Can't wait to for the ap2 headlights to go on the car, it's definitely gonna look a lot better. have you considered the ap2 taillights also? what i would of probably done definitely was cut the front grill the way spankee and webestore has it.
You cant really tell from the pics but the 2 center bars are painted flat black.The whole center opening is actually.I figured if I woulda got them cut out the radiator would show too much.I will be getting black mesh on the side vents.I will cut the center bars tho when its time to put a nice big intercooler upfront


I heard it was hard to switch to AP2 tails?Anyone have any info on this???

its harder than a normal tail swap.

you need to take the ap2 gasket, line it up. .and draw out where you need to cut. .then you need to cut and bolt it on

Alright I finally got the car out the bodyshop.GP Sports all around now.Here's a couple of pics I took real quick.Unfortunately 1 of the advans had an accident ,SO most of the pics are with the stocks.The color is called giverny green metallic but I call it JDM green. Still need to put my carbon fiber hood on,the edges are painted to match.

RIP my old NFR paint,here goes.....







The jdm side markers & some cleared ap2 headlights are on my list.I like the stocks but im into car shows and the stocks wont cut it.I lovee the ver.2's I dont think anyone else here in houston has them.I know there is another set in Dallas.That last pic withthe new paint just doesnt do them any justice.

Heres an pic of the wheels on when the car was still red...

Awesome bro. I really like that color. I love GP Sports too.

yeah i want 18x8+48 18x10+45 BUTTT the 18x10 only come WHT pad (double high) which means the front lip and back lip will be exactly the same, if the 18x10 had the LO pad like front itd be like 3" more lip meaning like 7"..makes me mad.. i cant justify the price of advan considering ill only have 3" lip all around. :-(

I like riding slammed so I kept the width in check.
18x7.5 front +46
18x8 rear +48

If you ever wanna work out some type of deal LMK. I'll keep my fingers crossed.I cant look at your pics cause it makes me wanna sell my wheels & wait for you to sell another set of yours.I wanna be deep lippin too.
