Car looks clean man. I like you suspension setup. If you can find a sedan front bumper lip, side skirts and a rear lip that would look hot too besides the MSP kit.



I'm doing it too, I'm just shooting for a reasonable 240 whp and not 300+.

Thanks man, ya I had every intention of making the car all about AutoX for a long time but it got spendy doing it 2-3times a month at $30/event and having to drive 1.5hrs each way to get up there and back. So I started with suspension stuff first. But now I'm wanting a little more umph to the car the stock 130 crank hp just isnt enough. I think I'm gonna put the power mods on hold for the time being...I really want the MP3 kit for the car and I think it will give the car a bit more character and looks a lot better. Then a bike is next on my agenda of go fast toys lol. The turbo kit can always wait...I really can't afford downtime for my car since its my DD and being in the military I can't just take off 4-5days of work lol.

Anyone think it would look like s*** if I did the BC2 side skirts with MSP rear lip and MP3 front bumper? just thinking...cuz I've already got the BC2 kit, but dont want to mess with the whole fiberglass s*** and it breaking. But I've always loved the MP3 front bumper over the MSP. And I already have a MSP rear lip I bought when I was in Iraq. So all I'd need is the MP3 front bumper.

The BC2 side skirts look good when you get the DG front lip too, otherwise the side skirts will extend noticeably further down than the front bumper by itself.

+1

& ur ass willl look very high in the back. You could always just fit the bumper onto the car, see how good it fits and if you like it, then go from there on what you're gonna do.

Thanks guys, now I just need to find me a MP3/P5 bumper that no one wants lol. I think I may try Dub's suggestion as well on trying the rear bumper to see how it looks...who knows I may actually like it...and it would help me out because my factory bumper has a few nicks in it where my boy rearended me on the highway, nothing major but would be nice to not see it everyday when I walk to my car lol.

Thanks for the support ya'll!

Oh and I agree, I had plans to buy the DG lip even if I used the stock MP3/P5 sideskirts, but I just love how that lip looks...it deffinently adds a nice touch to the bumper and kit.

Keep in mind all of the MSP bumper covers (including mine) are the same as the MP3 bumper. The only difference on the 03.5s is the front lip instead of the fogs.

I have some aftermarkets from autozone installed behind the center grill, but i'd much rather have the stock ones as it makes the front look so much cleaner!

How did you put them in? I have an aftermarket set as well and dont feel like making a mold so they fit where are supposed to go. I suppose they look much better behind the center grill rather than on the sides. How's the visibility?

 

[xDJ DUBx]

i would think you could mount them like how I did, screw them into the reinforcement bar.

 

[Ethiridos]

Do you have pics, mister?

Before:

After:

Hope that helped. lol.

 

[Ethiridos]

Whoa....what kind are they? I think mine are gay. :|

I want bright ones like yours but you have the different bumper, eh?

 

[xDJ DUBx]

I got them off of eBay. They're the "best quality" Autopia fog lights.
I originally got them as a cheap alternative from the OEM fog lights because on the eBay page, they claimed these would fit just like the P5 fog lights do.

Once they arrived, they were 2 inchs in diameter too small so I found a new place to mount them.

Also, in that last pic, I have H.I.D.s installed. muhahaha

 

[xDJ DUBx]

^^They also have 7 color halos

 

[Johnny_boy]

(canada) This is what we have to deal with here. It breaks my heart!

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Damn! Big difference from here...

 

[Ethiridos]

Nice...I think I might have seen those in the AutoBarn site...I have some pilot ones that have dual LEDs...not too cool anymore. They are oval shape. I want something bright as yours...I just don't think mine will match my headlights.
