed some eibach rears and QA1 shocks

Eibach seem to have dropped the rear too low. Looks like more than 1.8” from factory height

Ok... Installed the tail lights and a headlights Today. Only did the two front because the LEDs I ordered came incomplete. Waiting on seller to send the remainder of the parts.

I repainted the taillight trim and headlight trim. I will be leaving the bumpers chrome. Not sure about the grille yet.

As for the steering wheel I’m not sure how I feel yet. Maybe the style that’s giving me second thoughts. Opinions please

Looks awesome!!!

but I like the factory wheel better 🤪


You can use a rubbing compound like this on the tail light lenses and they will look like new

Thanks I will try it and I agree on the wheels. Can’t find any for a decent price locally. Eventually I will upgrade

Figured I’d use the passenger kick panel to hide the fuse block since the original computer is being removed.

Those passenger side kick panels do come in handy for hiding stuff,LOL
I put my Daytona Sensors ignition box in mine.
