Find a Euro license plate bracket (good luck, haha), find some s5 vert taillights and then modernize them.

I suppose I'll have to tint my driver's side reverse light red to REALLY get the euro-taillight thing going...

what kind of bulbs are you using for your fogs?
and also I was hoping I could beat you to the Version 4 conversion haha, couldn't find the rims but I do have all the bronze glass pieces haha! (cept my car has a sun roof...oh well)
and I guess you also prove the saying! once you go black you don't go back haha

Damn bro, that car is spot on perfect! I must say tho, if you had some JDM window visors... OH MAN! haha. Seriously looking good tho man. It's nice to see some clean cars like that.
BTW, what bulbs are you running in your ftp's? I have tried several and haven't gotten them to shine that bright.

I *might* have snapped a few right when I picked it up... The problem is that I never intended to keep this car, so the idea of recording/documenting a 'before and after' for my personal enjoyment never really made sense. Of course NOW I wish I had some before pictures.
From day I found it ...
Stay tunned for the TEAM n/a Shoot soon to come.
Cheers

PS, to the dude who asked about the Infini wheels--I got them shipped from Japan via 87GTR (member). Let's just say I got a pretty good deal.
Expect to pay around $600-800 plus shipping? They're really rare though, so it's hard to put a price on them.
