Wow that's clean lookin!
I like your plans, clean and simple.
Keep it up!

Still not low enough for a signature.
Yeah, it's quite clean for the age. New paint, almost flawless interior, 120k on the LD9, and it's by the far the quietest one I've ever heard. There are some flaws, though:
- the sunroof cover is off it's track
- the guy said the sunroof doesn't work, but when I pulled the switch down, the plug was actually clipped off completely
- the foglights are missing; not the plugs, the actual housings
- the aftermarket exhaust the PO put on sounds like @!#$ and wasn't even done properly
- motor mount seems bad (engine rocks around when you rev it)
- passenger side mirror and power lock don't work
They're all pretty minor things. I have an RKSport upper mount to replace the worn out one, and she'll be getting the NA exhaust from the Pearl. I'll probably have the shop do both cars at the same time when I take my car in.. should be soon. Other parts she's inheriting:
- AEM short-ram intake; gonna see about getting a heatshield made for it
- smoothed IDI cover
- DC Sport strut tower brace
- 18x8 Rota Sub-Zeroes
- KYB shock/struts with Dropzone coilovers
- 2000-02 LSS/Z24 rear bumper
I know she wants a set of 97-99 Toyota tails, and I'm also looking for clear corners, clear bumper lenses, Euro clear headlights, and possibly a 2000-02 Z24 spoiler. Should be pretty nice. It's funny because I bought a 98 Z24 back in 2005 that's identical to this thing. Serious deja vu going on here lol.

Nice! I'm feelin the color Chica! Looks clean!
Yeah, I'm thinking there might have been some acid rain carry-over from south Florida or something, because I had almost no clear coat issues before the storm, and even Sinh's car had zero clear issues the day we got it.

Looks great I'd trade my Blue interior if we lived closer lol
Not feeling the idea of covering it with ricey undercarriage lights and halos.... and aside from that, why specific with an all "meh" pioneer sound system? Just curious. But yeah, please don't cover that thing with F&F lights

clean, those wheels should look sharp on there!
but..umm..whats with that tail pipe? O.o
04 Cav. 2dr. 5spd. My DD. 'Nuff said.
Looks good but really not feeling that dash cover at all.. I think it makes the interior less apealling.. But thats just my .02.. Its all about what you like not me.. Keep up the good work!!
Hmm toyos and spacer I have both
Want hub spacers rear disk brackets or trailing arm bushings? Shoot me a PM.
If you want something that will be good quality for the price and light up blue, look into Kenwood's Excelon line. I would not recommend anything from the "normal" Kenwood line, but their Excelon units are still made in Japan and are of very high quality.

I miss the DB plus series when they were good lol, I'm running all clarion and don't regret it the new line has blue AND red lights for the face plate :-)
"As I lay rubber down the street, I pray for traction I can keep, but if I spin and begin to slide, please dear God protect my ride." -Amen
My Kenwood in the Passat has a blue face with red backlit buttons. If it was a Mk4, it'd match the factory gauges perfectly. Given what was said earlier, I'll have to look into what line mine is from.
I'll be hitting up some of the local yards in the morning and see if I can find a 2000+ center console, foglight housings, and a new headlight harness. I'm betting I come home empty-handed, unfortunately.

With all the J's in my local yards it blows my mind how many people have that pessimistic attitude going to their local yards. How are your yards not fulled with old econobox GM cars???? Lol

I live in a small town where we only have like, three yards total. We had one a while back that was always loaded with j's, but they got fined so many times for not draining fluids that the county shut them down for good.

i live in a small town as well with two yards, two j's in one, both pretty well picked clean just shells. like the color alot havent seen one that color around my neck of the woods, if i were you id put a sunfire cluster in with blue leds so it would be purple and change the hvac lights to purple as well, ive got lights here to do this to mine, just need motivation to pull the dash apart haha
Well if there's incentive for me to go to the yard soon, I could always look for parts for you guys? If you're willing to pay shipping and cost of parts. AND assuming it's semi-easy stuff to pull. I'm not pulling a motor or hubs or something for you lol
