From LX to MSP- my build.

Congrats! Almost there. I know you have slaved away for a very long time.

(usa)
 
i ordered the hood/trunk/prop kit from xcelerated the other day. WEWT.

thanks for checking up on the thread everyone.
 
how did you get the money for all this but could only afford to start with an LX if it has practically become an MSP anyway? You must've landed a great job. Also, no offense but your first mods with your car seemed like it was leaning a bit towards ricey, but it seems you have outgrown it a little bit. I'd lose the lambos, paint the car, and get a smaller exaust pipe but to each is their own. Reguardless of how much I agree with your mods I give you mad props.

well the lambos are gone, shuey33 has them. i got annoyed w/ them. the first mods were going in that direction, hence where it is currently. and i started w/ an lx because the msp wasn't available. i bought the lx BRAND new..like very early..that's all i could afford..of course, it was also 23k after financing and all...but w/e...i do have a decent job now, and it has been a long and tedious process which i hope to be over soon. the exhaust pipe, well it's 3", the muffler is 4" or so... but, it's a performance part. and it sounds pretty good. the 3 " is a necessity for what i'll be running.

thanks for the props.
 
i just installed my dg pillars, new pillars, eyelids, trunk lights, and am currently waiting on the speedo gear/sensor and my awr trailing links, and 2 gt spec parts.

Any pics of the pillars? And I would have to say props for the build man(bowdown). Your like Noah building the arc. Everyone thought he was crazy but they were sorry later on. lol Alot of people might think building up an LX is crazy("why don't you just buy a MSP?"), but I love the idea of building something out of nothing. So props to ya brotha, and good luck on the build.
