Cyberstork LED dash lights

As much as i like the OEM dash lights in the FTO, it is still pre 2000 technology. Now a days its all about LED.

As not much is available in the UK for FTO, i decided to get some proper JDM FTO Leds from Japan.

Cyberstork LED:


Before: OEM dash lights



After: Cyberstork LED dash lights

Just a brief summary update to date ^_^ Part1

Since Kuro had a new body respray, i haven't had the time to do any updates at all, so this one will be a quick run through.

2nd day after driving home.



First mod after getting the respray.

1) Very rare, OEM optional mitsubishi accessory. FTO Knee Pad 
 2) JDM style, clip-on digital clock

Install: 



The following morning was kind of dry n kind of wet lol, but i decided to play around with my new SLR. Just trying to play with settings so i know what to use next time i want to get a certain effect ^_^.







Then when night time came, i decided to install my new dash LEDs but before that, it was just irresistible not to take some pictures hehe:

Project-F Matte Black FTO DE3A

A super long awaited update. Today finally marks another great chapter for my FTO's story. From what it was to how it is now! Since my teen years, my dream car was the FTO, i swore one day i would buy a brand new one (till i found it wasn't a UK car but an import and only used ones available). never the less, my dream came true and i finally bought one. I've spent countless hours, days, weeks, months and years to truly make it my own, and give the car its own sense of character. A companion that will get me from A to B, never letting me down.

This is my FTO: 

Part1 - Doing my research i shopped around like any other person would getting quotes regarding a Matte Black respray. Now we all know the colour is flat and does not require extra work or paint like metallic or others. Usually the price should be in the region of 700 up to 1500. Most traders on the FTOOC quoted me starting £1500 and Fullyloadedcars wanted £2500 starting lol. Defo nono. So i fired off an email to Dave @ Pro-bodyworx. He came back with a very nice price that met my budget.

So i decided even though i'd have to drive from London to Nottingham which is about 140 miles (3 hour drive) and not be able to watch the progress in person, it still saved me lots of money

Part 2 -  Left the car for a week now and here is the progress.





















 no particular reason, just thought you might need a energy boost, to carry on absorbing my update haha.
