Today I decided to do the cup holder LED mod . I chose the color white becuase my blue LEDs did not work . It took about 3 hours ! Trying to wire it up and add the resistors took the longest other than that It was easy for me . I have tons of stuff and resistors left over so if anyone's interested in doing the mod PM .

I will take some pics later tonight so you can see the full effect of the LEDS

 

Painted the interior plastic on the driver side door . I plan on redoing the grey fabric with red polyester fabric. And the rest will be carbon fiber vynl wrapped .

 

I love project threads. All the best on this one.

 

Thanks !

 

Yesterday I sent my car to the shop do deal with the no brakes issue . We agreed on 100 but they tried to jack me up on the price of the new calipers to 109$ each which was rediculous . So I called a two truck to bring it home I'll do it myself !

 

Bump . Good luck with the car. It's coming out pretty.

 

Thanks

 

I'm looking to paint the car becuase it's in the need for a new paint job !

The colors I am thinking are :

Red with white or black rims
Black with black rims
White with black rims.

Can anyone give me a suggestion becuase it needs to be changed ASAP .

And I was thinking about going with rust oleum instead of plasti dip .

 

Okay big news for today . I spent all my graduation money on car parts haha !

I ordered :
euro black headlights 188.00
Altezza black aftermarket Tailights 100.00
Couple cans of duplicolor black (for paint job)
Gold engine oil cap for evo 8 15.00

Also decided not to go with a body kit , becuase the shipping price is crazy and I will paint the car black (glossy)

 

Okay another update . Yes the car will be black but I'm vynl wrapping the fenders to make it look like I have carbon fiber fenders haha . I think it will look very nice tho (just ordered the wrap)

 

Update : going to Home Depot tomorrow to get red plasti dip cans or black cans if they don't have the red . Can't wait !

 

Hey man. Are u planning on dipping the whole car with the spray cans????

 

Hey. What did u hook it up to to get it to light up when u opened the doors? And can u still turn it on manually? And I'm not sire if u have keyless lock and unlock, but if u do does the led glow flash with the dome light also???

 

Idk if you use the LED glow kit or not but here's what I did .
1.) extend the ground wire of your LEDs . Make sure you have a good length more is better then less.
2.) remove the front driver side floor sills and the sill that is to the left of you while your driving
( where you seat belt goes into )
3.) run the wire from the console to under neath the pedals to the trim which you should have removed by now .
4.)unscrew what I showed you in the picture . (The little rubber grommet inbetween the door .)
5.) if you examine it you'll see like the brown little rods or pieces of metal in it .
When you push the grommet in you'll see them lift up .
6.) when they lift up slip the ground wire in there so the metals are touching:
7.) put it back together test for functionality .

when you open the door they should turn on and when the door is closed they should be off.

No you can't turn it on any more manually . Only when the door opens .
And yes I do have the remote key access . No they will not turn on the lights unless you some how wire it to the unlock/lock system .

 

Plasti dipped the rims ! Looks pretty good to me I hated that ugly chrome !
