what are your homeade upgrades?

stuff youve done to make your car your own or just to save money? i've got the v-tec indicator light and i painted the needles on my gauges.

YOU PAINTED THE NEEDLES ON YOUR GUAGES!!!:eek: :eek:

How did you manage that?! I'm scared to put in indiglo guages for fear of screwing up the needles and you painted them!!. Dang!

Anyway, custom stuff I got some of, but homemade stuff, ummm not much, lets see.... I armoralled the engine bay, trunk, cabin, and outside with the same bottle so all the black in the car matches:) I would like to paint the vents, shifter, e-brake, and door controls red, but just havn't gone and got the stuff to do it yet. I got mudguards, a spoiler, rims, and a stereo that are all added on, plus I removed the front splashguard cuz it scraped all the curbs I pulled up to. I got a DAC dc sports intake. But homemade, no, I do not think so, just a rubber band that goes around the E-brake:D

i did grills...will post up some pic later

I painted my own door handles, area around the license plate, mirrors, CF'ed the gauge cluster like in this pic (I don't have the spoon gauges and the painted needles, but you get the idea)

Still working on a lower lip, but this is not looking like it should.

Painted my grille. That's about it for now :)

Well.. first thing I did was paint the H on the steering wheel.

I made my own cold air intake, well not really but close enough, and I'm thinking on painting my valve cover.

constructed my own cold air intake

painted some interior and exterior trim

painted the gauge bezels a la BMW style

DIN size V-AFC mount and face plate

ECU OBD II reprogram switch mounted on faceplate described above

next will be a fully homemade turbo system

I painted my coplete interior(except carpet headliner and pillars..) black and white(more black than white), mesh grill in bumpers and hood grill, made clear bumper lights, made my own white gauges, thats all I can think of right now, I know I've done more though....
