That's pretty hot...what fogs are those you have nestled in the MSP splitter? I like that look...a lot!
 
Those must be the newest design I see they grew a brain and put the end link tab on the lower housing. But yeah everything is there the original kit came with these black brackets that were meant to hold the brake lines...something else that should be on the lower housing instead
 
No doubt! That looks hella good! (2thumbs)

What suspension setup are you using? Springs? With 17s?

They look bigger than 17's, but it could just be the style..

It looks really good dude.
 
^^^Nice...looking good...so my DG CF grill came in today...it is on...looking good...I should have some pics of it sooner or later...I need to get some up...getting someone to come over and help me install the Focal components/Alpine PDX-5/Pioneer Headunit on Monday...sub/false floor will have to wait...
 
Somebody is ballin' with some Focals. Yep that's ^you^.
I hope to look at my car today then drive it home from work. Nothing wrong with it just want to drive home. OOOOoo I just saw a red P5. Yeah!!!!!
 
Bought the Meguiars Headlight Restoration kit this morning and cleaned up the headlights this afternoon. What a difference! Of course there are still some pits and you can still see some haze when the lights are turned on. I'll do the process again but think some of it may be from the when the original owner painted them black. If so they go in the oven for the third time. lol

Here are some before and after pics:

As soon as the rain stops I plan on putting a coat of wax on them. After that I may just do them in the fall and spring?
 
Spent a good six hours pulling parts off/out of the car. I've got two more wheels to replace, I've got to plug one O2 sensor bung and reinstall the stock seats and hopefully she'll start right up. I removed 3 of the 5 gauges and the Split Second AFC so I'm just hoping I didn't screw anything up in the process - lots of soldering. It'll be interesting without the wideband...
 
First picture update in MONTHS...hopefully you guys will like it...just a few shots of what I have done...still a good bit more, but still not finished with fixing...getting there though...so figured I would roll it around and take a few pics for you guys...

dude.. great pics.. it's really coming along.. glad to see it. i think the mirrors would look great if they were the same color as the body. and the wheels are tight. the no lip+ fog deletes and the grille is tight. keep it up!(breakn)

Thanks very much...I actually have the DG CF mirror covers on, but underneath they are yellow...as for the deletes, I really didn't like the foglight look, and actually have a Speed lip waiting to get painted as well as one of those JDP CF splitters that I am waiting for...I just don't know when I am going to get the lip painted...it will be more urgent once the CF splitter gets here...
 
i'm gettin a dg lip.. i'm prolly just gonna order a can of spray paint from paintscratch.com couple people used it and it worked really well.. maybe you could give it a try.. pretty cheap!

keep er goin!
 
Yea...only problem with that is that the yellow is so faded that it is hard to match good...when the car was in the body shop after I wrecked it, they had to paint it three times...I guess I could try to see how close it would be though...

yeah.. for 25.00 it might be worth it...

That Ebrake handle is very nice...where did you find it? Did you have to do any modifications to get it to fit? I only see a Miata application.

I bought it from TreFlip on here as a big group of items (some of which I got scammed from and never received)...it was just the universal handle, but the adaptor on the end IIRC was the piece that you have to get for the Protege or something like that...pretty much just pull hard on the stock ebrake surround and it will come off and then this one went on over it...I also have the Momo boot that came with it...it was very easy to install though and the size of it is perfect...feels so much better than the little stock one...
