Rico's build thread.

It's because there is no side marker light. Other than the legality or not of that, or better yet, how much you might be hassled for it by cops/inspection people, I think it looks cool that way because it's so different.

Can't say for sure what it is, but that's not it. See below.

If they don't know the car...they don't notice it's missing. I have zero side lights. 02 model doesn't have one on the fender, My MSP bumper doesn't have one since theirs was in the headlights.
It's clean as **** though
 
Moldings removed

Got a good deal in some coils sleeves will b getting them this week .

Later on I'll be getting some bc's coilovers
 
Damn, I need a car from Texas. All the fasteners and pieces of metal were rusting in my car where yours still have that 'fresh out the factory' yellow hue to them. (i.e. your coolant reserve stand is a great example)
 
so picked up harness for my fogs and also a good driver side panel to replace my cracked ol looking ones along with some Front tweeters.. and a set of cam gears and my powdercoated valved cover

Cool, didn't know the Optima would work with oem restraint. Like all the yellow caps and dipstick. gonna look good with the red vc. Gonna sharpie the letters black? Horns go good with what's goin on there and the CAI kinda makes me wanna get my bigbox of intake s*** down outta the attic and do the cai instead of the sri since I don't have to drive car in bad weather anymore. Ready to see comprehensive fotoshoot of all the goods once done.
