So I've been on here a while , lurking and posting. I figured since I've done a lot to my car when I first got it stock I should finally make one of these...
Engine Mods:
- Cordova Optimized Throttle Body
- Grounded TB
- AEM SRI w/ a K&N filter
- TB Coolant Bypass Mod
- AWR 70 duro Wishbone Mount
- Tanabe Concept G Medallion Exhaust
Interior Mods
- Sylflex Auxmod w/ Monster 3.5mm cable
- Blue LED dome lights
- Red LED door lights
- 15% Tint (front) 25% (back)
The ones I got were from eBay. I just made sure to test them out before baking open my headlights. Sure enough there was one halo DOA. Now I just need to get eyelids to cover up that gap & nasty looking wiring.
Angel Eyes are all over the place. If you know the size of the rings,
you can order them individually, or order sets from vendors. I did this
mod on my Hyundai Tiburon, and remember the PITA it was. Just not
looking forward to it again.
How much did it cost you for the side skirts, rear bumper and spoiler? I'm trying to see how much it'll cost me. I got a base 6i but the previous owner put on the sports front bumper.

Well I received the rear bumper from another member who sold it to me. I got my sideskirts on eBay for about 180. I do have a pair of tungsten gray skirts for sale in the classifieds for cheap. I also got the spoiler from eBay for about 150.
I'd have to say I paid around 8-900 for everything.
Good luck with the conversion! It's well worth it.
Niiice. I bought my 6 stock also, and I'm looking to do the same to mine as you did to yours. How long/how much did it take for you to go from stock to the way it is now?

Ummm I've had my 6 for about a year and a half now and started to mod it about 8 months ago.
Every time I get paid, all my extra money goes to mods lol Overall for everything, I've spent a little over 2k. The mods haven't stopped yet though. All my friends tell me that I'm addicted. I tell them that I agree lol
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! I'm always here (almost too much IMO) to help my fellow members.
im picking my 6 up on Friday I have a TL currently that is modded... im going to mod my 6 too just need to look at the DIYs for painting the housings and doing clear/tinted sidemarkers ETc....
nope, these are just the stock ones with the aluminum finish. I DID see an RX-8 with the shinka edition wheels today on the road and they did look pretty hot, even though I'm not a fan of chrome.
Here's the only side pic I have. The caliper paint is starting to flake off I'll take a better one later on and update the OP

very clean, its definately one of the best first gens ive seen. im suprised at how good the halos look and the rx8's on there look great too. very good job
After 6 hours the coilovers were finally installed. Main reason it took so long was because there were no directions and I am not very mechanically savvy.
First Impressions:
-stiff, but retains stock comfort (if that makes sense)
-they’re very pretty aesthetically
-great price point for those...
Thought I would create this thread to share the things I have done and will do to my 6 and hopefully get some tips or suggestions as well.
The things the car still needs:
Front seats (both were torn when I bought it)
A complete paint job (just look at some of the pictures...its rough) COMING...
How about a thread where we can post our BEST photo of our 6.
Just one photo each, I am sure we all have several good ones, but pick your favourite one.
A small amount of text if necessary, but PLEASE, dont get into "wow, those rims are nice where did you get em", or " what type of grill is...
I figured since it's getting colder and I can have the wagon in the garage, I'd start in with the stuff I have planned. First up was painting the plastic grille pieces. I started with the main one since it's the most challenging, and to make sure I have enough paint at least for that one. I had...
As of May 18th, I'm now the proud owner of a 2018 GT Reserve. Deep Crystal Blue with Black interior. :)
It turns out that it's currently the only 6 in upstate NY with the model/color combo, it had to be transplanted to me from Buffalo. 3 days and over 200 miles later, the smile has gone...
