Looks good! Glad to see the tails holding up on the G, and looks rugged with the bare steelies.

Ever thought about color matching the split grilles?

If you want to rid the inner fins, I'd use mesh from the back to have a more OEM look. The grille piece I'd still color match, but make the mesh black or dark silver.

Old style tails on silver is a win. :D

What wheels are you going with? I know Mustang wheels can be had for decent prices, a nice project to keep you busy during the winter. The 98 Cobra wheels I have are 17x8, +30 offset, got them for $100. They just need some TLC, nothing I can't tackle.

Man really like what you did with the door panels. I also noticed you said replace bubbled fogs? Looks like you smoked them, and if so I take it you used vinyl since you mentioned bubbled? Just a suggestion, but maybe give Duplicolor Metalcast paint a try. I think they have a color in the line up that gives a smoke appearance. All I know is I used their yellow for my fogs, and I'm highly impressed how well it has held up. Especially since the fogs are directly exposed to rocks and gravels. I mean I used rc car paint to smoke the corner lights on my old s14, and it chipped off, and obviously corner lights sit higher than fogs! Lol. All I did was clean the fogs with invisible glass window cleaner and spray. Then I just left the fogs on for a few mins after reinstalling them, to kinda help bake the paint on.

I tinted them with tail light tint and all the heat from the aftermarket bulbs caused the lens to bubble im going to replace them with
A) projector fogs
B) Glass lens fog
C) Some sort of retrofitted fogs dunno how ima build this if i choose to go this route

I haven't chosen yet Ive been looking at getting the the new eclipse rims and plasti dipping them black or mustang wheels black with a silver lip. im trying to wait till i drop the car first

Nice thing about most newer Mustang wheels, they have aggressive offsets, and aren't that heavy. Most Mustang owners will sell their OEM wheels for a good price.

12-15-2011, 07:29 PM

I rolled my fender because of my future plans (plus my 20s.. rubbed) but like what is the highest and lowest offset you can go with with like a 8.5 wide rim

o yea i know it was the heat but since i layed to thick of a layer of tint it cause it to get hotter then what it was running without the tint. they where fine before i tinted them but like the next day after i did it i looked at them and saw them bubbled either way i was going to replace them tho

So you have no mids only highs in the back?

No to your question. But im going to install some more mids in the back seat doors sooner or later. either way i dont really ride people in the back seat seeing as im 6'3 theres no room. i sat back after i tuned my amps it wasnt all that harsh. but in the front everything blends perfect

Pretty much everything is black and gray already ill eventually get my seats reupholstered and do the upper dash one day till then SEAT COVERS ftw.

for now im going to save up for my timming belt then a better alarm system and that well most likely be the first two things i take my car to a shop for

After those two things LOWERING SPRINGS, side mirrors and JDM Tail Lights and i think thatll be it for a while

Sounds like a plan.

Also, I'm busy lurking for either a set of LHD folding mirrors off an EDM Galant, or the Mirage mirror swap. I could work out a deal with ya for my current mirrors. :)
