Finally picked the car up for good. Complete Job Design Hybrid kit with JD exhaust tips, all fenders metal worked to keep the oem look but still fit the +12 offset wheels, and a fresh 077 Starfire Pearl white paint with a shot of pearl on top of the black roof. Its a wrap! Left the shop and went to the Dayuum! meet up and chilled for a bit. Left there to the CL meet in Fullerton. Here are a couple pics from the CL meet last night.

The kits are made in Japan and shipped over. I think they also just stopped making this kit too. You can order from any job design from platinum vip.

Platinum VIP did the paint, repair and widening of the fenders. The offset of those wheels totally destroyed everything so they repaired it and made the wheels fit

Default Interior swap to black

Came up on some black interior so I figured I would do a complete swap with the help of Tuan at TN Auto Sound since hes the master at this job. When all the interior was out I thought it would also be a good time to dynamat everything too. Here are some pics of the progress. My cam had debris on the lens which makes the interior look like its damaged but it is not.


Swapping wiring harness just in case since new interior was from a 2000






The dash is in!

Steering wheel attached

Headliner installed

Carpet installed



More pics to come in the next day or two when its complete

THANK YOU ALL. The Dynamat is awesome. It added about 70lbs total weight to the car but the overall sound in the car is much quieter and the stereo sounds way better. A great investment but a total pain to install. Really enjoying the black too
