Bought some Endless brake fluid.

I also sent my ARC Magic intake to my buddy to get restored and polished. He's also going to swap out the old hardware for new custom titanium bolts. Once finished, he'll install a new air filter for me that I got.

 

Painted my grille, will probably install it this weekend when I have some free time

 

Oh man, those things are beautiful. Especially the ARC chamber.

 

Love the grill

 

[QUOTE=Kronk;1325099]Alvarooo90 that's gotta be one of the best looking GDs out there.

Totally missed this, thanks man

 

Started sanding this down to get it ready for paint


Got this installed


Going to give it some time and see if it softens up at all. I used shore 60 polyurethane and its alot harder then I thought it would be. Would be great in a track car but not so much a daily.

When pouring urethane use mold release


The old mount was really bad though

 

Changed the color of my Cluster Gauge and A/C Panel from stock to green (I love green) hihi

 

That's pretty awesome. How did you go about doing that and what leds did you use?







Got a new arc air filter to replace the old one that was on the intake and some titanium bolts to replace the old hardware.

 

wow those green bulbs are cool.

also love that mount. i need to do that as well.

 

Went to my buddy's muffler shop and welded some blast pipes just because and FINALLY got some wheels! I am definitely happy with the look. What do you all think?

 

I didn't know what LEDs the guy used. I just knew someone who changes the lights with a soldering device/machine and voila, the results were cool.

 

Those rims are insane! Very unique and with the wax and polish on your paint looks pretty slick. I got another 4-5 months before my car will look clean again... damn winter.

 

Yeah. Really liking the wheels and the exhaust pipes are cool too

 

Before and after. Almost done with the restoration.

 

I feel like the GD has so much nicer aftermarket stuff than the GE8. Probably BC they do. Nice ARC box!

 

Nicer, yes. Hard to find, definitely yes.

 

GD's, imo, look nicer.

Regarding aftermarket parts, there are a lot of stuff out there since the GD has been out for much longer; however, in terms of stuff for the USDM fit, not really. Most of the parts out there is JDM and most likely will not fit.

Due to the popularity of the GD, parts that fit in the USDM GE's are much more abundant. Hell, they have the Mugen kit for the USDM GE's! (Not to mention Mugen carpet, etc...) You would have to do a full JDM front and rear end conversion to be able to put on the Mugen kit for the GD. There's also a bunch of J's Racing parts available for the GE (ie. taillights, etc...). I think it's easier to modify GE's than GD's, but that's only speaking from the USDM.


Thanks. :P

 

Yeah ive got Mugen everything on my GE. Front, sides, rear, grill, carpet, mirror, short shifter, only thing missing is the exhaust.

 

Well la-de-fucking-da! mbn LOL jk!

I just noticed you were in NoVA, what part? We should grab lunch one day and talk about our cars. :P

 

Haha meant it in a way that i still prefer the GD and aftermarket parts they have available like a turbo kit. Im in Manassas.
