nightkast1111's 98 GT ...

[Nightkast1111]

I've been a member of the site for quite a while now and never opened up a member ride for myself. I guess I'll just start out with the car the day I brought it home.

Blacked out headlights and didnt like the chrome on the wheels so they had to go black too:

Then the Suspension arrived:

Then we had a little accident:

After that I decided that since it was gonna be ripped apart anyway we might as well make it look nice when its put back together. So this is how it sits today:

Thats all I have for now, I'll keep it updated as I do more work.

What do you think?

nice.. what eibach springs are you running.. WRX springs? Cause brand new eibachs are basically unheard of.. where you score those from?? Lookin good man! Keep the headlights clear.. they look better then blacked out.

[iampetro]

yes blacked out headlights is just a bad idea...

love the car and what you've done, too bad you couldn't get a GT bumper cause with the scoop it would look WAY better

[dplacencia]

You should paint the center caps black too. The GT front bumper would make the front end look really good....

[Nightkast1111]

Thanks for the input all. Yes the blacked out headlights were a terrible idea.

Also I will be installing hela projector fogs on this bumper and a jdm front lip. Hopefully that's pulls the look together better

[Huffer]

The GT front bumper would make the front end look really good....

He already had one... then the accident. That's my guess from the pics anyway.

That wrx scoop looks great on it, A gt bumper or nice lip would set it off but looks great so far

[Nightkast1111]

Yup, had the gt bumper but as you can see, that one got destroyed. So I just got the "L" bumper and I'm gonna get a jdm lip thrown on there as soon as I get it.

[Navi271]

Those L front lips are a rare and hard to find piece! I got one FINALLY and still waiting to paint it. Always watch those classified sections for stuff like that...

[Nightkast1111]

I know, I finally found one in te classifieds and I'm waiting for him to find a box to ship it

[Grafton]

like your painted gt wheels, can you post a full side pic of them?

[Nightkast1111]

A I'll post a pic when I get home
