Talking New Mods! lots of pics

The weather still sucks up here in Washington so I stayed in the garage and modded.





Fog lights in FTP lens. Pivot Sleepy Eye controller and blacked out front and side marker lights. Don't mind the cracking




Switches for Fogs and Halos






Custom ipod adapter in center console






Silver faced reverse glow gauges and CF gauge bezel






Custom mounted Sirius Sportster 4 mounted in ash tray location

Nice iPod adapdter. I'm diggin that shift ****. Is that an actual 8 Ball drilled and tapped for the shifter so it actually has the weight of a real 8 ball or is it a store bought "8-ball shifter"?

Did you get those guages from Corksport?

The gauges came off ebay, and I've never seen them in red. The shift ****, I got from a friend and it was all I had after I put in the short shifter but I love it. It is an actual pool ball drilled. I have no idea where it came from.

They work pretty good. They aren't the JDM FTP upgrade; I cut the back of the USDM lens out and mounted my own fogs behind them. The light they produce is pretty much eclipsed by the H4 Sylvania Silverstar upgraded headlights, but they must do something because I get high beamed at night when the FTPs and headlights are on at the same time.

I don't have a picture of the light pattern, but with the headlights off there is still a lot of light... If that answers your question. The yellow is great. I have modified my stock fogs to yellow and they work great and get a lot of compliments.

Now start modding that engine bay. Your first mod should be to remove that NA engine and put something in there with a nice big snail hanging off of it.

Lights are cheap, motors are not. The car does need a lot of help in that department. Anybody want to donate a TII to a good cause?
