Re: No more bugeye for blkbugeye

I too have a 05 PSM....I dislike those rotas but I want your fogs! :)
Re: No more bugeye for blkbugeye

Looks good man, I've always PSM in the 04-05 chassis
Re: No more bugeye for blkbugeye

A few things:

- Put that radiator cap on the radiator, not the coolant reservoir.
- Those SVNs are 18x8.5, not 18x8.
- JDM tails are the same as USDM. You can swap the bulb locations on USDMs and they light up identically.
- Replace those struts and tophats ASAP!
- Sway bars!

Yea its a good color for the car.

A few things:

- Put that radiator cap on the radiator, not the coolant reservoir.
- Those SVNs are 18x8.5, not 18x8.
- JDM tails are the same as USDM. You can swap the bulb locations on USDMs and they light up identically.
- Replace those struts and tophats ASAP!
- Sway bars!
-I plan on it when Im not lazy
-Cool, I wasn't sure what size they were exactly
-The JDMs don't have the side reflectors, and only have 2 red bulbs. The center slot is blank. I had them from my bugeye, that's why I threw them on.
- For the last two, its all in the works, once funds become available.

Thanks for the input!!
