That is dedication with the transformers tattoo man. Leds are looking good though.

Thanks man, yea I ordered the center cap emblems last night so I will have some transformers stuff on it.

Also today I got the rest of my LED's so I will be putting them in later today & also got my left side fender water shield so this weekend I'll install the new lights.

Thanks, now it's starting to come together, bodywork then paint & the rest is easy, gotta get it looking good, it already runs great, just want to do a bit more under the hood & drop it a bit & drive it daily, that sounds good to me.

Sounds good to me to man. Im to lazy to looks it up as of right know but which leds do i need to get to do the dome light and license plate lights. I have never done anything with leds never even bought one bulb so dont know what to look for. Is there a number on them like the stock ones or what and where did you get them thank you in advance.

I greatly apperciate it man it should be the same for my 98 cause i replaced all my tail light bulbs and the numbers on yours are the same as mine thanks man.

 

[dj_hallucn8]

No prob.

About how much did you spend on the leds for the dome light and plate lights money isnt an issue just wondering what to expect.

Rims are definitely a big improvement.... Glad I could contribute to the cause

 

[emerican]

No, haven't thought about that, might look in to it.

 

[TigBitties]

There is a DIY on here that my friend did. Its real easy and cheap but looks way better

GIVE ME YOUR SPRINGS AND ILL GIVE YOU MY LOWERED ONES lol


I really like the new rims though, they tie everything together really well. It's time to paint that valve cover son! I'm hoping to get mine powder coated soon, but I can't decide on a color

 

[TigBitties]

meh not worth powder coating. You dont even need high temp on honda valve covers. i used regular paint over a year ago and it hasnt chipped or flaked off at all. You can use a high temp silver base though and it wont hurt. This opens up way more options for painting
