Default Plethorics Hatch

Im just going to use this thread as the update thread from now on. I plan on doing quite a bit to it and dont want to make a new thread for everything. So here it is after I put the new grill on it. Put on the Skunk2 cam seals too but couldnt really get a picture of those that wasnt blurry.

Im not sure about the side markers, the guy gave them to me with the car so I just went ahead and put them on there. Ill keep the updates coming. I have a lot of plans for the motor, not a whole lot I can do to the exterior since Ive already got it about where I want.

Since Ive had it ive put on...

Rota C8's polished and painted them back
Sumitomo 205/40/16s
Skunk2 Cam seals
Side Markers
Random Interior pieces it was missing
Slave Cylinder (twice)
Lots of re-wiring to fix odd lighting problems
Type R style Grill

It's oxidation on the inside of the lense due to a factory defect in the headlight seals.

This is correct, it is on the inside. I am just waiting and getting a new headlight, the tabs on it broke after the hit and run when I first got the car. It stays in place, but I will have a new headlight, front bumper, and probably drivers fender sometime. Im only waiting because as soon as I buy one, one will pop up in pull a part...always happens to me.
