Received my CR3 Latchless ADP yesterday!!!

Prepared my car for the install:

Relocated Horns (closer together and a little lower so they don't hit the plate)
Trimmed more off the inside of my grill with the drimmel (to avoid contacting the horns)
Plasti-dipped center radiator support Black
Removed the latch from my hood by drilling out the studs
Painted ADP satin black

 

[CR3 Motorsports]

Came out good. =)

 

[JDM_Pro5]

Sure did. Thanks for the quality part. If I had to buy it again, I would!

 

[Cleverfrog]

what happened to your grill?

 

[JDM_Pro5]

Which part? That thing is hacked to bits

 

[Cleverfrog]

your drivers side tab :O

 

[JDM_Pro5]

It was half broken when I got the car. The car was in a front end collision in it's past. That driver's side headlight tab is broken too. I've tried fixing both and gave up. I have a friend sending me some custom bumper/grill mounting brackets that will attach to the frame and replace the headlight mounting tabs. For the time being, the grill is zip-tied to the frame and the bumper is attached to nothing.

Perks of a car thats been in an accident or an on purpose. Mine's been rolled (boom05)

 

[JDM_Pro5]

I paid for a carfax when buying my car. It's had 6 owners been in a front-end collision, and stolen. First 2 owners put about 20k-30k miles on it each, then it left Cali, made it to Maine, and traveled south being sold dealer to dealer. I'm it's 3rd real owner. I pulled part of a security system out of my engine bay (could have stopped the car), there are holes under the steering column where a security device was. 3 months after I bought it, some trucked merged into my lane at the mall and crumpled my driver-side rear quarter panel

That thing sure has been around. At least its got a caring owner now

You callin' my car a *****!? jk...here is the day I got her.

You can see she had a replacement bumper with no clear on it, and no side markers. 1 of my four wheels was chrome. I've spent just as much money making her normal as I have modding. I had to rebuild the front end and get more body work done. I bet if it got hit again, it would be totaled. I would probably fix it again though lol

Then vs Now

 

[JDM_Pro5]

About to order a set of chrome headlight housings form Circuit so I can paint them for my retrofit. That way, when it's time to take my headlight apart, all I have to do is pain my reflector lens/bowl and assemble. No waiting all day for coats of paint. I plan on using the DupliColor Chrome Blackout kit to tint the housing and projector shrouds that badass gunmetal color

 

[JDM_Pro5]

Chrome housings paid for!

You callin' my car a *****!? jk...here is the day I got her.

Well, she can't help it! It's not like she has the ability to talk... I wish my baby wasn't so issue-prone. But, I'm ranting now

The rims look lovely Can't wait to see installed pics. And the headlights. I just finished dialing in my retro after having it in for a few months. Stupid shroud fell off cause I didn't put it in right- that was my fault...

 

[JDM_Pro5]

In case you missed it, I got the Morimoto Mini-H1 bi-xenon projectors, the Mini Gatling Shroud, and 4300 H1 Bulbs. I've already painted my cutoff shield Midnight blue to give the projectors a Blue appearance.

The plan is to make a gunmetal housing and a satin black reflector bowl/lens for the low beam. High beam will remain untouched for now. I'm using my existing ballasts from my DDM setup.
