    **update** - Euro Ellips/Grills - "after" pictur

    Hey, what do you know, more pictures of the LMR325is. But I've actually not posted pictures in a LONG time. Just wanted to show everyone the upgrade. (No before/after shots yet, need to still be adjusted)

    I'm thinking about euro trim....to replace sidemarkers, and broken rear side trim. What is everyone's thoughts???













    High beams. :twisted:




    Gotta love the cutout to change the wedge bulb. 8)


    other update pictures:

    Cool shot of the drilled airbox.

    My old Alpine CD - notice white letters/numbers.

    New green/amber blends better with the interior lights......got from sister's totalled Acura. :D (Also more power 50wx4 versus 45wx4, and rotarty volume knob, not buttons.....all the buttons ACTUALLY work. :))

    Besides euro trim, I was thinking about smoked turn signals, and replacing that damn driver side foglight!!!! Hopefully euro plate a friend says I can have, and maybe one day an IS lip/splitter.....but my ride is low

      Looks good. What paint did you use on the grilles? I have some that are in great physical shape... but just need to be 'freshened up'. You go the 'non-smiley' euro ellips from Greg? I'm looking to get some soon also; I like them a lot better thanthe smiley ones. I'd definitely smoke the turns and get some euro trim. That'd look awesome. And jump on the IS lip and splitter!

        thanks guys.

        Duplicolor Bumper Coating. I got some close ups/pictures with flash to show off how good they look. Really nice product.

        Yes, those are the non-smileys from Greg. My euro parts whore.

        And I forgot to add pictures to show "before"


        Not quite as cool.

              I'm interested to see how that paint you used will hold up to fading and rock chips.

              Where did you buy it?

                  It was used on the black-out center grill and has done well. It is slightly rubberized, right Rob? So it helps with chips, I believe.

                    I'm a smiley guy myself, but I goots say it looks good. The fresh black of your grilles really makes your bumper trim look faded. I say go for new euro trim and eliminate that problem!!!!

                      I love the lights. I am thinking about selling my smileys to buy the non smiley euros. I want them bad!

                        looks good, but your car needs a bath and wax bad.

                            They have 2 things... A mini eyebrow, and openings in the top to access the city lights.

                            The mini eyebrow is best seen here


                            Look at that compared to your stock grilles, you'll see the difference.
