Thanks for the support guys. I will have it on the road as soon as the weather breaks. Also it will be out to the Quickfish car show this June......(you are all invited as it's the first show that my club is hosting) Show spots are limited, so I will post up the preregistration info for those who are interested and close enough to come. :D

Wow, I guess that tail light mod is getting popular.

I did mine with a gloss black-painted chassis, helped give it than FC Rx-7 look, as well as a darker, tinted look, without being tinted. I did my corner lights in the same manner for the faux-tint look, while not affecting legality or the light brightness.

I used a dremel and took off the lenses off the altezzas, no point having a lense behind a lense, but the reverse one I dont remember doing anything with it, nor did I have any fitament issues with it. I also did scrap the grey plastic piece. I wanted to do as John did, but I said screw it, lol.

A plug and play ms2 popped up on clubprotege and I had to snag it. Here are it's stats: built by MD323. MS2 v3.0 with a base tune on it for a stock BPT. Has idle control, VAF delete, launch control, a/c control, and multiple fan outputs. :D

Congrats on the "baby-to-be". I will be repainting the sides black. Also, I need to add a piece of flat steel on the underside of the skirts. As you can see in the pics it wants to bow in the hot sun :?
