Wink The Captain's Attack - 2nd wave

Harro boys and girls. Twas a busy day at the Gearheads Garage yesterday. 3 different installations took place. Most importantly, I have pictures to share, lots of pictures .

1st Install - Momo Corse Steering Wheel w/ HKB Steering Hub (with SRS Light bypass)
Installation performed by: Captain Gay Cat herself (w/ the help of me, only on the "yanking the crap outta the stock wheel" part)


The Captain removing the torx bolts and plugs to the airbag.


Off comes the 5000lbs SRS unit, now its all race kaa like.


Here comes the tricky part, the Captain attempts to remove the stock wheel from the car. But "Man-Power" was needed, so I had to jump in and yank it out for her (unfortunately, you won't be seeing a picture of me flexing my mus-cles, since I am the camera man and I needed both hands for the job )


All stock shiez are out of the way, leaving the plugs hanging around, with horn extension wire and SRS bypass resistor plugged in.


HKB Steering Hub and Momo Corse Steering Wheel installed, done!


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2nd Install - Spoon Strut Tower Bar
Installation Performed by: Once again the Captain herself


This one is very straight forward, off comes strut tower nuts, on goes the bar. Here shoes the Spoon STB still wrapped up in its Super JDM Lightweight Bulletproof Anti-Radiation Protective Film from Hell.


Captain Gay Cat turning wrenches


Unwrapped, and shine to teh max


Spoon Logo = Bling factor


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And here comes the final and most exciting (and time consuming) event of the evening.....

3rd Install - SEIBON Carbon Fiber Vented Wide Fenders If you guys are wondering, the doors will be installed later on in Spring, I don't want to mess with all the window/locks stuff, so I will let the bodyshop take care of that part.
[b]Installation performed by - Me and the Truong Man (by this time The Captain got tired and has retired to the couch and TV, but came back to supervise the fitting and installation part.)

The "Before" shot


Off comes the front bumper


Off comes the fender, now Rocky is nekkid.


Test fit - Passenger side fender goes on


Check for gap between hood and fender. Adjustments will have to be made.


Side / Rear view


Cheeseburger Ed "measures" the width of the fenders


Both sides fenders on, ready to tighten everything down


CCV - Cool Cat View


Cheeseburger Ed doing the "Gearheads Face"


Finished Product


Review - We thought fitment on the fenders were not quite up to expectations in the beginning. But with minor modifications and adjustments, we managed to get the SEIBON fenders fitting pretty nicely. We will do a photoshoot on it once it gets nicer out.

Thank you for viewing.

Justin @ Gearheads

Im pretty surprised they even fit at all. My friend has em in florida and we had to do so much work to even get them to fall in place. And even then you still have to do LOTS of body molding and tons of spacers to even get em aligned. I think you bought the only good pair ;p

How much did you pay here if i may ask? I know in the states its like 650-700

LOL, next time let me know. I have a steering wheel puller. = )

Those CF fenders are sexy. If you paint them, I might have to come over and kick you in the nuts. =P

Sorry the wing is at the warehouse still and I don't have any pics of it. But it looks exactly the same as the CF version, except not CF, it comes in black (not painted).
