I got a little bit more done on my car today. I was straightening out my 20 year old vapor barrier and it was so old and dry rotted that it ripped in half. Since they are discontinued and all, I decided to make my own out of plastic sheeting. It's s ton cheaper and should do the trick just fine. I'll have to do the back doors as well. I have a new driver door piece so I won't need to improvise one for it. I also finished building the front right door. I put one of my new speakers in as well.

I've gotten several small things done to my car recently. I put my 3 improvised vapor barriers in and my new driver door vapor barrier in also. I also installed my new speakers in the front doors. After fighting to get my new driver door to fit perfectly I had to compromise and fit it the best it would. It was apparently jigged incorrectly or the existing door stamps are utter crap. I know it's my new door because I have 2 other, older, 20 year old doors that aren't new and aren't painted and buffed that fit perfectly.
After I built the driver door up I decided that I would just buy new gaskets for the driver door which I did today, as well as a few other small pieces. I also undercoated my front inner fenders here are a few pics.

Today I chipped away at this project a little more. I put my center caps on my wheels and installed my rnrs. At the end of the day I got a little help putting on my hood. I didn't want to stay and work on it for long so I kept the progress small. Here are a few pics.

Today I chipped away a little more at my project. I put my washer nozzles on and put all the little under hood goodies on. I also built my front bumper built and finished and took a couple of pics of the Mugen lip vs. The J's racing one. Here are a few pics

Well I'm gonna get the rear seat and inner door panels recovered and get the windows tinted. I don't really have a ton left to do though.

Today I spent a little time on the sedan. I put the headlights on and the front bumper up to it for a pic.

Looks awesome! I've always loved the Mugen lip. What percent tint are you doing?

35% all the way around. I don't really care for dark tint on cars for function or looks. 35% will help the ac in the summer to make it easier to keep cool. I've got some more stuff to put on tomorrow.

I painted my new passenger fender. I had to fix a stinking dent in it then paint it. Gotta buff it now. Shouldn't be so bad since it's just a fender. Here's a quick pic.

Today I installed my fog light harness. Pretty simple stuff. I just had to swap out a couple of ends because my car is usdm and the harness I have is from a JDM car. Just one more small piece to this puzzle. I snapped a quick pic of my switch for a piece of OEM goodness.

When I first got my previous sedan, it took a minute to really get the plus side. Obviously black seems to be the best, but tan doesn't show dirt like black. It'll look good in the end.
