That's my ride, I know there's A LOT of people who hate the way those lights look... that's fine...But I'll be heading back to Japan in October for another 4 years... I'll be sure to please all the hater's and get a proper '99 spec...

I think a coolant seal is failing, so I'm going to crack open the motor and see if that's the case and port it.

I have rebuilt turbos and a ported full nonseq setup to install, I'm going to reseal the oil pan, finish my V mount, REmedy water pump, etc.

smog-guy707!

I really like the idea of putting the 99' Spec Lights in an older bumper.

it would be great to see a company like Shine Auto or JKL Racing take that into consitteration. (To modify the mold so the the 99' turn signals are flush, and slightly inlarge the oil cooler vents)

I like how the vents look in the older bumper, rather than the "happy vampire" look of the 99' with the huge witch nose.

+1 for doing somoething out of the norm.

They look like Meister S1 2-piece to me. If not they are very good knock-offs.

They are Meister S1 2 Piece, you might be confused that their are no rivets but the rivets are on the more expensive model, the s1 3 piece. You can see the work logo on the wheels as well.
