Default Finally my project has begun!




Sorry about the iphone pictures. haha a photoshop will soon come. The AP2 rear conversion was such a PAIN! I will never do it again, and cutting the frame made me shed a couple of tears.

And yes, I have some rotas on. My car is a daily, so I don't care. Hopefully getting a set of RPF1s to chrome dip and use it at meets and shows.

Accepting all comments! Negative or positive. Suggestions also accepted.

This is funny because I JUST did the ap2 tails conversion yesterday and my god does it fcking suck! The cutting was cake but the wiring was just ridiculous! Did you cut the harness and wire the ap2 one to it or modify the tabs? Btw looks good, I suggest ap2 exhaust tips or a diferent exhaust if your going that route just my opinion.

Cutting was horrible for me. The wiring was easy. I got the tails from a buddy of mine who already had it wired up, he just cut and gave me the harness so it was just color matching.

And yes I plan on AP2 tips, because I do enjoy the sound of my stock (I have cut off the resanator) but I will swap it out one day if I find me a spoon axleback and a single exhaust cap.

It wasnt just color matching for me, because once we got everything right (matched up the wires) guess what wasnt working once the lights were on? Thats right, the license plate light (almost got a ticket for that in my old car). So we had to dig in down there, split the 3 red wires that were going into one wire and wire them up to the other wires. Does your license plate light work?
