have you got any pics of how your front bumper is mounted on the in side
i have the same from but need to make something to get it mounted top the car

**xtreme17** · 3-25-08, 6:41

Update:
I ditched the idea at LAST MINUTE for them to fill in the rear side markers.
Turns out you have to have them, or the vehical doesn't pass safety, and the cops will give me even more hassle than they do now.

So, I guess I will have to get them to make holes in the front bumper to put in the front side markers....
Then my dilemma is, is changing the bulbs in the rear sidemarkers...
They are currently white / light blue and the cops bug me about them.

I have to change them to red, BUT I cannot seem to figure out how to get to the bulb.... I have spent a long time trying to figure it out....
So if anyone has tips on how to get to the bulbs in the rear sidemarkers, it would be greatly appreciated!!!

**D'sMx-6** · 3-25-08, 7:50

To get to the bulbs in the sidemarkers gently pry the sidemarker out with a flathead screwdriver wrapped in a towel or cloth. Once the sidemarker is out, you just twist the socket and replace the bulb.

you got any update pics of your car yet

**TurboTronix** · 4-6-08, 11:15

Very clean job. It looks great!

**xtreme17** · 4-6-08, 13:06

The body work is all done, windows are out, and the painter is on holidays....

So once he gets back in a week or two, it'll be painted.
I can let the other guys at the shop do it, but I would rather wait a few more weeks, and have it done properly.

I am thinking about molding my front end also but I have to ask you if you
were driving somewhere and the car acted up and you had to get it towed what
would you do then?

**David** · 4-13-08, 1:27

You'd call a tow truck and he'd halfway rip off the front bumper, and in doing so ruin the fenders as well. Of course that depends if your lowered too much or not. You could also fabricate up a screw in tow hook. Also keep in mind if you end up ever getting any sort of damage to the front of the car it'll be a lot easier and cheaper to fix if you can just remove the bumper.

**xtreme17** · 4-13-08, 23:41

If I ever need to get towed, I will get a low profile tow-truck (we have alot of them here).
If the front end ever gets damaged, insurance will cover it.
Hmm... good idea on the tow-hook idea... just incase I can't get a tow-truck.

**xtreme17** · 4-23-08, 5:29

Update:

Car gets painted this Friday!!!!!!
All the prep is complete.
I refinished the rear quarter windows, so that they are not all rough, and ugly looking. They turned out beautiful!
I have my new Ksport struts ready to be put into the Ksport coilover assembly.
New Brembo rotors ready to be put on.
Still looking for some good rear calipers.
Just got a Manual ECU to chip with the Probinator chip... Still need the chip though.
