I never thought those OEM wheels would look that sick on our cars. I will definitaley pick up a set if I came across a good deal.

 

I don't have any recent pics but l'll play. The car now has 177k on the odo.

 

Essential do you remember what gen/model TSX that lip came from? My friend has a extra 1st gen TSX lip he's willing to let me play with. Thanks

 

I think it was the 1st gen tsx if I'm not mistaken.

 

The rears once installed will be dialed in. Getting spacers for the rears, rolling fenders and done. The fronts I'm going lower .5 to 1 inch since I only drive this car 5 months out of the year I can live with it lol.

 

Essential - that's spectacular. I'm sure that lip is hard to come by

 

Did someone say lower?

 

sick stance essential!

 

Essential1 and Mcsteve always killing it!

 

thanks. Hopefully with my next set of mods ill be at mcsteves performance level too.

 

^^^how do your axles hold up?

 

They dont.



I love south FL. This pic was taken in the "winter" during a cold front.

 

 

Howd you mount your ipad?

 

Yeah. How?

And where did you get those lips?

 

That's clean. I think that's a homemade lip. Did you get the material from home depot? What exactly is it

 

I fabricated a custom mount out of a couple iphone vent mounts and a plastic ipad case. It works through a USA-Spec device. Steering controls work to control it as well

The lip is from Home Depot. It's a Garage Door Seal made out of foam rubber and stuck on using double sided all weather tape. Here is a link to a how to: http://hometeamperformance.com/revie...depot-lip.html

Also I forgot to mention my car has NWP spacers and a GAB intake

 

Would love if someone could make it for the 1st gen I30 and a little longer too if possible.

 

HA I'm soooo making that homemade lip this weekend. Don't understand where he screwed the lip to - your two cents please?

 

Sweet mod... Another subtle mod which you may like is the blackout tape around your windows.. This would remove the chrome surround. My first application is still on strong 3 years later...

I'm stealing this sexy lip idea stat!

 

 

DNA59, That thing is looking gorgeous. What kind of tires are you running right now. Ours is about due for some tires and I'm just trying to shop around a little.

 

Thanks. The tires are Nexen N1000. I went with them because I got a great deal on them from a friend that manages a tire shop. Not much choices here when it comes to tires, especially when you factor in cost.

 

Hey what kind of projectors do you have on your headlights? I know you were showing how you redid the whole rear of the car since it was smashed when you bought it. I might do that to my mom's car actually which is the 2000 I30.

 

Dont forget to make write up with pics

 

I have a thread in the members ride section of the forum that was just for my lights. Check it out...it will make ur job a whole lot easier. Only thing that's not in there is the pseudo quad projectors part of it since I'm still nit satisfied with the high beam section as yet.

 

what, you think i'm resting on my laurels and not moving one step ahead?

*evillaugh* MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

however, chicago is not treating my car so well. Discover new scratches and dings every day.

Vanilla Ice called...he wants his rims back! Lol

 

Its all VIP out there. Definitely needs to be DUMPED!! Good start so far.

 

Nice wheels. Sell me them

 

2000 I30 115000 miles, have had her for a year now, trying to keep her up.

Thats how she came.


How she looks now

 

Just some updated pics from the last time I posted in here. These and plenty others are in my thread in the Member's Ride section (which for the longest time I didn't know existed on this site). Probably won't be many more appearance mods for my car, unless I get the power-fold mirrors with the integrated turn signals next year. And then maybe an HKS exhaust (I think it yields the best sound without making the car stand out too much) when my OEM one is done for, as long as I can integrate the HKS in so that I don't have to cut the bumper.

 

Updated with list of active members with pictures up in this thread!

 

Changed mine up a bit. Picked up some BC coilovers.

Same wheels polished up, used for shows/meets...



And for everyday running around...

 

Lovely. Just lovely

 

oem cefiros w/ led drl's and led signals

 

What wheels are those? I'm calling BBS, but don't look like the ones that come iwth the touring model. These look bigger

 

Compare thos with mine because his comes with a lip
