Got the euro goodies on yesterday!

I have had the euro lights and bumpers sitting for some time and decided that my new purchase "Sasha" was worthy to wear them! It took me and my boy most of the day to get everything installed but it was well worth the work I am very happy with the way it turned out. Here's a few pictures.

I took it for a drive last night and was Very impressed with how well the euro headlights work...plus when I get some time I will install the vacuum adjust switch! Here's a few more pics.







Let me know what you think!

Nice. Those streets sure remind me of Driggs or Victor. My wife's family is from Jackson and we always drive over to Driggs to get a Huckleberry shake whenever we're there. Oh, I like to get a beer at Otto Brothers too but that's another story! Have fun!

Perfect! Looks just as it should.

The close-up of the hitch... maybe something from www.thatsnutz.com is in order

Thanks guys appreciate it! Some reason I can't use the multi quote option?

Fattyman........close I live in Soda Springs not sure if it would be on your way through or not.

sixto.......my oldest son keeps saying the same thing......

cirrusman...Thanks!

alfa 75.....Thanks, I love the look and intend to try the hitch out!

rudolfgreen.......Thanks Adam none if this would of been possible without you! That's funny you mention that about the wheels, that is my next project!

panZZer...Thanks......I know the wheels are 16*8.5 but I will see if I can get an offset for you and get you the size of the tires as well.

Thanks again guys I love this car and hope to keep improving on an already awesome ride!

Justin

Love it! This is a great upgrade. I hope you don't get to test those Euro bumpers.

I swapped to Euro bumpers before but decided to go back to the US versions.
