New Vega's 97 Red Coupe

You're going to regret buying an eBay exhaust. They sound like absolute crap. I'm not really a fan of the red LED's. Problem is you can get hot spots (like yours, where the light is REALLY bright in some areas). I prefer the OEM amber bulbs.
Nice job on the partial de-rice. Few more things and it'll look really clean.

I bought the exhaust from a shop, so i got to examine it before i bought it. Legit stainless, good welds, hangers were in right place. I also watched about 100 youtube videos of exhausts and this was one of the best sounding on a budget. Very deep and nowhere close to weed wacker. How could i argue with it for $250? also the hot spots are so minimal i really don't mind it. Long as it was all red. Thanx for the concern tho.

After tearing the ghetto ram air setup apart and removing the stick-on heat wrap, i found that the owner had cut down the APC intake hidden under the wrapping. Also had a well worn Spectre filter on the intake. I took the liberty of ordering a replacement intake system and it showed up today.
Old F**k'd intake setup
New in the box!
New intake setup with mounting bracket.
Suprisingly, for a cheap intake, it was well put together. MAF sensor slides tightly into it's port. Filter breaths easy. Looks a ton better. I hosed it down with WD-40 to keep rust & corrosion down. Good temporary intake until she acquires boost!

Ordered a Skunk2 Weighted Knob from Swerve Motorsports. Crazy weight difference. Look good with the digi camo too.
Also came across an extra lighter plug out of a 94-97 Accord. It has a light up ring around the opening. I retrofitted it in the civic and LED converted it while i had everything apart. Came out nice. (BTW the plug cover is out of a Neon)

After:
Night pics of the ring once it's dark out.

Finally got time to post up some new stuff. Got my JUN style front lip on. I still have to paint it to match the sideskirts, but i'll d that when i have all my paint work done. Also finished my LED turn signal mirrors. I like them alot. Something different.
I'm saving up for LED 50/50 Tails next. Gonna look sick. Eventually, she'll be completely LED top to bottom.

eh was never a fan of the lip, reminds me of a body kit.
mirrors are different, never seen that
i recommend not led 50/50 tails. oem style looks way better. but as long as your happy with the car, that is what matters
