I actually like it that way. They give off a really cool ethereal looking glow from what I can see in the pics. I think it would look awesome in person and you can look inside and see the charge tubes lit up. It's a really great idea.

Exactly, and that was my goal from the get-go. Didn't wanna lose my fog lights because I love them, but gotta do what you gotta do to make stuff work, and if you're gonna do it, do it right✌

Nice touch with the LEDs

That turned out better than I would have thought.

Also, here's a couple time slips from a track day a few weeks back.



Elevation was 155 feet above sea level, and temp was 47 degrees

I think I mentioned this before but wtf. Completely stock I was running 17 flat. I know the rs is a bit faster but man. Your auto or no? I think the autos are faster in the quarter.


**** you auto correct!

Mine is manual. But I've been drag racing and driving manual transmission cars for years, not bragging, but I'm a very good driver and know how to get the max out of a car

Which is why I'm aiming to have the fastest 1/4 mile time for stock turbo/motor, just have a few more bolt ons to get before tuning

Thanks and same here, never done that type of thing before so I was surprised too lol

Yeah, I been racing a while too, but mostly rwd cars and 4wd trucks. I've driven fed just not for racing.

[sonic_braaappp]

Gotcha, rwd and awd are both different than fwd

I really like to foglight idea. Ever since i got my IC installed i haven't been able to get the bumper to line up perfect no matter how much i trim away. (i am very anal about body panel fitment and gaps) I may consider doing this too come spring time

Don't know how I missed your comment lol but yeah, even after cutting darn near everything off the fogs, they STILL slightly hit the charge pipes at first, took them back put a couple weeks back and trimmed off a bit more and the bumper fitment is a little better but still not perfect, but at this point it's hardly noticeable so I'm able to ignore it haha

What did you use for the fog light cover. I'm actually interested in doing this mod now and relocating the fogs behind the upper grill.

I used the factory fog lights lol I just used a dremel to cut out everything that made the fog lights functional, all that's left is the lens and mounting points

Oh. so that plastic clear piece is from the fog lights themselves

 

[sonic_braaappp]

Yessir

Finally bit the bullet and fought passed my tight wad tendencies and ordered some coilovers. cant wait until they get here!!

 

[Blue Moon Sonic]

I want them springs and struts.

 

[sonic_braaappp]

Sorry D: someone made me an offer on them i honestly could not refuse (mainly because of my tightwad tendencies) but they offered me a larger amount than i was asking so i only had to pay $150 out of pocket for the coilovers :/

 

[Blue Moon Sonic]

Damn nice. You got a good deal out of that.

 

[sonic_braaappp]

Yeah and that the main reason I went for it, I know I had discussed selling them to you but ish happens. One of my friends with an RS is planning to get coilovers sometime this year so he may be willing to sell you his struts/shocks. He doesn't have lower in springs though

 

[Blue Moon Sonic]

It's all cool. I managed to find the RS struts and springs for cheap. Just need get them ordered along with my rotors and pads. May as well do it all at the same time while pulling everything apart.
