Car turned out really well,, Looks like you got the mod bug like the rest of us..LOL

 

now thats amazing.
I think you did the right thing on going 17's with a little meat on the rubber. with those kind of miles you did good.

props, overall cost and elbow grease I think the project looks great

 

Break Drum looks rusty . I suggest paint them .

 

Thanks everyone...

I really wanted a little meat on the tires due to the age of the car so I went with:
Tires - BFGoodrich 225/45/ZR17
Rims - Enkei DM5 17

The rims/tires and filter really smoothed out the ride I enjoy it a lot and actually feels like it's something special again thanks to you guys on the forum!

So where is the best place to buy PIAA light bulbs?

After searching I see this bulb is popular for the low lights? Can anyone recommend these?
PIAA
Twin Pack 17655
Single Pack 17155
Bulb Type H7
Wattage 55W = 110W XTRA, 4000K
Technology Xtreme White Plus


I also need to know what you guys use for cleaning your leather seats?

Blide, see what a little love can do? It looks great, you make me want to go wax mine right now!

 

i just got some piaa xtreme whites plus for my headlights and foglights. haven't installed them yet but the H7's cost about 60 and the fogs were about 40 both on ebay. hope to get them on soon. haven't had the chance since my car was in the shop all week.

 

blide, that's some amazing makeover on your '98. I especially love what was done to your headlights, just a clear difference overall

When I had my non-HID headlamps in my '01, I ordered my PIAA bulbs from http://www.optauto.com. Great website for aftermarket parts and accessories, and prices are reasonable There is also Ebay to look into, but quality of the light bulbs sold there is questionable.

 

Nice job!

 

Good stuff.. I would have personally gone for the 18's but still a nice improvement from before...


I’m say get the new style tails, slap on some HID's and you’ll be loving life

And if you really wanna go nuts.. get a Avic D-1 or the new Z-1 (in-dash navi) you will never wanna get out of your car.

 

There are numerous threads in the Automotive Care & Detailing section of CL addressing this topic. Most guys seem to condition the leather, followed by a cleaning with non-bleach Soft Scrub or Fast Orange (without pumice), and finally a second coat of leather conditioner. I've always kept good care of my leathers (condition twice a month), so my results aren't as drastic as some of the before/after pics some have posted .
