Ok, finally got out and about and took some pics away from the house. Hope you like them..... let me know what ya think!!!

 

looks really good man

 

Nice pictures Brinkley. What kinda drop are you running, your car kinda looks like mine with the back end slightly higher than the rest of the car. Picture #3 thru #5 are the best ones. I like the look of those rims with the new center caps! Your car looks perfect exterior wise, nice work.

 

Ah....Portsmouth. The Mural Wall is pretty interesting isn't it?

Oh, much better with the center caps

 

LOL, not Portsmouth......actually Paducah, KY. I'm running H-techs on Illuminas.... thanks alot for the comments guys, makes it all worth the work... and it seems like thats all I've been doing is working on my car.... Only thing left on the outside is some rear spacers..... then I'm going to work on the interior..

 

Must be the same artist who did the wall in Portsmouth. Very similar (guess you aren't exactly close to that area).

Yeah, the rear spacers will bring them out nice and flush - I still need to pick up a set too.

Good work so far.

 

Looks nice, it would be tight if you switch to 2003 headlights.

 

yes, HID's are on the list of things to do... but will be awhile I would imagine. they aren't giving them away yet are they?

 

Nice...I want your rims!

 

very nice max

 

Very nice, clean look good job

 

I like it, simple and clean. Great rims.

 

I love it!

 

Looks very good, i love the wheels because they fit the car very well.

 

installed my chrome gauge rings this past weekend.... sweetness....

Before


After

 

The gauge rings look great. I still need to install mine...did yours have glue inside or did you buy glue to hold them on?

 

They came with something black on them, I don't think its glue, and I used Housecors How-to, only I didn't pull the whole cluster out. Its very ez to do, takes about 20 minutes, most of my time was spent getting rid of fingerprints and other specs on the plastic shield. Let me know if you have any questions.

 

Gauge rings look good. Definately a nice update for the plain looking gauges. Installed mine about 2 years ago. Should have came stock IMO.

 

installed my lexus yellow capsules last night, here's some pics. I love them, pics don't really do them justice though. Let me know what ya think!!!

 

false floor with door for spare tire... did this yesterday.

 

Max looks great. I really like your wheels. i would like to do the same thing with the false floor in my trunk that you did....what all did you need and have to do to get it done? looks good

 

Wow, great work on your car! The fogs, the floor in your trunk...great stuff! I also have gauge rings in my car. Definitely a nice touch!

 

Really nice 5th Gen you got there! A stillen kit would look so perfect on this car.

 

funny, I've been thinking about it.

 

a sheet of particle board, I used 5/8ths. All I did was place the trunk carpet on the sheet, and trace around it. Then I cut it out with a jig saw, measured where my sub box came to so I could open the door without any trouble, and cut the hole out for the spare tire. pretty ez really.

 

When I cut the false floor for my trunk, I couldn't fit the board into the trunk!! How did you get the whole thing in there?

 

Might have to make a 2-piece design. He made a false door on his, so i'm willing to bet that he folded the 'door' on the board, then put it in the trunk.

 

either that or assembled it in his car..

 

Frankd is correct. It was a pita for sho though. I had to turn it every which way I could and I almost thought it wasn't gonna fit, but I finally found that putting the big end in first and squeezing the small side in would work. Also had to add the door and hinge after it was installed, which also was a bear. I'm really pleased with it though, I couldn't handle that flimsy piece of cardboard they put in there anymore. WTH were they thinking? I guess they didn't fathom a four door having a box with a HUGE 15" sub in it.. lol

 

More pics, rear is a little lower now due to the heavier box and false floor.






be the last of my pics till I do my next mod.. and I'm not telling what that is.

 

nice max.. looks GREAT.. body kit??

 

where did the yellow fogs come from? are they whole new lights or just bulbs?

 

they are actually capsules that go over the oem bulbs, a little mod pretty ez to do really, there is a thread in the fog light comparison somewhere on the board. The capsules came from hidplanet.com and cost $37 I think. its all in the thread. pictures really don't them justice, they are friggn sick in person.
