you know. if you took it out and made a very nice straight cut along that bad edge, and you did it across the whole "section" thats open to the trunk it wouldnt look as bad, probably would look fine actually.

My big steaming pile of stuff....keeps growing. Damn spring, hurry up.


17x8.25 XXR wheels
Stance GR+ coil overs
OEM Leather steering wheel
DEPO Gen4 projectors
8000k HID's (I hate them, i want 6000k)
Black leather Corbeau Sport Seats (I already have a leather back seat)

Not pictured: OEM Leather Shift knob
K&N Typhoon SRI
custom made sedan LED Skyline tails

the seats, a little dusty but look great.


I can not wait to get this stuff on the car, I'll probably put everything but the rims and coils on this week. I'm really excited about the tail lights though, I've been working on them to get them just right, and they are almost done.

did you take any step by step pictures of the tail lights? Not as a how-to, but just so that we can see what you and the lights went through!

No, but I wish I did.
I had a very limited (oven) time to get them done with the holidays in full effect. But it was super easy so I'll probably do a write up on it using some other known techniques and just describing the parts i had to make. Or in a few weeks We're making a new set for a friend and just do a step-by-step how to then.

It consists of an LED ring (obviously) that would be the actual taillight, while the oem bulb would only be for brake lights, and the white reverse light is the new blinker. The actual reverse light is relocated using a $14 led strip from autozone mounted at the very top inside the license plate bezel. You can't see it at all until i back up.

As for the seats I scored them last year for another project, so I got lucky. The black leather with adjustable lumbar seats like this retail for like $1500+. But got them both on eBay for $350.

Got my first kill today, an older grand prix that was trying to toy with me. I pulled onto the freeway after he revved at me and he tired to pull around and pass when we were still on the ramp. I let him get next to me then took off, I had at least 4 cars on him by 110

well after asking a bunch of friends if they had a right angle drill for me to put my powell tow hook on i decided today to just take my front bumper off to drill the holes. it took about an hour to get off and now it's just sitting until my dad gets home from work any minute to help me with his work drill and metal bits.... update and hopefully pics soon!

i have AVS on my 2 door, they look ok with my black and silver theme but now i believe weathertech makes an in-channel set that should look much cleaner.

with the way the bumper sits you can't get a regular drill in there to do the holes, i asked around for a right angle drill which one of my buddies had but it was still too big to be able to fit in the gap between the cross- member and the bottom inside of the bumper. i was home all day and figured that was my only option to do the holes without messing up the bumper, there's not much space in there by the cross- member to even tighten the bolts down then

well it was actually easier than i thought it was going to be, there was 1 bolt on each side that was a PITA but that was it... here's a quick pic of the backside where it's mounted so you can see how tight it is under there to get to
