Cheri's 09 Log

Post by NiteHawk » Tue Jan 13, 2009 8:44 pm

Time to start the 09 progress log :)

Here's the DEFINITE plans this year so far:

1. TL Retro
2. Mopar/Borla SRT Exhaust
3. DEPO/Maxzone LED tails
4. Carbon SRT hood
5. Interior Painting (flat black)

I wanna find a new set of wheels, and maybe do the SRT swap finally......we'll see i guess

I have a new set of DEPO headlights ordered from Modern, soon as those come in, I'll be sending those and the projectors off to the company that's going to do my retro. Itll be chrome bezel like factory, flat black projector shroud, chrome trim ring around the lens, and if they'll fit, CCFL angel eyes around the lenses as well. It'll look good when it's done, and the company thats doing it said they'll take progress pics for me to show yall. They're charging me $300 labor, $50 for the shrouds, $20 for the chrome rings. I'm providing the housings and projectors. All in all, it's well worth it to me :)

I'll order the led tails in a few weeks, then a couple after that the exhaust, then about a month later the hood :)

Ditching the carputer plans? I was excited to see how that turned out. I "plan" on installing one in the summer along with megasquirt. The Depo LED are by far my favorite 03+ tail. Nice choice.

the carputer will be a "when possible" mod...

i have things i want it to do, but they're not quite within my reach yet, so i may wait to do it till i can have it do the things i want it to do

thats why its not in the "definite" plans this year...
