No pics? 
Looks pretty decent
Looks alright to me even if its fake
I said it's fake, didn't say it's imaginary and doesn't actually exist. If you like it, good for you. It doesn't appear to fit against the bumper properly like the lip that is actually made for that bumper. Just seems a bit strange to fit a 99-00 designed lip (genuine or not) onto a 96-98 bumper.
Just voiced my opinion, hate not included. I've been following the build and I'm all for doing your own thing.

Car is fixed!! Tuned out the alternator ground was bad. I put all the new NRG grounds in now it starts up and rides like a dream again. Now all I need is tires, tie rods and to figure out whats causing the oil leak.
Also in search of a 1,000 watt amp to power my subs, can't say for sure which one i'm getting but looking like everything is coming together since I'm finally over that hump.

you just replaced the coilovers less than a year ago, but already need new rear shocks? Were they used coilovers? Also, what side of the engine are you seeing oil?

Yeah, they were used. And I actually found the leak, it's a hairline crack in the oil pan.

damn. well, at least you found it. Shouldn't be too hard to find a good condition used pan. By the way, I LOVE the stock HX wheels. Wish I had me a set. Seen a few examples here and there on Craigslist, but never when I have the cash handy. If you ever decide to go aftermarket, let me know how much you'd want for those (assuming you'd ever sell, of course)
Boost it, everyone seems to think a y5 can't handle boost because it's the "economy" motor but in reality pretty much all d series are. I boosted my y5 and loved it, stock block can handle 220whp and when your ready for more it will cost less than 2g to up the boost

Ooh, it's looking really niceHave a few updates. Replaced fuel filter, got a strut bar and hot air intake, deleted power steering, cleaned up my nrg ground wire install, and restored my headlights and gave it a full detail.
Also, picked up a set of 16s I am going to get powder coated green. Still need tires but I got these for free so no complaints here!
Still need to do valve adjustment, timing belt/water pump, need to replace my fans and cooling fan relay, and am saving up for new coil overs still.

What headlight restorer did you use? That's a big improvement
I like those new wheels too, that's gonna look good
I can't speak for anything mechanically but
on the aesthetics
