Couple of small projects done with the G, several more on the way, just taking it slow with my daily driver. 2 and a half inch catback exhaust. So far with stock muffler and polished tip. Haven't decided which muffler to go with yet, leaning towards Greddy or Magnaflow, but we will see, any suggestions appreciated. Tinted my fogs yellow, waiting on my matching 3000K hid kit for the fogs, and 6000 for the headlights. Leds in talilights and corner lights. Waiting for blacked out heads, they are being shipped to me along with the HIDS. Sanded down and repainted my rims with a more durable paint. 3 coats instead of two this time and two coats of clear. I think they turned out a lot better. Painted my Calipers and drums red. You can see it in my pics. Anyways, the plan is to get my heads and HIDs put in, pick a muffler to finish off the exhaust, and install the mugen lip in my garage. Hopefully by them I'll get my hands on some old style VR4 skirts. Feel free to criticize and leave advice.

Here are the pics

Nice nice work. I think since you're practically blacking out so much...
I think you should follow up on that with the drums and the calipers
to keep that blacked out look flowing.

I wouldn't do that.. That wont match on a Bodega Beige car.. Maybe a black or red car..

yeah, I've decided not to do the red, I tried it out, and it just doesn't suit my car. I'm thinking about the gutter guard, that might not be a bad idea. Thanx for advice guys

I agree, great start, and I'd paint the drums flat black. The calipers can stay whatever color, but a color close to the cars color would be tits.
