other whip

 

also note the kona in back of jeep in case it breaks down.. lol

 

nice whip man.Tails look lightly tinted.

 

thanks, yes they are just a little i dont like them too dark

 

Your car is looking good and the woody jeep is a classic.

 

Nice drop, are those HIDs in the fog lights?

 

What kinda drop is that and do you have spacers on the rears? Looks good, I like it a lot.

 

Looks very clean.

 

progress springs, rear spacers are 15mm, i had 25 i didnt like them too much. 6k fogs
thanks everyone

 

A majestic blue 5.5 on Progress springs.... I love those.... the subtle tint on the tails is nice too. Not feeling that sunroof shield thing though.

I actually prefer 20mm spacers for the rears, but that's just me.

 

Are you on factory struts/shocks?

 

i have illumina struts. the sunroof shield came with the car, i dont care for it either, i was apprehensive about removing it because i thought it might leak.

 

im so envious of HID fogs lol, nicely done man

 

thanks, you should get some

 

 

Looks pretty clean, especially the drop. What made you go from 25mm to 15mm on the rears? Did the tires look too "bulky" when sticking out that far??

 

I am partial to this color as it is the same as my 01 AE Max! Looks nice!

 

with the drop and the 25mm spacers, the passenger wheel rubs.... quite a bit. tires looked good though i gotta say. no problems with the 15mm
thanks for the comments

 

looks really good

 

drop looks SIIICK !! I agree with Puppet though, I think you should go with 20mm in the rear.

 

looks good man! yo there is a car show at CCSU on 4/27..pm me if you're interested.

 

It's looking nice!

I think without the sunroof shield and some wheels, it will really come together.

 

i removed the sunroof shield yesterday and i love the look. There is substantial damage to paint from it though....

 

thats what i did the first winter i had mine, so i wouldnt get snow and ice build up. i was sooo mad when i found out how bad the paint was under it, needless to say, it went back on!

 

as some of you suggested, i removed the sunroof wind deflector. i liked it a lot better without it. Yesterday i installed this.





i didnt realize how easy it comes on and off, and i like the style better than the trunk mounted one, which left marks.

 

you inspired me

these are before i ripped the 20% ugly blue tint off and put 5% on... and these are also before my drop... im going with a KYB + progress setup in about a month.. i just had to throw these up here...




8k headlights and foglights... im tinting the front side marker this weekend also... =D



any suggestions ...??

 

sounds like you got it covered, +1 on tinting the sides, i think cause they are clear and tinted they will look awesome. I had the progress drop, i changed the fronts only to S-techs, love the look. I have the 6k matching fogs/d2rs.
love your car, nice going
oh yea...led tails FTW!

 

 

 

yeah, im focused on the drop right now... i was looking at the s-techs.. but since im going to be throwing the front lip on their and i live in new york... i thought i would go with a less aggressive drop... god forbid i put it on and a pot hole just ruins my day. i might pick up some eye lids too.

im also painting the front grill i got the spray paint already... did you sand at all?? and how many coats you use cuz thats a perfect look. i dont want it too glossy and all

 

I think you'll like the progress drop. Its a nice even drop and the ride is very comfortable. I will be doing a lip as well, but i don't have the road problems a lot of others do.
Eyelids are something i always wanted to do but i didnt know which ones to get.
As for the grill, i did sand it, but i only sanded the outermost light gray off. I taped off the rest. I think i did two to three coats of paint.

 

yeah i will be doing before and after pics for the grill.
i heard from some that it can be bouncy at times (progress springs) did you experience this??
also i might paint the engine cover while i have the spray paint.... i wanna read more into that first so i get it right the first time.

You got pics of your reverse lights?? i need to get brighter ones, i have 5% tint and a lil more light at night would help out

 

i never expierenced any bounce with progress, they were a "like stock" ride
engine cover gets very hot and seems like normal paint may flake off in the long run.
i'll take some pics of the reverse lights tonight for you.

 

 

alright so like i said i was going to do... i painted my grill today...
this is my grill and the paint i used ...


my grill getting a bath


pretty much done with the sanding, just needs the finishing touches..


painted and ready to dry


dried and ready apply

 

Finished product ...



i was to tired to wash my car after all that so it's kind of dirty but the grill is clean and im happy i did it.

 

for the engine cover you have to used the same thing i used for my grill... engine enamel which is durable upto 500 degrees ... but i dont know.. im making my oscai tomorrow which will only take me 5-10 mins.

 

looks great on your car. smoke the sides now.
