My s15 has arrived

The Verdict

I went with Silver for the inside.  Thanks for everyone comments and opinions.  I went tool shopping today and got paint, some chisel thingies to get the deadening off because I know dry ice will cost an arm and a leg here.  Also some of the necessities that I don't have here like a 4-way, zip-ties, some washers so I could make my hood latch work properly ect ect.

Tomorrow I will change my passenger HID with my driver side to see if the bulb is just out or if the unit is broke.  If the unit is broke I am reverting back to normal headlights.  The HID kit is a rats nest and I really don't care to have it.

Bad news is I searched all over for a paint to match the color of the car so I can paint my fenders and couldn't find anything close.. There are two stores I just found out about tonight though so I will check those tomorrow after work.  I really wish the car was just a normal factory color :(

  3. Sounds good, but yeah. Like what LA said, HID are really nice to have. My mom has them on her Civic and I just have the brightest standard bulbs in my Volvo, huge difference. Can't wait to see how this car turns out!

  4. My brother also used a heat gun to soften that deadening material up. Kinda the opposite direction of dry ice (which also worked well for him) but it worked pretty well. I don't know what one would cost you over there but we picked one up for ten bucks, I might consider giving that a go =)

  6. Thanks Tyler I also considered that, I have a blow dryer I could just use that for it. We will see though.

    Im changing the fenders, I would rather have miscolored stock fenders than these giant ass fenders with matching paint. I wont have the money to buy wheels to fill them so I don't want them. They are expensive fenders though so I should be able to actually make a little money off them.

    Yea Todd I changed all the lighting on my 240 back home, I know it makes a difference but since this isn't a daily I don't care much, I might just need a new buld so we will see.

    Jaguhautoworks, I couldnt even find purple paint today thats the problem lol.. but I am changing them for sure now.
