New exterior
Monday, October 27, 2008 5:16 PM
So i was working on getting my type j kit on today (thanks furious2.2) and decided to post some pics. Notice i also swapped to a 2000 trunk recently. As of now only the front is on. i welded a hanger on my bumper mount on the rear so im waiting til friday when i have access to a welder to put on the rear and redo my exhaust. can i get some feedback???

Should have left the LS Sport front on it. Type-J kits dont work on 03-05.

not a fan of the type J especially on the 03-05.

the fitment is ok, some slight issues to work out, but nothing major at all.

looks like a decent install. post up some more pics when you get the rear on.

The type J on the 03-05 reminds me of this:

And why is that? I want to be unique. There are J's everywhere and i wanna stand out a little. My car is almost paid off and I'm not getting another for a long time. I love my car and with it's reliability, economy, and overall bang for buck, it's far from garbage in my book. Now, if you dont like the way i made it look i can understand that. Its your own opinion. But I'm gonna put the rest of the kit on, and I'm gonna love it. Thanks for your input. Now I know some people will hate it.





And I'll post pics with the rear on soon. My 24hour shift got moved to wednesday, so I'm gonna try to put the rear on today. After i pick up the sides on friday the whole kit should be on by the weekend.

Yeah it took me all day to get it to line up correctly. I made a bracket for the top to hold it up to the hood. The bumper has holes there but there wasnt anyhting to bolt it to. I think it came out very clean considering it was used.

whisker biscuit, so ur a bow hunter eh? I'm not crazy about the new front bumper, but it's not about what I want, it's about what you want. If we all conformed, we'd all have the same car, wouldn't we?

I think he was referring to the garage itself...

The kit looks good, the front just needs some mesh.

I really like the type j kit on the 03-05's, looks hott imo; i almost bought a 02 cavy coupe with a full type j kit, 18's lowered etc, and the car looked hott, but there were other issues and the car fell through, but i do love that front on your car, looks really good in silver as well; and if you did paint the middle black like some suggested, would even be hotter, looks good man; keep it up.

well guys i'm thinking about only running the type j front. the rear isnt really working for me and doesn't look as good as i thought it would. I'm definetly keeping the front though, just cuz im not a fan of the stock front.



Re: New exterior

not a fan of the front but the stock dosent look badd if you remove the grill piece. im with you on the type j rear im not a fan of it.

ok guys even though im sure nobody cares im gonna update. I put the LSS rear back on and added big sti style fog lights up front and smoked altezzas to the rear. Can i get some input on the fogs? i'm debating putting them in the middle instead of the sides where i have them now.







Re: New exterior
