Enough BS, Fast1one's 1998 A32 Overhauled

It took a while to get this one picture; waiting for parts to come in, scheduling a time around our school schedules to take pictures, etc. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't cooperating so I am not really satisfied with the pictures that I have right now. Here is my favorite of the bunch:



What I did:
  • JIC FLT-TAR VIP Coilovers
  • 1995-96 front end conversion
  • O.Z. Pegasus 3-piece in 17x9 ET+24 wrapped in 225/45 Kumho SPT
  • New O.E. Headlights
  • Removed rear tailight tint
  • Removed Resonator
  • Added Flowmaster classic 40 series
  • Exterior repainted

Special Thanks: Michael (formerly BLACKonBLACK98) of Avant-Garde Auto Group (A32Shop.com) for supplying the coilovers and giving me direction in this build. He pretty much knew what I wanted and gave me suggestions on what to purchase accordingly. This guy knows cars. If you ever need advice, I can forward you his contact information to you and you won't be disappointed with the end result.

More pictures will come (eventually). Cheers!

'95-96 conversion.. why? Like the cleanness of the fog vents or something?

GG on the flushness and the JICs, but I'd have done a tranny swap a long time ago...

I think it fits the old school theme a lot better. Besides, the grill on 97-99 sucks monkey *****.

As far as the tranny, meh. Its my reliable daily. A 5-speed would just get me into trouble

I had minor front end damage (bumper cover fuxored). So it wasn't like I went out of my way for the conversion. It was just the right thing to do

Indeed. Pictures are kinda crappy due to the lighting, so they require some editing before I poast them.

Dig it. I actually prefer the 95-96 front end over the 97-99. Might look even better with the Stillen lip...its not as bulky looking at the 97-99.

Because most people are pansies (IE don't want to do the measuring or roll fenders to fit better wheels) or like Richard said are wheel illiterate (ignorant). Mostly the latter I would imagine...

I don't like any of the lip kits offered for the max. Besides, it would probably be ripped off within a couple weeks with my luck

Because this bumper is smoother and less busy than the newer one. Fits the round shape of the max better
