I'm jelous, they're badass One question: are the Efini emblems (front/rear) double sided taped or do they have to be fastened to the bumper covers via prongs/holes? Car looks great man.

EDIT: jelous = jealous. also, what exhasut are you running?

Prongs plus glue.

The emblems come with prongs, I also used double-sided tape as opposed to glue because that's what the guy who did the paint job recommended.

Thanks btw and I have a Racing Beat Dual tip (that happens to be dirty atm)

The car is painted Seal Grey Metallic, found it here: http://www.porsche.com/usa/models/ca...rconfigurator/

These are real ones, found on ebay, guy was nice, had good price and pretty fast shipping IMO coming from Japan. No offense FDNewbie, you are a great guy and sell great stuff, just couldn't pass up the price on this set.

My aquafina fridge kicks ***! It was a gift from my father-in-law who had one as well and I used to beg him for one! Serves as a great beer fridge or anything else, I ususally have it stocked but it's kinda empty atm.

Thanks for the props guys, I am (cross my fingers) almost done with my mods...

My wheels (well 3 of them) came in on 12/24 and the other is due in tomorrow... If it comes in early enough I'll get them on and take some more pics.

Other than that all I am going to do anythime soon is get my windows tinted and maybe a sleek headlight kit.

Happy to be closing in on complete FD (I know as soon as I write this that could change).


Thanks again for the compliments.

Just to even out all the nice compliments, I have to say that your '99 lights, the color of your car and, in fact, your car suck, dude!!! What do you think we're going to say? Of course they're cool. The grey looks more like the Farrari grey though. Real cool...

BTW, check mine out http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2169275

Initially I only read the first half of your comment. I was about to whip out the flame-thrower

haha, I have the same problem with mine. When I did the conversion I didn't think to wipe down the inside before I put them back together and it had gotten a little dirty. You have to look to see it, but it does bug me.

Very nice. I got the same lights for mine...and i love 'em.

Where'd you get the clear bumper lights? I've been keeping my eye out, but haven't found any yet.

Thanks.

I bought them off ebay. I put them on the 4 corners and reverse lights.

I have been toying with the idea of painting them with the smoke paint I see on the net. Reason is I have the RX7.com front clear bumper lights that have a smoked appearance. Wonder if anyone has used the smoke paint?

I think it would look nice especially on the rear since the tailights have a smoked appearance as well.

Hey man, I want those seats. I like the yellow accented seats with your grey exterior. It would not work on my car, but where did you get your seats?

I got rid of them, IMO didn't work well with car.

They came from Katskinz, I replaced with Black and grey katskinz
