my build thread.

[yolo.]

Never created my own build thread. Figured I'd keep this thread updated as I continue with my car.

Day1



Then I bought Stasis Coils and wheels. I thought ASA's were cool at the time.


OEM 20th lip and skirts. Sat like this for awhile.


Switched out the PO's pos unit with a double din. OEM+ ftw.


Spacers.



Shaved hood/bumper. FK 2-bar grill.


Painted calipers a bronze/gold color to try and match turn signals. I think it came out alright.


Had enough of my wheels. Straight up trade for Aristos
Got almost a brand new 20th exhaust for free. Obviously I took it. Put it on the same day.


Took the liners and sway bar out. Looking back, I wish I had just cut holes in them instead of completely taking them out.

Bought matching ambers. Cruised like this all summer.



During the summer, took care of some maintenance
-Bought a stubby and floor mats

Got some DZ1's from joshpwnstango



Only ran them for a month or so before I began hibernation and went in winter mode.

Took care of the headlights

Before:


After:


Bored at work and spent several hours doing this.


Thought stickers were cool. Before & After


DZ1. 17x8.5 & 17x10
Just ordered new Falkens. 205/45's & 215/45's

Still currently in the process of refinishing my wheels. Yes, they're fake splits. I have DZ centercaps to cover up the ugly multi-lug.


Just ordered Gold bolts/studs. Faces are candy white, bolts are gold, and lips will be polished.


Stupid Kielen's car getting worked on


Messed around with NickBroderick's old and new wheels

Picked 'yolo.' as a joke for those that take it seriously
Had to switch names cause the password on the old account was from an old email so had no way of getting it

Love the direction the car is going

[yolo.]

Centers done. All those things that look like scuffs/scratches are just pieces of tape that haven't been peeled off yet.


Rings came in.


Then sanding.
Starting with 600 since the wheels were pretty good to start with. Wetsanding 600, 800, 1000, 1500 and 2000.

Then polish

[yolo.]

So yesterday I started to test fit the bolts that used to fit in the wheels before powdercoat...they don't fit now. Is this normal? Should I file down the holes? This doesn't seem right.

[TheColbster]

Someday im gonna 1 up you on the drawing lol
the sanding is gonna suck, good luck

[tmg1991]

love white wheels on black cars

[livinzlyfe]

do it mang.

also, who cares if they are fake splits. I remember when dz exclusive was part of the word filter. og wheels.
