I love the clean sleek '99 look

Looks like you shaved the rear wiper but left the squirter at the top of the rear hatch?

Some not so exciting updates

- I replaced my Blitz Nur Spec exhaust with a Apexi Noir, which is much quieter.

- Have some feed carbon Fiber skirts on order.

- Will be replacing the hose clamps and couplers when I park the car.

- I'm planning on changing the rims next year. Thinking Volk CE28N, ZE40 and the Advan GT racing.

- My OEM 99 spec turn signals, the bulb burnt out and burned the housing. (Will replace with knock offs, can't be bothered to spend on lights that you can't really tell the difference)

Decisions....

Wheels are a personal thing, but your existing rims suit the SSM very nice

Car looks great, very clean and coherent look just how I like em. Side note: In that last pic of your car's side view, above the sky line there looks to be either a MiG-15 or a large predatory bird

Engine bay. The brace has been removed. As mentioned, I will be replacing the ugly couplers with the clamps when I'm not lazy.

I will paint the rear calipers my good man

I only wish he wouldn't take over a year to make them though. How do you like your Prosport gauges? Accurate? I saw it on IG.

I have the Oil Pressure and water temp. Oil P likes turn on whenever it feels like

Didnt realize tbe turn around tbat long. I want to say i got mine fairly quick.

As for the prosport gauges they are ok. Been having weird intermittent issues with my water temp gauge. Been going in and out.

I will prob get speedhunt or defi gauges for the wifes fd if i do gauges.

+1 on the Flyrx7 pod, luckily he had them in stock when I got the tri-pod and later on the quad-pod.

Gauge wise definitely Speedhut over Prosport.

I need some help. I'm looking to replace the single din unit that came with the car to an update single din unit.

I realize pretty much all of them come with Bluetooth, so that's all I really want. And it has to match the amber interior.

Thanks in advance

Love the photo, the car looks really clean ...let me know if you need signal lights, I have a smoke Depo and a black one that will only work with the 99 bulb housings (3 prongs if I remember correctly).
