Ported Intake Box, Downpipe, and Boost and Pre Spool controllers (I make ball and spring ones, PM me if you want some). I cleared out the front turn signals by heating them with a heat gun, opening them up and unscrewing the orange reflector. Took me 30 min. The side markers were bought from pro car parts.

Can you elaborate a little further on the part about cleaning the turn signals? Mine are beginning to look bad... Kinda foggy and dirty on the inside. I dont know how to clean em. I unscrewed one of em once, but the whole assembly comes out. I didnt want to risk making things worse by opening it up. Let me know if there is some way to clean these. Thanks!

You take the whole assembly out, then heat it up and seperate the parts. then you can clear, clean whatever.

Damn that is sweet. Definition of the word clean. What did you pay for labor and painting on the 99 tail? Are you running tinting?

Paint and install was 250 for the wing. Tint is 20 percent. I plan on getting larger wheels, but the 2500 dollar pricetag is holding me back.

I know what you mean. I am drooling over the Spirit-R BBS RG-Rs, or whatever they are, and they are not cheap!

if you don't have a heat gun you can also bake them in the oven. once the glue starts to get soft you can take the assembly apart and take the orange reflector out. you can also buy some polish to polish the lens to make it clearer.

Very nice and clean. Whats with the 4x4 converstion for the back??? hehe j/k You need to get some coilovers. I just installed my Tein FLEX's and am excited to see the car back on the road if this snow will ever melt. I still have a few loose ends to tie up first like new diff, tranny fluid, and a fuel leak!?! Anyway, sweet ride.

nice, looks a lot like my car! did you mess with the suspension to make it look higher or something? it seems to look higher than stock... im not trying to be a smartass, but it really looks like you jacked it up or something. maybe i am just too used to seeing fd's around here dropped to the floor.

Ah there is nothing better then a Silver FD. Wheel gap does look a bit funny though like everyone else said. Besides that its a sweet car.

I agree on the wheel gap, but it is stock suspension. I would switch the spring out for some eibach pro kits, but the car only has 13K miles on it, so It doesnt need shocks and springs, so I will just leave it until it does.

Trying to keep it unmolested as well.

Looks very slick, the silver 7's are very nice.
The wing looks wicked. I agree that some rims would be great on your ride.
