Clermont FD projecto coming along
As some of you many know.... I got into the minor accident which caused about 2 grand in front-end and some suspension damage. Insurance hooked me up with 5k. I went with a 99 front end (fog lights too) and alot of goodies including koyo rad, ebay smic, greddy type s, f & r mudguards, rear diffuser (missing), some exterior moldings that were bad, stabalizer bar, r1 wing, oil catch can and some more stuff. I kind of work alot so Aleem (trini) and I havnt had much time to work on it and its been pretty cold lately. I dont have a dd so my gf has been my taxi lately but its kind of nice not spending 40 a week on gas. Anyways I was bored and I thought I would be kind to share some pics of the process. Were a little backed-up on progress due to the intercooler shroud/duct delay so we cant do much untill that comes in since we will have to be doing some intercooler pipe cutting and such to get the itnercooler to fit properly. However aleem did some custom brackets to move the condenser down a good 3 inches so it gives the duct and intercooler more room. Ill shut up now... STAY TUNED PICS COMING SOON!

lol... cold.... you're funny. It was in the teens just the other day. Cold???
hey Manny, I saw in your pics you got your 99 spec front end... so when you order it, it comes in basic gray urethane color right? unless it was painted already, but I doubt it. So who did you have paint it? Did they do a good job? I always get worried they won't be able to match the existing paint on the car...

And so is power steering! lol
