Radio's Build Up Thread! O.o

[ikillradio]

Just spent 9 hours doing my 99-00 Front end conversion and foggy install. Also started work on a custom fab job to turn my 98 mugen lip into a 99 mugen/spoon style lip.

I have a Seibon CF hood and it has the holes for the winshield washers, did you guys leave the holes open or put the fluid squirters in? I had to dremel them down to fit decently


Pics in a bit
For now:

Ps.
Depo install is _cake_ sorry Daniel

LOL...yeah thats how I figured they were knockoffs....I must say, they don't look bad for fakes...

You could always make your own city light hole...?

 

[Mr. Lin]

You could always make your own city light hole...?

yes, and have the world blow up.

 

[Jezek]

yes, and have the world blow up.

That could be a problem...

 

[Genuine Rolla]

im confused....I understand how they are CTR knock offs but they just look like stock 99-00 headlights to me...they're not slightly smoked, they still have that bulb deflector on them....clarification would be great.

ctr headlights are chrome like the stock ones but have a gunmetal tint to them while retaining the chrome, you know what i mean? Vs the DIY CTR where you spray black/gunmetal and it's not very reflective any longer.
i guess
they just look nifty

eventually
but i do value the world and i don't think buzz buzz would be happy if the world blew up

round 2

Fittament wasn't the best so round two!

How much you have to bend your support, and its important to bend under the support if you have fog lights, they rubbed pretty bad otherwise.

stupid A/C Temp Sensor mounting point was giving me a hard time so off it came.

Struggles and wham! Solution.

and now the sexy

mmm

only teasers again sorry
