not bad, though i can't see much

take more pics!!!!

and you may want add the fogs in your list of exterior mods

curious, why'd you choose to do the 5th gen oem lip?

[aero]

Well, I have a friend with a 5th gen, and we were putting a kit on it, and he was gonna throw away the lip....so I figured, why not try and fit it on. I was gonna try to fiberglass a Greddy look-a-like, but didnt have time, so just left it stock.

Im prolly going to just have to get a throw away camera to get some pics since a digi isnt in the budget right now, but I'll get some to replace that one soon.

[uncle_el]

sounds good to me. i was just curious. good thing to not let things go to waste- good for the environment, and in your case good for the ride!

as far as getting digital pics, i don't have a camera either, i just borrow one from a friend. no worries.

[aero]

Well, I got some pics on a throw away camera yesterday...so gotta finish off the roll, and I'll have some new ones. I got my vinyl for the doors today, and am starting to cut that out so I can get that done soon.

[brown91coupe]

did you get any new pics up yet?

[aero]

still waiting.. wish i had a camera though to take pics of the interior before and after.

Interior Pics

Heres some pics...

Doors, I found out that the spray adhesive aint the greatest for permenant things, so thats why it is a bit wavy around the edges... but they are the rear doors... So it doesnt really matter to me.

As you can see, I only need the front doors, and dash. That will most likely be done over xmas vacation when I can work on it and have an extra car to drive.

I am also going to do a little more custom fiberglass to the center consol area, and may put a guage pod on the dash like the WRX's.

[uncle_el]

good job w the leather seats! match the current interior pretty well. waiting to see it all come together with the new door panels.

[aero]

As you may have seen in another post on the forum.. I was in an accident, and i am putting it back together.

LOL, for anyone that wanted to see my hoodlocks... there they are







Putting it together so i can just limp it back to Florida, and then will have to re-weld the radiator support.

when i get a new bumper, im going to get a 92-93 stock since they look better imo. I will prolly get a greddy lip for it also.

Prolly end up throwing on a CF hood when I get the money. And might end up doing a new paintjob for all the new parts. We will see.

I am planning on getting ecode headlights(what usc has) so i can do HID in the future.

[aero]

Well, this is what it looks like now. Ill get more pics later. Took a few days of work(did it all myself) and its back up to running condition.





As you can tell, thats the old hood. Only new parts are the rad, pass. headlight assy, hood latch, and cross support that the hood latch is on. Got the ghetto grill for now, and looking for a cheap cf hood so i dont have to worry about any more dents. So far its only been about 300 dollars, so its not as bad as i thought initially. I didnt end up getting the ecode headlights cuz still havent heard back about them...maybe i should check my pm's. But I am happy to have her back up and running. (It drove fine from MI to FL w/2 towstraps across the hood.)

[uncle_el]

looks like good diy work... $300 compared to what you could have spent. i hope you end up gettting a c/f hood, as i think they look great on our cars.

[Trites]

OEM 5th gen lips own. good choice

[aero]

I got hit again, person did not yield, and they scratched up my rear bumper on the side... needs some new paint. This month just isnt my month. ...

Plans are to keep going with it. I am trying to finish up the leather interior project. Then I am going to get a 92-93 bumper with a greddy lip(lip will be reinforced w/fiberglass, and a splitter on the bottom so it can hopefully survive for a while on these nice streets. A VIS CF hood sometime before the bumper since obviously i need the hood a little more.
My hope is to also install a sunroof off of an ex/se... because I love them(brother has a stock silver 91 se w/black leather, and its awesome w/the sunroof.) Yeah, everyone says they will leak, but im willing to take the chances.

Then, hopefully a new paintjob again...maaco paint just is so ugly a few months after, its not holding up all that bad, the metallic stuff just is too ugly for me now. Ill keep up to date with pictures and plans since i got a digi for xmas.
