yup, i got the '99 rebar. everything fit perfect and i can actually get to my turn signals without having to take the bumper off.

surgemonster, jason just ziptied it to one of the hard lines on the back of the firewall temporarily. i kinda threw everything together to get it functional. i'll purdify it all here soon

Move the steering wheel over to the right side and you'll be all set.

my body guy just used the gaskets that came with the sidemarkers as a template and used an air saw to trim it out. did a pretty good job.

i wouldn't mind the 99 rims, but i want 18's and i need sumthing wide enough to hold the t78. i've got 245 wide nitto 555r's and it's still a handful sometimes

That looks fantastic. Beautiful.

...but you still need one bright green and one bright purple item to complete the "Playskool" look under the hood.

yeah, the engine bay wa pretty nasty then. i've since then gotten it much better. i've ditched all the old apexi couplers with all blue ones to match the greddy and had an actual single piece of piping made for the cold side of the intercooler. looks much better now. i'll try and get some pics up soon

Very purty, I love the color, its just so subtle, I'm curious how many people that know what an FD is but don't know what a Spirit R is. Good luck finishing the project, kinda motivates me to clean my body up this summer.

All you need are some BBS Mesh rims and it'll look very much like the Spirit-R.

What FMIC do you have? I'm inferring from your other posts that you have the rebar installed as well? Any fitment issues w/ IC?
