So about a couple weeks ago i got into an accident and have to replace my whole front end, i almost have all the parts just need a couple more things then i can get it fixed and repainted and since it will look like a brand new car might as well make some more changes lol heres a few things i plan on doing, car already has a bit done but these were the next modifications i had always planned

Replace gaskets and seals
mishimoto radiator, hoses and thermostat
Type R pistons
Type R camshafts
275cc injectors
AEM fuel rail
Walbro Fuel Pump
password JDM Carbon Fiber intake
skunk 2 front and rear strut bars
Drilled & Slotted Rotors
retrofit headlights
rsx black leather front seats and gsr black leather rear seats (i currently have full grey leather)
new type r front lip

yeah, 2 guy at lexus did body work for years one of them longer then how long ive been alive lol hes just been waiting for me to get the parts, he has stuff at his house to do body work (dont remember the names of some of the stuff) and once we get it as best we can theres a collision center next door to lexus called Robs collision and he and my dad are good friends and once we get it as good as we can hes going to do whatever tweaks need to be made so that its perfect and he wont charge me too much either, all i need is the driver fender and a windshield but basically im hoping to have a fender by thursday and then this sunday start getting that driver side straightened out and the front pulled a bit, id say a lil over half an inch it needs to be pulled judging by the way the radiator hose is but the guy whos helping first whos done it for years has a spread sheet of all the dimensions of the car for the front end. Time is an issue though because of school and work but now that its daylight savings time i can get more done. first thing im going to do to the motor though is replace gaskets and seals, car dosnt leak oil or anything but after an accident and with it just sitting there i just want the whole car to be perfect, i have OCD when it comes to my cars lol

you stole those parts, if they are oem parts and not the aftermarket and tyc headlights. i remember back in the day(6yrs ago) i spent $200 for oem bumper/headlights and i thought that was a steal! haha Might want to do a tsxR lens swap gives it more color, just a thought!

haha at $100 for the the headlights and bumper i pretty much did steal them lol the guy just wanted them gone out of his storage unit, first come first serve and i happened to be there first lol and im just keeping it a basic retro really its cheaper that way lol cant be spending too much on just my headlights when ive got to get other things first lol i just want to have proper projectors so that my HIDs are projected properly and not all over the place with stock headlights lol plus i hate the angel halo eye lights, they look ricey to me lol
