    Put the lights in the bumper... They just don't look right. My opinion though.

    Put a brighter bulb, like your headlights in the newer fogs. Then wire them up so you can have JUST the fogs come on as DRLs. That'd be bitchin.

    could always put some 8000k-12000k bulbs in your headlights for show and use the lights behind your grill as your real headlights when no ones looking

    what do you guys think of this, Obviously they arent jdm but they look cool plus i plan to put a similar mesh on the bottom part of the bumper

    and for future reference I dont plan on doing a jdm front end anytime soon. I actually like the 8gb front

    Hum would be a little project for you... Cut your fines out in your original grill buy some paint or have them paint it for you theyll do it for a little extra if you read the ad. Then adhere it to your grill on the back side. there you have it just like you wanted

    ...I like it..lol, Im just trying to think of the best way to cut the fins out and then adhere the mesh, paint is easy, im quite good at it.

    Ok, so Im looking for some advice on where to go with my motor. I cant decide weather I want to do a DOHC swap and go to a 4g63 head or weather i wanna keep the SOHC and just go to a 272 cam and a new cam gear along with a header and an intake. Any advice on this is greatly appreciated.

    UPDATE!
    Ok so finally got some new rubber on the g.

    Picked these tires up at an amazing $260 wholesale and had them mounted, balanced and had an alignment for another $120. They are Haidas (Some Chinese brand, hopefully no problems). Same size as before 225/40/18 on a 7.5 inch wide rim. They sit really nice for even for the stock ride height. That will change hopefully next week when I will be ordering some Megan springs. Keep posted for that




    On another note. Im having a bit of an issue that I cant put my finger on.
    Prior to getting these tires my car would sort of shake at anything above 70 mph. Now i thought it was the tires, which were very worn, I mean VERY worn. So when I installed these i thought for sure that with a complete balance and alignment, everything would be good. Sure enough, on the way down the turnpike back home, at about 80 mph the steering wheel sort of started shaking and rumbling. It wasn't too strong but enough to annoy me. Any ideas? Like i said all the balancing and alignment was done. Also I do have a slightly bent wheel as you can see in the picture, could this be causing problems?

    Well I have had bad mounts for some time now. Can they effect the way the car rides like that?

    Horrible Idea

    And About fogs the 2500k yellows are a great choice, halogen performs be better in intense fog due to the spectrum emission of Halogen say vs a 3000k HID where the intensity and brightness will contribute to much of that light being reflected and not penetrating that lower level fog.

    a bent wheel will cause vibration in the steering at higher speeds, when it's not too noticeable. Put the bent one in the back and see if it goes away. If it's still there, it could be your CV joints as well. Check if the CV bellows are hard or soft to the touch and if the grease is leaking.
