yeah planning on a full polish. might take awhile since there were about 7 different color layers. :thumbdown:

most of the paint on the faces is stripped off, just having some trouble with the paint between the mesh parts. tires are going on them on monday though.

no lip pics yet. actually havent mounted it even. going to be buying the front and rear bumpers off the car the lip came from next week, so ill be mounting the lip to that one.
the rear has an edm integra foglight in it too. :D

- Mon Aug 12, 2013 3:13 pm #335401 got the 155/55/14s mounted to the meshes.
looks like rubberbands. feels like it too. the ride quality is not great with them on.

had to put it up on boards to get the jack out from under it when i was done :lol:
as it sits right now i have wheel gap, i can fit one finger between the tire and the fender, BUT my subframe is an inch and a half off the ground.
i think my tires might be a little too much low profile.
and then i drove it 2.5 hours and 130 miles to honda day. threw sparks on all those terrible new jersey roads.

- Wed Sep 11, 2013 1:49 am #336539 havent lowered it more or installed my exhaust bits yet. working retail means that back to school time period sucks ass.
couple few things though.
picked up oem front and rear bumpers. front bumper has shaved license plate holes and the rear bumper has an edm rear fog.
pics when i mount em tomorrow.
also ordered a moates burn2 (usb version) chip burner and shopping for widebands at the moment. leaning towards an aem setup
getting ready for the super charging. taking my time, cause i dont wanna muck it up.
more tomorrow! :thumb:

and after:

i also been having issues with my foglights only coming on sporadically.
and heres why:
Image
Image
Image
thats the foglight relay.
this probably doesnt help either:
Image
one of the lenses is cracked, so im going to eventually order some yellow fogs and fix it that way.
trailer, this pic is for you:
Image
my sway bar barely above the ground
Image
thats a 3inch extension.
more things to come.

after ~250,000 miles, my trusty little y7 finally let go. cylinder #1 threw a rod. put a decent sized hole in the block.
