New lights, other changes

Over the past winter:

1. Swapped my passenger axle

2. Swapped the stock lights for cefiro's with HID's (shielded) in the cefiro headlights, and the fogs. I'll have better pics with cutoffs in a few weeks. I also rewire the fogs so that I can use them with the headlights being on.


3. Wired in my O2 simulator


4. swapped suspension


5. New rims and tires - Privat Netz 19x8 +30 with 215/45/19 falken 452's (slight stretch)


6. Polished my fog lenses and diamond plate aluminum mats.

7. Changed spark plugs:


I still need to clean out the EGR tube, and then take the car to get it emissions tested, and I'll be ready to go out the door. Which is good timing, because I need it for my sister's wedding on April 19th!

Where did you get your fogs from? Your headlights and fogs look nice.

Last night, I finished up the last wheel and suspension install (passenger side front) and dropped the car down. I took some pics, but forgot to put them on my USB key, so I can't upload them from work.

The fogs are 3000K HID's in stock lenses. I'll get some more pics up eventually. Thanks for the comments!

The car looks great. How deep of a yellow are your 3000k fogs? Do they seem like a washed out yellow?

They definitely are not a washed out yellow, but they are also not a deep golden. I would say a brilliant yellow?

Hahaha don't worry, I'm getting pics, I swear! I may have some crappy pics up tonight, but I've got a stag this weekend, and I'm helping my parents install a new sink and dishwasher, etc.

I haven't bottomed them out yet, and I could drop some more, but I'm curious to see what the ride is like. I haven't taken it out yet, as I'm finishing up the EGR tube/port cleaning. I probably could use a 5-10mm spacer in the rear.


I saw the radiused fenders in your thread of your build up, how's that's coming along?

^^^ You aren't going to take a bat to him, are you? hahahaha

Glad there is movement on your project. I'm looking forward to see the end of your build. Is their a timeline or a date you need it ready by? I'm actually thinking of making some LED boards for my taillights thanks to you.

I took the car out this weekend for 20 minutes. Just to see what codes if any, are going to come up. I still have to wire in the o2 simulator, so I expected that code.

Okay, now on for the pics.

Thanks man, I appreciate the comments. Looking forward to your pics, and I may pick your brain on LED lighting for my tails.

looks clean man. I plan on getting all new fogs cause mine are busted. Im buying the clear fog/corner package that they have

http://www.depoautolights.com/index.php?cPath=38_64

thats where i am going to buy my shiz from and probably cefiro headlights.

I was thinking about making led tails, but i dont know if i feel like ****ing around with load resistors so that the signals dont wig wag their asses off. Other than that i made a custom led 3rd brake light which is pretty easy to do and it looks great.

Thanks for the comments. I'm going to have to sand and polish my fogs, as they are getting kind of pitted.

Very tastefully done! All of your mods are fantastic. Are those headlights from depo?

I'll get some pics of the light output soon. It's not bad, but it is not superb either. Definite hotspotting, which is why I banged my head against my fist lamenting my sale of my actual Cefiro's.

Those lights are from depo I believe.

Very nice car.... I have almost the same mods and same color car.
BTW I envy your hid's cefiros bc mine with h4 have horrible reflection.
I have cefiro headlights, ksports, tint and used to have 18s.
The kports with 19s are going to grip to the road like syrup but it's gonna be harsh...I had 18" but switched to the 15s bbs after the tires worn out.

Keep the mods up and post some dang pics of the cut-off mayn.
