Default Because I Am Sry About My Hoax,i Start A New Rsx Project

Ok so here it is my new RSX is a project to make up for my hoax...

This project is going to be a easy bunch of mods for looks, my car only has RS upgrades except for one that i have on the chasis ( i will unveil it except not on this thread...on another in the near future...youll see).

This will kind of be a walkthrough too.

Rules:
1.no hating on me please
2.if you dont understand something just ask
3.Im doing this for the good of the board...its long so i may make this into separate posts...im not doubleposting mods...
4. this project is going to continue for a long time...so be patient
5. most of those werent rules...

ill start with some original picsthese are stock)





then i lowered it:





That is how it looks now, this is what i do from now on...oh and i reraised it...a litlle its still lower than stock.

we will start with a prep for extra lights...:

First the back:

ok that pin seen up above will need to be broken off, that is the rear tail light cover(if you didnt know.)



here is a picture of the cover with the pin broken off.



i will explain why you do this...because then you can simply fit the bulb into that hole beside the big one where that stick went in and you have an extra light.



here is another image the hole that the extra new bulb will fit inot will be the little one to the right of the big hole...on the rsx the wire can run through the hole into your chasis and the bulb has enough room to simply sit between the hole and the cover...i did this to both sides.

Next the front:


a picture with the cover off this time you need to drill the litle hole out...because the light wont fit the same way as the back...i cant do this because i dont have acess right now...but i will do it later.



here it is wil both off...(I KANDY...lol).



this is the litlle pin that again needs to be broken off to free up that hole...(on the front however the cover will now need to be glued into place.)



here it is with the pin broken...

this will be continued on the next post...please dont post here if you see this before i post my next one...

here we go my next one...oh an i will proof read these later...



here is an image with the back after all that work...

ok so this was all prep work because i dont have a spare light kit right now so i can add all these extra lights to it so i will do that later too...

...

ok now the next thing is a cool new gas cap...

oh and you may now post comments...


i went and bought this from walmart it has lots of usefull parts..



like this part..


simply pop it out...



sand it flat and glue it on...( i dont have sand paper either so this will wait too.)



Now extra fog lights too...these came off the bike insidee the little holes in the pic above



i side mounted my license plate and put these in the middle... they will hve working lights in them when im done...

thats it for now im going to continue this probably tomorow because i will "borrow" stuff from my school to do more to this car...

but i will leave you with pics of my chasis and car:



(theres that special upgrade...)





(my hinged hood)







and i forgot to tell you that this exhausty came off that bike too...

thats it for now

Thank you B-raz

lol wow ok...ill lose the muffler and ill put the standard RSX one back on...and i tried it out a little more and either way because their ugly and because of the dificultie of the fod lights im just going to mesh the grill up Or maybe an intercooler...and add normal Led fog lights out the sides...

i also want to cut out a little area on the back of the window and make it clear and add an LED there....like where a normal sedans third light goes...

i wanted to find a way of putting it in the spoiler but thats just too hard...same with putting LED's in the side mirors...

i think thta this project will have more lights than any other xmod out there..besides a police xmod lol xmodificationer...

put the fogs behind the mesh for the grille you might have to drill the new light holes out to make it fit right

get some underglow(red maybe) and drill out the side flashers and buy orange 3mm leds too

buy from ledshoppe.com it costs less

I was looking at your "special upgrade", and I thought it looked familiar. Turns out it's off the bottom of a 1:18 model Dodge Viper's engine.
