=ZebraFX= :: 2004 FX35 AWD

Work in Progress!
Looks great. I love the look of those Vossen wheels as well. Nice update.
 
I wanna see the suede interior :smug:, wheels look good btw

Will post pictures soon.

Looks great. I love the look of those Vossen wheels as well. Nice update.

Thanks. I always loved 5 spoke and concave wheels.

LOVE the FX man! Wheels look awesome, as does the rest of the car.

Thanks!

Lookin' really nice. 22"s really complete the look and set it off right. Saving up for coils next is the next best thing to do! :top:
You should come down sometime really soon for my BBK install meet now that you have your wheels on!

Thanks! Was pretty busy lately, trying to organize my schedule for the next 2 month.

Hey Z, I have some questions on your Stillen exhaust. Before you prepped the with exhaust Rustoleum, the rust was merely surface/superficial rust right? That's what I read about, its nothing major where it eats through it, just surface only. I'm comparing it to my OEM and I have surface rust all over too and it looks bad, so the Stillen can't really be worse I guess in terms of longevity and quality. Also you did not need to buy a separate Y-pipe right? From your pic, it looks like the Stillen is all one piece? I am getting really close to buying Stillen and had another Y-pipe in mind, but in your pic, it looks like you have a full setup with the Stillen.

Yes, it was only the surface rust on piping(100% sure after sanding it down). The y-pipe has been attached when I bought the exhaust, apparently it was easier for a mechanic to remove it( they did the same thing on my Infiniti dealer with the OEM exhaust, removed the y-pipe with mid pipe attached). Paint is still like new, so far the best aftermarket part I bought for my car(after sound system). :)

Installed the Morimoto 6000K bulb($45 from Retrofit Source,) to compare with probably the cheapest 6000K D2S bulb($10.97 from eBay)

Very nice! Love, these mods. We have a similar setup. 6k Moris but I have TSX-R lens. Yesterday on the highway to the meet, I was behind Andrew and he said my lens give off a constant color flicker and looks really good. Probably has a lot to do with the coils and the ride too.
 
I got them really cheap, but don't think I would spend $45 to buy them new, compare how they look vs generic $11 eBay bulbs(the light output looks the same, plus slight bluish hint on eBay ones, that looks really good in person).

Lol dude, thanks for posting this comparison. I'm definitely getting those eBay bulbs.

..and to think, I was about to spend $60 on Philips d2s bulbs

Weird.. the Morimoto bulbs look bluer than the generic when on the driver side, vice versa for the passenger side.
 
Still working on my interior(roof liner needs work:disapointed:), but here are a couple pictures of finished front bezel for Pioneer AVH-P8400BH(custom fitted) wrapped is mocha suede:

^^Yes, the only thing needs to be redone is a roof liner(I picked the wrong glue). Here are some more pictures, wrapped in suede: center console, door handles, roof liner(:bad:), A/B/C Pillars:
