Paint them too, while you're at it. Can you smoke the reflectors? That's hot.

Scored a 3g eclipse strut tower brace (oem) from junkyard. Hit me for 17 and some change plus had to pay admission from the other day cause didn't have my socket set to get it off. I was gonna have to come back anyway today, since I forgot my credit card at the entrance smh. So really was 19 and some change. In pretty good shape for a metal part that gets rained on everytime due to the missing hood on the donor car lol.

valley8g, I hate to be an idea thief, but I may have to cut my nose off too, that looks hawt!
I know about the grille, I remember when you posted a while back with the USDM heads... Im saying the style of the grille works well with the heads and bumper. I'd put a Mitsu emblem in the middle and roll with it.Quote:

If I didnt sell it, and I could fit a 3 inch intercooler behind it, I would rock the 8gb front bumper, with a lip.Quote:

Really would like to paint or powdercoat at some point, but not today lol. Things feel a little tighter but couldn't really push it cause its wet outside. I feel like it will go well with the springs I have to put on and the struts I'm thinking of getting down the road.
I know, I was just being a lazy ass. lolQuote:

lol.... thats it for now. Pics will be posted tomarrow.
its a dolphin bumper lol. its the only front bumper he makes
finally fixed my wipers!!!
Emerson is right, but doesnt cali make the other jdm bumpers too?
just incase anybody is wondering... if you get a oil sandwich adapter i would recommend using the evo oil filter for better clearance. i tried the stock sized filter and since my car is dropped so low it was a little dangerous. it sticks down passed the cross member and oil pan.
here is a comparison picture
