    So today I went out to my buddy's place and did some cutting... I practiced on a few pieces of metal until i got the hang of it.

    I was using the dremel cutting wheel that came in the box... what a piece of shit lol... I went out and bought some reinforced wheels, they worked like a charm....



    we measured like 9 times... taped it all up (got the idea from Galante) and traced it out with a light cutting wheel



    then i moved in for the heavy cut with some reinforce cut-offs... I cut out a rough square about half a centimeter in off the outline (which i scratched in with a knife)
    I look a bit too excited..



    After that, all tape was removed and i used a grinding disk to make the rounds... When that failed completely, I went out and bought some grinding stones.. which sucked REALLY bad lol.



    this is the aftermath of the stone...



    Either way.. after a bit of fighting I finished it...





    For those who want to do this...

    It is very easy, time consuming, and completely worth it.

    But save your time and money and go straight for Reinforced Cutting Wheels, and diamond tipped grinding stones... which Im' getting tomorrow. I'll post pics one i get them.

    very nice. When I look at your guys' JDM side markers, I wish I spent the money and did the same to mine.

    I'd rather have the knowledge and ability to do it than the money to buy it already done.

    i hate grinding wheels. they wear down much to fast. and if you run it at too high of an RPM, the metal will stick to the wheel when it cools.

    I know... it's such a bitch, but today i picked up a set of 4 diamond tip grinders... that should do the trick lol




    and for those who plan on ordering the side markers from japan... the USDM OUTLANDER has the same exact clear markers with matching connectors.

    I found that out today cause i went to the dealer and they gave them Jap part num for the connectors, and they came up as usdm outlander light assy

    and I paid only 5 something for each plug :)

    I received my rear disks from MKO today :)



    I'm not taking pics of the install because well... theres a perfectly good tutorial out there which Im' following all the way lol...

    http://www.galanttuners.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=37

    I'll post again when it's done. I might not paint the calipers just yet.. i'll do so when i upgrade to r1 concept rotors, that way i'll remove everything at once... I don't feel like doing it now.

    You'll love all wheels discs brake when you these installed! You get additional braking power plus it looks so much better than drums. Get the R1 slotted rotors and pads.

    I think I'm going for a drop next. I hear coil overs are the way to go, although the ride quality is shit. I've also heard of some nice strut/shock and spring combination...

    My may goal is to get a nice decent drop and have better performance without loosing too much ride comfort.

    I wanna lean more towards coils... any suggestion?

    I've heard of a few... d2, ksport ,tien...

    oh and galante, I followed your advice about the rotors, I decided that getting 2 rears from Canadian tire would cost me about 160 plus tax, but the r1 front and back with pads will cost me about 260 USD shipped lol... about 300 CAD so it makes sense lol I'm going to pay him on monday i should have them on hopefully mid next week.
