looks good man, i started off with the chrome tails too. but now i got cf tyc tails they look alot better

 

Yeah... I've got a pair of those stashed away.
I've decided to give the "chrome theme" a try for the time being.
I'll probably end up mimicking Tatum in the near future, though!

 

lookin nice lookin nice, im washing/waxing mine today and hopefully i'll have some pix up later tonight!

 

lol k tatum is gonna look a little different today i am thinking

 

what kind of gauges are your temperature and fuel?

 

needs a drop and im not sure about the blue gauges. other then that nice and clean

 

haha.... I was waiting for the inevitable "needs a drop" comment(s). Still kinda surprised it came from only the THIRD person to comment!
..... you DID check out the link I provided near the top, right? :nono:
I need my "4x4" to get me through :crap: like that!!
With that said, I may stiffen up the suspension a bit and get a slight drop with a Pro Kit come Spring time. Anything lower than that is pretty much out of the question, as she's my daily driver and even the stock 4 inch clearance doesn't quite cut it at times....:ugh2:

The gauges are XTAL clear blues I bought from LUNAR along with some purple LEDs. (think I told you about 'em, Jamie)
Unfortunately, the Speedo and Tach were damaged in the mail and ended up kinda looking "cheap" when installed. Reserve judgement on them until I can get the night pics up.

Car looks pretty clean. Just need to get that thing dropped and get some rims.:bigthumb: Sorry again for what happened with the gauges. Will look much better if you decide to finish them off. How do the purple leds look at night?

 

once you drop it you can do community service by helping plow the roads

 

lol..... I was joking with Mitsuboy1102 about how he could get a commission from the county with his Tracer 2 front and a planned drop.
Check out his recent MR thread, and you'll see what I mean! :lol:

 

Nice looking vista!

 

:agreed:
That's one thing I've come to love about Colorado. There's NO SHORTAGE of beautiful scenery!
After washing our cars, my buddy and I drove only minutes from my apartment (maybe 3 miles) to take these pics!
----------------------------------------
(that's his ride below.... the one with the snowplow on the front end! )

...... better pics of his ride HERE.

I'm "cross-promoting" for ya, Bernie.... and you've yet to even leave a comment in here!!

 

nice car needs some wheels

 

Wow Lucas you know I love your ride, But I know everyone is going to say drop it. But hey its F-ing winter here. I still say that you need some GT side skirts than your ride will look 10x better. And leave my snowplow alone. But yeah guys you gotta see the night shots of his gauges they look alot nicer at night. WE also did some nice custom lighting on his car that he is still leaving in the dark but they will be up soon im sure.

 

looks great - keep it up Lucas

 

Keep it coming!

I'm diggin' the FEEDBACK!

Thanks for the support, Greg! :hug3:
Eventually I'll have the budget to bolster the performance as well.... perhaps even outstripping your RIPP'd off setup? :fawk3: ...I'm thinking DOHC head swap with a quality TURBO kit might do it?

I try to keep it that way as much as possible. ....rims like.... YOURS? :deal:

I'll get some night pics up shortly. I dig the purple LEDs behind the FUEL and TEMP, but I found the same bulbs didn't do much for lighting up the stock section...even after spending an hour or two scrubbing all the amber off the back...:twitch:
I've got some "blue" incandescents in A/T/M.... a little unsatisfied with the results so far. No worries on the gauge deal... $#!7 happens. :happysad:

 

I was totally disappointed when I didnt see an evo here.

 

awww...... :mecry:

lol... I PASSED a pretty li'l YELLOW-ish one on my way into work last night.
Actually, I couldn't resist a good look. I had to slow, pulled even, then sped off after flicking my "stealth switch" off and on again.
I still think mine's better looking than those things.... just wish it could perform like one.
......crazy Japanese auto makers and their "performance sedans"!! :nuts:


I guess with that "stealth switch" comment I should let the cat outta the bag.... so to speak.
PICS ADDED of my custom LED's!

 

wow Lucas you finnaly let the cat outta the bag, cant wait to see what people say about them.

 

ahhh thats what i wanna do!...........where is the switch i dont see it =S

 

:ubernin:..... it's "stealth"

you really can't see it? .....hahaha.

 

I still love the way your LED's look at night the pictures cant quite capture it, they look amazing at night.

 

I SEE IT NOW!!!!11!! shift + 1

 

BUMP for new EDIT(s) and because I'd like more feedback on some of the custom work. :cool2:

 

snow

 

lookin good man. any more pics from a distance with the leds?

 

temp and fuel gauges look awesome

 

Yeah.... I like 'em too, Dre! :bigthumb:
Actually, a lot more effort went into getting all the amber off the stock speedo/tach.
If I'd left the whole set in, it'd look like this:

(in the daylight, at least)

As for the wheel well LEDs, I think there are some more pics from a recent "mini-meet" that'll be closer to what you're asking for, Will.
... gimme some time. I might find something.

 

Not a fan of the wheel leds but the dash... Yeah I just blew a load :wackit: looks sweet!

 

Thanks!


As Bernie stated earlier, the pics can't quite capture the look of the wheel well LEDs.... sort of an subtle alternative to underglow. Enough to kinda catch your eye, but not nearly so flamboyant as casting light on the pavement as you pass.:ugh2:
I'll see if I can coerce some pics outta Bernie that support that description... or take some new ones.
Thanks for your appreciation of the dash, though, Capt. Drizzle! (I just keep comin' up w/ 'em.. I dunno)
You DO realize I passed on the installation of the center piece, though.... right?
There were a few deciding factors in this.... um, decision. Primarily, I just couldn't stand the cheap look of the "warning lights" along the top...and the lack of a "needle stop" @ the bottom.
Plus, as I mentioned, the plastic was warped.
The needles stuck a bit on the first try with the STOCK overlay....
I can't imagine what these would've done:

:scared:

 

latest DE-evolution ....:sad: ( it HAD to wait until an entirely sub-freezing week )
