Morimoto Mini H1 retro complete! Need to clean up all the colors on the front end too. Will be swapping the high beams for clear HIR bulbs (bright as s***) and getting the supertone grills PC'ed silver.

Thanks Rico. I am kind of not happy with the fitment of the new lenses I got (off of eBay sedan headlights). I might switch back to my OEM lenses and get them re-polished and new clearbra put on...
 
either way sexy. ill send my sedan lights over so u can do that to mines once i get them lmao
 
Our 3 has the same damage plus a broken lower grille. Best part is that the shop doing the work is going to fill the license plate holder holes. In Ohio we are supposed to have a front plate, screw that crap. Until we actually get a ticket there will not be a front plate on the car.
 
Rec'd the new projectors for rebuilding Callie's lights

Using E46 bixenon projectors this go around.

They're not the widest projector but they do have GREAT depth (plus i have blazer fogs that provide width if needed)

Removed the SSAFC and Partially wired up the microtech lt8s. Just gotta pick up more wire to finish up the install. All that's left is the injectors, crank sensor and cam sensor. Lol at the instructions. Lots of typos but better than nothing. Just had to double check with the cheat sheet in the back.
 
^ almost there


Today just drove it and well got a nail out of a tire :/ and got it fixed

Very nice! Did it yourself? Don't worry about the foreground, fogs will fill that.
 
added a protege5 shorty antenna and a new stereo to the mix. surprisingly made the stock speakers sound a hell of a lot better. still want better ones though..... and a sub...
 
Who wants to take a stab at guessing my next investment?

I'll give you a hint: Starts with "T" and rhymes with "LIARS"... which, ironically, is what the dealer was who told me the tires were in excellent condition.

Took her into Walmart to get a flat repair to fix the slow leak and the guy told me these tires had dry-rot on the inner walls. Next time, I'll check before I sing the papers. Lesson learned.
 
They're 18x8 +50 (RX-8 rims).

I too have the same wheels in my P5...tires I have are 215/35/18 Falkens....asked my mechanic at my local dealership abt it too. His reply, that I can go 225/35/18. You can probably go 225/40/18...not sure if 45 series will clear the rear struts where the springs sit.
