The blue in your cut off line looks intense. Makes me want to rework mine but laziness overpowers me.

thanks man! the pairing of the e30 lens and the cutoff shields works perfectly. might buy a set of tsxr lens just to see if i can get more color. cant wait for them to get finish. On a side note I LOVE your retro, was the first reto build thread i read on hidplanet.


might as well just take the entire car klutch! haha new wheel arrives friday, and those rusted screws on the fog bracket are pissing me off! ive tried everything but a heat to loosen them. Any suggestions to get them loose?

No complaints there
Tried Pb blaster?

Yours will look better then mine. S2k > rx330. :thumbs up In all the reading i did the e30's put out more color the tsxr. I swapped to e30's from those as well and i confirm it. I tihnk its more blue with tsxr and more purple with e30's though, but i was able to achieve the same amount of blue on my e30's through spacing adjustments but never could get purple on my tsxr.

Have you tried the spray thats suppoed to help loosen up rusted bolts? I know sometimes wd40 helps but theres another one i cant remember the name too that specifically helps get into the threading. Ask the hardware store maybe.

I just made the correlation of your username across 3 sites this morning. lol Small world on the forums.

edit: thats what its called, klutch got it.

^ ya i knew your sn looked familiar, just recently i figure it was you! lol
its soaking in pb blaster now, i could just use the brackets on my car, but im too lazy to take off my bumper. My plan was to use the extra fog brackets for retro to get everything lined up before i installed them on my car, than sell my brackets on my car,

damn... i knew i f***ed up selling you my s2k HIDs... lol

clean cut off :thumbs up

thanks, they arnt perfect yet. Im glad you did sold them to me :mrgreen:

jesus christ....this car is a beauty.

 

[XjoEnX]

Can I see more pics of your armrest? It looks dope.

 

[XslickwhitetegX]

ill take some right now, with new camera
my cargo cover/armrest/door panels are all in the same material. door panels arnt installed yet. my gf recovered them all, she even did my wallet in same material for vday! have few yards left, thinking of doing my seatbelt covers next, and maybe visors.

just bought fabric markers to color in the red stitching on my jdm itr steering wheel, ill show the before/after once i get the markers shipped in.

 

[XjoEnX]

Sweet! Thanks man

 

[XslickwhitetegX]

its a little dirty, attacks lent but you get the ideal

i thin usdm itr seats should be standard seat on tegs! they are super comfortable. ill get the rear seat after dragon run, probably in oct sometime, house comes first!

 

[XjoEnX]

It goes well with the seats :thumbs up. How difficult was it for the armrest to be wrapped? People have the most trouble with that.

 

[Sammich]

i duno, i woulda done something different, i dont think it matches the seat well. looks like a good job at the wrapping though

 

[XslickwhitetegX]

actually the arm rest was easy to do Joe, she just folded the edges like she was making military bed and hot glue is key! the cargo cover was a bitch. she thinks it needs to be redone, so it will be soon. door panels she put wire trim around edges so fabric keeps its shape. i'll have pics on those installed soon.

 

[XslickwhitetegX]

well my uncle broke his figures so rest of car wont be painted for a while.. but in mean time i went ahead and started taking off pinstripe myself.

the driver side looks great!

but due to previous owner accident the passenger side looks like this

the door pinstripe is painted and the fender is half painted half vinyl:shock: talk about weird!

so today i covered the painted pinstripe with white vinyl pinstripe that my uncle gave me, it will do until its painted correctly. pics up tomorrow.


retro almost done as well

 

[99TegLs]

dam, sucks about the pinstripe, but im sure it will all be taken care of! I thought in like your 1st post you said you would never get rid of it?
