I really like what you've done here. I'm also a fan of the OEM+ style. Kinda what i'll try to go for. Maybe later on get those HID Retrofits in there.

 

Those pictures give me a car boner..... I'm jelly. But really awesome job on your fit

 

coolest 3rd gen!

 

Awesome Fit! Quick questions about your suspension setup, How long did you run the "GE" coilovers, why did you switch to your current setup? Thanks in advance.

 

Thanks for the compliments. The front fits perfectly. Sides are a bit tight in fitment and needed two people to hold and install. Would suggest heating them up with a heatgun before painting them. Rear is terrible fitment. Doesn't line up at all with extra material at both ends. Or if you make the ends tight, the middle bows out about 1/4". Yes, i used OEM Honda weather stripping to make it look factory

Thanks for the compliment. I placed my order through GoTuning and waited 5 months, but it never arrived. Ended up cancelling and getting a refund. They should have my pipe in stock now unless someone bought it already

Thanks for the compliment. Retrofits def enhance the look of the car alot. Wish they came stock. Increased light output is huge

Thanks for the compliment

Thanks for the compliment

Thanks for the compliment.. I ran the Tanabe coilovers for 5,000 miles then the Ground Control + Koni setup for 3,000 miles. Both were designed for the GE8. The rebound on the Tanabes are very stiff and i got annoyed after a while. Switched to Konis because I have used them in previous cars and are very comfortable. Mileage is low on the Koni/GC setup because I pulled all the parts off and traded the car in. I do not drive much either, so that is why miles are low.

Did you take off the front lip and side skirts to part out as well or?

 

Traded in the car with them on the car

 

Nice built.

 

Hadn't been here in years since my '07 GD3.. Looking at some of the builds here, I must say, your car looks fantastic! So very clean, love it, keep up the great work.

 

When doing the retrofit, any dremeling/cutting needed?

I think I've seen that CT guy, on the lexus forums

 

Love the seat covers & steering wheel cover, going to see if I can track some down over here.
Great build thread

 

Everytime i see a build with the clazzio's, I'm inspired. But I'm left to wonder, do they stay firmly in place- how have they stood the test of time? It's been a couple years since you installed them, can you post a pic update of what they look like after being sat in fir thousands of miles?


(excellent build thank you for sharring)

 

This car has long been parted out.
