Sick picture. Saw this build up over on vsc. Is your kit still unpainted? Good to see someone doing everything so right. You have alot of the mods done that I'm currently in the process of and it's nice to see it all put together. Definitely SLAM that ish though! And possibly some more aggressive rims in the future... hmm??

Thanx man! I still haven't gotten around to painting it after fixing the huge crack my wife put on the front bumper. I will paint it after I do my LED side mirror mod and install the stock spoiler. I want to have all the holes pre-drill before painting it. There are still a few things I want to do before the paintjob. But yeah, more aggressive rims are on the way, like I mentioned earlier, I ordered some Leon Hardiritt Beils, they should look pretty nice on the car. I will slam it later on down the road once I have money for air suspension.

a true inspiration, how long have you had the car before you started working on it? Whats the time range from each project from seat dye to engine swap?

I got this car in January of last year. My first mod was HIDs, and then I cleaned the yellow headlights. After that, I started dyeing the parts within the first month that I had it. It took about 3 to 4 months to dye the dash and door panels and stuff. I did it on and off, little by little, so that's why it took so long. I then ordered the Tein CS suspension. While I was waiting for that, I ordered the AVIC-Z2 and installed that. When the Teins came in, I didn't install it until I got wheels. The wheels I got was used, it was powder coated black, I re-powder coated it silver and re-polished the lip. Got wheels and tires, and mounted it w/ the Tein suspension on in a weekend. That was about 6 months after having the car. I then ordered the AC kit, and that took 3+ months to come in. When I got that kit, I installed it and was away for a few months for work and didn't mod the car for all of that summer up until I ordered the 1jz motor. I installed the motor in around the fall/winter time. Can't remember the exact time. Now, I have a bunch of parts and I am still working on getting the car up to status.

Haha, yeah, I am a big sneakerhead. Got my own streetwear clothing brand as well.

Anyways, here are my latest mods:

I got these puddle lights from Elite Auto Style, it's freaking sweet. They fit flush so it's real subtle and the output is perfect. I got the white LED ones, they're gonna be hooked up to my door so they only come on when I open up my doors.



Here's a sneakpeek of another upcoming mod as well:

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the Leons came in. I was at work when my friend sent me some pictures of them:

Sorry for the phone pix, I'll take pix after they're mounted on my car.







Here's him trying to see how they'll look on his GS:



And the A-hole decided to sell it on craigslist, haha:
