Haha, honestly I thought of that, but with the tire sizes being different, I have to run it the way it is.

[slammed91cb7]

those tails look great, and it looks pretty good with the stockers imho

[crazymikey]

Yeah the stockers look decent, but make the car look really plain. Definetly not the wow factor it has with the 18s.

[crazymikey]

Alright, update.

1st gen Legend hood struts.





Bumper running lights




Legend leather grab handles

[Nurega]

I like the unique way you mounted the hood props. I strayed pretty far from the DIY myself when installing them.. Looks good!

[crazymikey]

Thanks. I followed the DIY thread, but wasnt really working with the first gen ones, so I had to use my brain to make it work.

i bet that was hard. lmao

[crazymikey]

Haha. Smelled like burnt toast after.

Some more pics. The trunk is colour matched now, and I had to pull out my seats to swap my buckles and some trim, since I sold them, so I figured since the seats were out, I may as well vacuum and shampoo the carpet.










Better daytime shot with the hood struts

[islandhopper]

Very Nice. It just keeps getting better!

[crazymikey]

Eventually I plan on a full repaint, so that I can repair the quarter panel dogleg damage, and since half the car is already rattle canned, none of my driver side panels match and it really bugs me every time I walk up to the car. Even the new Solaris Silver door I got is darker, because that car was resprayed too.

I am definetly going to stay with the silver and black hood style though.

[slammed91cb7]

looking good my friend

[keepinitclean]

looking good mikey! when are you gonna put back on the 18s? I'm lovin the grab handles, its ridiculously hard to find them in grey!!!

[antonio7566]

Hey mike car has come a long way since the last time I seen her, am so glad you took care of that pinstripe the shit drives me nuts. Car is looking real clean

[crazymikey]

Thanks Antonio. I took the pinstripe off, but I've been having trouble getting the residue off, so it still looks like it's there.

As for the 18s, they're going to cost me a shit load of money for new rubber, so I don't know. I have a feeling I may end up selling or trading them.

I dont want to go sporty with this car, so my goal is to stay with 17 or 18" wheels, but I want a luxurious VIP sort of style wheel, similar to P5Lyance's. These Falkens look just right on it though. I know it's worth the money to buy rubber, but I'm going to go broke doing it.

I've also been contemplating reverting back to a stock exhaust, because the Option Group N1 catback I have is sooo loud and raspy.

Sort of annoyed that I got the dual tip OEM muffler at the wreckers for my neighbour's car, because I'd like to have used it.

For the residue you can try a few thing, paint thinner but only on the oem paint, use cutting polish the type you use to remove scratches, or some thing like a wax and silicon remover. Remember to be careful if you use thinner. Ya big rubber is big money you can try to find a used set, thats how I found mine. Those rims suite your car so well if I were you try to keep them.
