Outkast, I really love the look of your FD, but in my opinion it would look soooo much better with popups.......

haha thanks guys. Yeah car came over with popups, but I had those lights put on to pass inspection. I thought about putting them back on. With these lights people either love em or hate em. Some people say I should paint them red, but I think they actually look better black.
Ahh yeah maybe I'll put the pop ups back on this weekend hehe

Two more pics from the photoshoot at the base of the Fontana Dam at DGRR07. Props to Phil Sohn/Herblenny for organizing an amazing event, and to Jeremy/PureMdMa for taking the pictures!

Well technically we could have just adjusted the angle of the pop-ups.
Japanese headlights are angled slightly to the left so that they dont blind oncomming cars, just as US headlights are angled slightly to the right. So part of the inspection process involves changing the angle of the headlights. Rather than change the pop-ups, my buddy found the aftermarket headlights cheap so it ended up costing the same either way.
Now if I put my pop-ups back on, the angle might blind oncomming drivers unless I get that fixed

Beautiful car Goodfella! For a second there, I thought you meant Fontana CA, but you're about 3000 miles NE lol. Those Fikse are awesome.
What's up with the tach and the speedo in the second pic? Is it just glare?

Thanks guys .
Racing Brake BBK is next......ask Phil, after repeated 120 to 40 stops, my calipers were literally *smoking*
The Fikses are 17x8.5 and 17x10 with 245/40 and 275/40 BDG G Force KDs, no rolling of fenders. I'd have to call up Fikse with my serial #s to get the offsets.
In the pic of the gauges, that is just glare on them.

Rich, I see your car more often than I see my own! How many pictures of that thing do you have?
I heard his wallpaper is made from all the pictures of his car he's ever taken, and he sleeps with a framed picture of his car under his pillow. I also heard he keeps a picture of his car in his wallet instead of a picture of his g/f.

Charles IV and Dannypoo,
I appreciate the love guys......big Phil Sohn requested that my FD be part of the Deal's Gap photo shoot, I couldnt say 'no' to the guy, could I?
Living in an apartment in Brooklyn (one of the most FD-unfriendly environments in the country) I don't get to see or drive my car much. Soooooo, pics are the next best thing

Here is Rich leading the pack..
I think this is a sweet pic! (thanks to PureMdMa).
By the way, How far back am I to win the picture post ***** award??
And Rich, Are you running Blitz FMIC?? IF so, Can you take a close up ics of it?? I'm thinking about going with that FMIC on my blk FD and wanted to know if I could put the Feed tow hook.
a few updates:
took off the taillight cover and put my 99spec taillights in, looks much better IMO. Sevenlust did an AWESOME job, they came out perfect and he really cleaned up my taillights as well, I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone thinking about doing the conversion.
got the rmagic fender on, I believe it increase the front by an inch or close to it, unfortunately they were painted cardinal red by the previous owner so color match isnt so good.
cut a hole in the door panel and installed the tweeter
and here is the customer rear speaker bracket with the tweeter next to it.
I also have a titanium vielside exhaust that came off a r34, so ill have to do some custom fitting but it should turn out really well, heard one of these on a supra and it sounded AMAZING, one of the best exhausts ive ever heard on an import next to the nsx, it was real deep and throaty, hopefully the exhaust shop wont charge too much to install it.
