    Threw on the new pads, rotors, and brake lines. No more vibration, brakes real nice and smooth :)

    Check it out:



    Shiiiny :D


    BTW:, no my front end wasn't held up by a large plastic container, that was just there to hold tools and the container for draining the brake fluid, notice the red jack stand hahaha.

    Update on the eyelids:







    Cut them down some, took the advice I got on this thread, so now they aren't as thick but still look aggressive. Need to reprimer, sand, then paint finally.

    Thoughts?

    Did some work... Finally wrapping up some loose ends, mesh, eyelids, and also did a new project...


    Masked off some parts to paint the white parts behind the bumper, and removed the fogs




    Then got the idea to paint the fog housings black, and smoke (very dark smoke ha) the fogs. The second pic shows half the grille with black mesh fit into it. Also you'll notice that I'm getting rid of the Mitsu logo on the grille, making it flush.




    Test fit some mesh in the bumper: (will be black when finished)



    This front end project of mine has definitely been the biggest pain in the ass of my entire modding career so far haha. The eyelids take a huge amount of work, the mesh is kind of a bitch to work with (as you'll see in a sec) and it's just a lot of elbow grease in general. But I'm hoping it'll all be worth it :)

    What do you guys think of the fogs? I'll have to post pics of them actually installed and hooked back up, I'll need silverstars now, or brighter haha.

    Front end is looking good, but IMO you smoked the fogs too much. Yours not gonna get much light outta those. Lighten it up just to where it has a light to medium tint so that you can have a better output and a cleaner look.

    Yeah I wetsanded and clear coated the fogs, they're lighter now, but still look dark. They're back on the car. Primed eyelids again and grille, gotta paint those and add the mesh to the grille and bumper (which are painted black now)

    close.
