Still on my to-do list:
-Repaint front bumper
-Replace stock speakers
-Possibly add a CD player
-Tune-up

 

Here is a better pic of the fogs:

They are more yellow than the corners, but I wanted that. I'm liking them, are you?

 

The lower models didn't come with a Passenger side mirror. Mine doesn't have one. I know in California you are only required to have one if you have rear tint (which i do). Otherwise its completely optional.

 

Here is a pic of my car that my buddy sent to me with it sitting next to his bike:

I'm also looking for a roof rack. Can someone give me some info on them and let me know what I need to be looking for?

 

If everything goes according to plan, my front bumper will get repainted gloss black tomorrow.

 

Also, two of my $.05 hubcaps have come off and I can't find them. I might pick up another set tomorrow. I hope the next ones stay on better

 

I like the progress you are making. That bumper is looking deadly. I had this same issue when my car was yellow. Those rubber bumpers that don't come painted from the factory don't like paint to stick.

I stripped down my bumper using bulldog bumper stripper if I remember correctly. I picked it up at a local autopaint dealer. Made the stripping much easier.

Also, I would recommend using some bumper adhesion promoter when you paint.

As for roof racks, thule or Yakima would be the way to go. They are a little expensive, but if you watch craigslist you can usually pick them up for the 200 dollar range.

 

Today I added new hubcaps and painted the front bumper. I'll add pics tomorrow when I get to a computer. Now I'm hoping the hubcaps stay on and the paint sticks.

That makes a ton of difference. Looks MUCH better.
