My MSP 3.5 Conversion(NEW PICS)

Hey everyone,
Well Im kind of a new member, my name is Ejay , im 19 years old, from Barbados and i am a proud owner of a 2001 RHD familia Dx. Always dreamed of converting my baby and making it look sexy like some the cars iv seen here but dreams are now becoming a reality . Im still in school so my cash flow is mostly during semester breaks when I get to work so thats why it took so long for dreams to come through . Anyways onto the writeup:

Car : 2001 Familia Dx (JDM RHD model)
Colour : Sunlight Silver

Current stuff Installed:
-Helios 8000k hid kit
-CS eyelids
--Hp racing 17inch rims
-Espelir Springs
-Altezza back lights


Stuff acquired for conversion( some stuff still on shipping vessel to Barbados):
-right and left splash Guard
-Bumper cover and enforcement
-side skirts
-3.5 front and rear lip
-Delete covers

Things needed:

Looks good, I think that will fit better on a P5 or MP3 front.

I will be using a bumper from a msp so i guess it will be the same.

Yeah, that piece that you have in your pictures is designed to fit in the P5 front. I was just trying to prevent you from having weeks of fabrication just for it to look correct.

Can't wait to see the final..

Haha, I just noticed that!

Good luck with the project man, I'm sure you'll get a lot of attention zoom zoomin' around the island in that.

Yup I forget to mention, I will be the FIRST person on the island to do this conversion and I will be the only 3.5 msp(well lookalike) in the island. There is a 03 msp but no 3.5.


Know you guys like jdm so here is a little pic or it to wet your taste buds:
