Hey, just showing some of the first steps that I've done so far, some might have seen it in my Intro thread, but here is for everyone else!
I had to start by putting in my speakers and head unit, I've also just recently tinted the tail lights which took awhile but the results are better than I expected,
I also have a Twin Dump exhaust tip waiting to be welded on, should hopefully get sum pic's of that on this week or the next.
Here's some pic's




Next on the list is to a gas installment to save some fuel costs, and after the rebate get 19" BF F6 Typhoon Wheels

When I get to that stage then I should have a few more ideas on what to do.

color coded front and rear bumper inserts + tinted side repeaters would make a world of difference mate. looks like a nice clean ride at this point though!

i personally wouldn't colour match the bumper inserts. Have a look at an EL, looks plain. I'm putting the black line on my EL

Yeah finally a decent set of plates.. 1+. Gotta love a red e-series on typhoons but I may be a tad bias there haha. I've always thought red needs something up the side though to break it up, Im still a bit undecided on what to do with mine. I thought about doing away with anything but I think it needs something along the doors.

Haha cheers mate! I sort of know what you mean by 'break it up' it is a little plain but i like it that way at the moment, and i can thank you for the look of the typhoons, ever since i saw them i was like "Shit Chyeahhhh! Im so getting those wheels!!!!"

hey guys and gals just another update, had a thought for interior mods, was gonna paint some sections of the dash, door plastic a darker grey/maybe black buuut got to an idea for lights instead, i've replaced the auto-lamp with a blue LED strip and blue dash lights, eventually other air-con lights will be blue too when i can be bothered
most might have seen this before but its new to me

cheers more updates to come soon hopefully!
