PaulO's 5G Sedan. updates 3/9/13

[mirage6evo]

Shade i am genuinely jealous of your coupe.

[s.gaspar]

why did you change your username foolio?!?!

[PaulO]

Thanks man!
but yours is so much cooler! I want a DOHC 64
And it runs! Mine just sits there and looks pretty but isn't getting me anywhere I am not the great car guy but I don't even have anywhere to work on it or take it apart even if I wanted to. So it's just sitting there for now

Scott, idk. I got tired of the username I made when I was 15 lol. Ide much rather people just know me by my first name. Plus Merrill asked me why I didn't just change my username the other day and I was just like hmmm...never thought of it

[mirage6evo]

Okay then Paul, lol
My car needs some body work. Yours looks good sitting there where as mine looks all chipped up and needs exterior work and wheels.

[PaulO]

CRAIGSLIST! I love CL for wheels. Scored the ones on the sedan new in box for 200 and the white ones for 150+my bottlecaps.
never pay retail
I had to paint both, the first set was like 50-60 and the second set was like 25 because I had supplies from last time.

Trust me it's far from perfect. The roof, wing and part of the quarter panels need a respray and it has a faded front end because of so many rock chips.
plus the passenger side has a bunch of dings from parking lots.

I just try to take good shots after a wash and try hiding the ugly. But yea, deff could use some work aswell.

[mirage6evo]

Lol. Wish I could. No one where sells wheels on CL and plus I have a set in store just spending the money on other things for the car. It will come eventually. Either way man I love both of your cars

[james_colt]

Nice coupe

[PaulO]

Aww man that sucks

May I ask what kind of wheels?

Thanks, I feel like the sedan doesn't get nearly as much attention as the coupe, I should have some updates on the weekend

EDIT: LOL
i was going to post this and that coupe comment comes up. Haha.

Thanks for the comment James

[PaulO]

Got a few updates!


didn't show you guys the JDM sun visors, sun glass holder, Added an LS maplight that Merrill gave me, changed my whole headliner because mine was crap and I had a spare laying around and a roof...
Oh! and added my JDM fog lights and rear reflectors.

sorry for the crappy pic ill get a better one










AFTER!



random shot I liked

[PaulO]

Pretty exciting only things I need for the exterior are the LS sedan side skirts which I just need color matched and my 3rd/rear bumper fog light which I need to install one of these days and my exterior is done!

Only things I can see myself getting eventually are the JDM shorty bumpers and deff another set of wheels. I already know which ones I want
15x8 +25 are the specs.

[mirage6evo]

Loveeeee it!

[Dooly]

That map light is the tits!
Damn it, did your OEM front bumper come with the fog light mounting poles? I'm starting to get pissed that I can't find any!!!

[PaulO]

Thanks guys!

No, actually it's not OEM, I'm going to take a wild guess and say that all the replacement bumpers have the mounting poles.
My hood, fenders, bumper aren't OEM I didn't notice till the first time I took the front end apart.
I have no clue as to why? I've gone up and down the whole car, it's a clean title and every line matches up like it should. I honestly have no idea why they were replaced
To the best of my knowledge the car has never seen an accident or at least anything major. everything is where it should be

[Dooly]

My front bumper is aftermarket. No poles to be found.

[PaulO]

That is so weird! I didn't put them on right away because I thought it was OEM and I don't think any of the OEM bumpers have the poles. when I took it off to do the lip/fender braces I was like "WHAT IS THIS?!"

[jof_03]

Love it. It's clean and simple

[chris mitsuman]

Car is looking great!

[MERRILL]

What a piece of crap. Who the hell puts a deluxe map light in their non sun roofed sedan. What a loser.... >shame<

I like it though!

[PaulO]

Thanks guys.

And that map light is awesome haha

[AlchEm1st]

This has to be the shittiest car I've ever seen. I would know, I'm a fabricator.

I seriously LOL'D! Car's looking sweet Paul!

[BlackDragon]

Im loving this car as you keep going. What are you dropped on? And how was the fitment of the cf trunk when you ordered it? Is it a VIS?

[PaulO]

Custom set up by Merrill/Merrill Performance. Coilover sleeves and modded shocks.

Well it fits like anything that isn't OEM. But it's not a big deal. It's pretty close.
I didn't order it from vis but it is Vis. I bought it from Chris (chris mitsuman)
You'll need the jdm latch in order to use it tho. You can get one through JDM candy/Joellen/Dare2 Dream or Japperformance

[BlackDragon]

I just heard stories about some aftermarket parts fitting like total crap. Wasnt sure how well the VIS fit. Ill check out japperformance.... not seen that site yet.

[tcha87]

Your car looks great. Everything is clean and the wheels are the ones i've always been wanting.

[PaulO]

Thanks man, i'm probably going to ditch them next year to get some 15x8's +25 for a wider tire, and agressive fitment.
debating getting spacers, so far 10mm for the front and 5mm for the rear. Any suggestions what a good spacer brand/size is? So far going with H&R for the front's if I do 15mm. My current wheel is +40mm

Anywho, washed the car and polished it. Snapped two quick pics after work
Enjoy

[BlackDragon]

Soooooooooooo sexy! I love it!

[biggdowz]

love your cars and the house

[AlchEm1st]

Looking good!

[PaulO]

Thanks guys, just fyi. Not my house
I wish, I live in one of the back houses.

So I put this on but I'm not too sure how I feel about it.
Thinking of color matching the bezel, like the evo that made me want one in the first place.
Thoughts?

[PaulO]

I need an exhaust desperately
