Jbaker1121's FX50 updates and photo thread

Third pic down. Is that your old fx? If so looks like you didnt return it to stock all the way?

good eyes!

yes it is. Threw 20" chrome sport wheels back on for the trade. It still had the tinted tails, painted headlights and grille on it since the buyer thing fell through:tdown:

wouldve only wanted the clear. It was traded in as a Sport, which it is, so it would need the SPORT lights... My tinted ones are sport and still kind of see-thru

so Im going to order a batch of LED lights for the interior and exterior of the FX, as well as play around with the idea of yellow fogs as opposed to the usual 6000k....the yellow fogs function much better in bad weather (tested it in my boy's g37) so thats mostly the reaosn.....plus I like the look

I'm excited to follow what you plan on doing because I want to do some similar things. Can't wait especially what you decide with stereo/bass upgrades...I'm gonna be reading every detail like a hawk then cause I'm really interested in doing it myself but have heard so many stories of how to do it, what won't work, etc so I'm interested very to see how you do it and will probably follow in the same footsteps. who knows maybe even other things.
 
just installed LED license plate lights.....
makes a world of difference imo, I hate the halogen colored plate lights....

next is the city lights (white/6000k) the fog lights (yellow/2500&3000k) and the interior lighting.....and the camera-while-moving-mod.

Awesome man, I love having "follwers"
nothing serious is going to happen for a little while since I'm at school, just little things here and there, like the lights, etc. When the summer rolls around and I'm working and have time to be at shops, etc the modding will begin. Like I said, first things will be resonator delete and tinted tails/hatch light/reflectors and eventually painted headlights and maybe grille and other trims....not sure what direction I'm going yet.

as for the stereo, may re-use my old boc or get a new one made...:tup:

dam I wish we were neighbors:tears:
haha you're funny man...
Nice, does look better. Where did you get them so quickly?
yeah I cant stand halogen-colored lights......especially exterior.

This auto supply shop that specializes in muscle cars is on the strip near my school, and they carry an OK variety of LEDs, usually in domestic truck applications. I used a few from there on the 35 and they lasted, so i went back. They ordered some for me to come in tomorrow as well (the fog lights and DTRL/city) so those will be installed at the same time. :tup:
