Thanks people.
I appreciate the feedback.
Yeah, I like the look of the four doors and they're practical as well... The only downside is that they only came out with GA16DE's and not SR20DE's or even the SR16VE that the VZ-R's came out with...
Oh well... The GA's are a pretty hardy engine, so im not complaining too much...

welcome to aoc mate x
Ok so its been a while...
I have started installing my JDM console. Because I didnt want to move my air con controls or buggerise around with extending the cables, I have decided to fabricate some custom brackets to make it fit... I used some 0.6mm galvanised tin sheeting to make some smaller brackets to hold the cup holders in place without fouling the air con controls above.
These fit beautifully but because of the odd sizing of the controls, this means i need to modify a blank din pocket to fit in the double din socket.

As you can see it unfinished and it needs a lick of my metallic blue paint to tie in with my interior styling, but its pretty cool for the price i paid...
Also, I have installed the auto tree into my gauge cluster. They don't work atm, most likely because the car has the aus loom not the japan loom in it...
Excuse the quality of the pics...

Glad it arrived all ok, i did wonder what plans you were going to come up with to move the heating controls, but you've done a great job. Just needs a wee bit to finish it off now and your sorted.
Ok, so I haven't taken pics of the wind deflectors still...
I have been wondering for a while how I could improve the rear lights to make them stand out from other sedans and It got me thinking about eyelids but for the tail lights... As I've been going for the black and blue theme all round and inside, I thought about the SSS headlights and how I could make them carry on around the back.
Anyways, I had a bit of a play with some Black electrical tape and this is what I came up with...
Dodgey I know, but it cost me all of about 50c and about 5mins of my time, and I think they look awesome!
What do you think?
Yes, I realise they arent perfect, but from a distance, I really like the look of them

insted of black how about body colour. like some of us have done over here on the phase 2 rear lights
yeah, I thought about that, but I prefer the look of the black and it adds to my theme... Plus, its a bit more individual, and I think it looks better...
