Updates on 05ah8james GGVIIIMR

I got the car about two months ago, and I've been loving it. Its an awesome car, and I couldnt be happier. Heres the stuff I've done to it:

-Powerslot rotors
-SS Brake lines
-Motul Brake Fluid
-Advan RGII's ( Will be silver next summer)
-Ambered out interior. Everything is the same color of the gauge cluster.
-Buschur straight through magnaflow TBE.
-AEM Intake
-Avid Motor Mounts
-Swift Spring Set
-DIY IX MR Headlights
-Red-out Tails

To be installed:
-HKS 272/272 Cams!!



















P.S. The car is not on level ground, that is why the left side is almost tucking and the right side it 4x4in' it.

How did you do the headlights? They really look like the read JDM ones. Did you have to buy the white reflector, or did you use the ones that came with your headlights and paint them?

Looking good man. Really impressed with the headlights. Did you do the sidemarkers yourself, too? That's something I've considered.

I just got my JDM head and taillights and will be putting them on soon. We should do a shoot once that's done.

No, I just took the amber marker out, and painted the inside of the lens with some model paint from a local hobby store. I didnt want the real JDM ones because the beam pattern isnt the same, and would be weird on a LHD car.

Yeah that would be cool. I'm the only person I know around the CT area with an EVO

They looked better, but I used something to clean them and it messed them up. I will be buying real VII tails pretty soon.
