thnx, I appreciate comments.

Havent decided as of yet if Im gonna part the GXL out or not. If it runs, might just try to flip it.

flip it, make a few bucks for your current project.

after putting the first light back together I realized I should have kept that black piece in there as to not show the tag light. So I had to re-open the light and reinstall the black piece, argh, lol. Live n learn. The effort was well worth the reward.

BTW: I have a set of s5 lights for sale now if anyones interested.

have done a good bit of stuff since last update.

maxed out the camber on the Ksport coilovers and lowered the front another 3/4". It now sits proper as the front was a lil too high previously. Much Much better!!

Mounted an s13 240sx lip onto the car the other day and drove around for a bit to make sure its gonna be stable and everything good. Took it back off today and gonna wait til I get some skirts before I put it back on. So the OEM strip is back on in the meantime.

Installed autometer water temp gauge. Really didnt wanna pull the pump off the car because "if something can go wrong...." and everything is fine right now, lol. So I instead used an in-line adaptor in the upper radiator hose for the temp sensor and mounted the gauge in an a-pillar pod. It sits low and out of the way as to not draw more attention.

Pulled the rust-free hatch off my GXL parts car and installed it on the driver. I already have the switch from the GXL in the cluster so it has controls to it, but I can't for the life of me find the plug that is "supposed" to be in the harness according to members on the "other" forum. But in the mean time, the wiper arm makes for a great handle to aid in opening the hatch, lol.

Should have updated pics soon. Should've take some with the s13 lip on but I can mock it up for some pics if I really wanna.

Also located and replaced a leaky caliper on the pass. rear. Of course, pulled it from the parts car (this parts car idea is proving invaluable!). Of course had to bleed the brakes after that was done, but I also performed a fluid flush in the process.
