Did and Done: My car

This was my plan

And this is what happened!

Pretty close!

Also, the second picture has skirts and door caps added in - those don't actually exist at the moment.

I'm confused, Did you repaint your car?
If so, Looks really clean. Love the black roof & window trim detail. All you need is some Crystal clear headlights.

Thanks! Yeah, new headlights are planned, to match the crystal JDM corners I have (in the pics I have the fluted JDM corners). I've been looking into Q45 gatlings, but it's getting kind of overdone. We'll see.

Brandon, you really think I should do the mirrors? The roof is actually root beer coloured, and I was going to redo it next year with a brighter flaked out colour, so I dunno about matching the mirrors to the roof in that case :S

Fitment is good, real good. As they say, lacking a simple kit to pull it off and it's going to be TIGHT!

I think the mirror's might give it a euro style look to it, but also believe it will make it pop more. Little Details.

I really like it. Removing the door molding, adding those skits and painting your handles made a big difference :biggthumpup:

LOWER!

looks good though. I think you shouldn't pain the mirrors. May look to much like a TC at that point.

Over winter, I'll at least sort out the skirts and some sort of front bumper, new headlights, and some proper rear fenders. That's about it.

I want to get my 240 on the road now, this car can wait =)

We don't have Scion up here so I didn't get the TC references... there's only a couple in town. I didn't realize they had a black roof from the factory. I'm definitely going to have to switch up the colour now :D

Maybe that'll be one last project before winter

It was the Mirror's base I was thinking of. Still looks good. They are black. I thought the mirrors were black to for some reason.

Yeah, it's a Protege.

I don't have any better pics because my car is always dirty, and by the time I'm done cleaning it after work, the sun is gone!
