there are no aftermarket BG tailights. only the JDM double light ones.
if you search around there's a thread on making custom ones for the BG

there are a few bodykits that are available from carmate. although their customer service on some accounts leaves something to be desired... Rupewrecht's JDM Parts is a better option but as his customer service is much better

Hiya, nice tidy bg you've got, rims suit it well. If you're planning on getting your Ps in it it'd be wise to keep the mods on the subtle side, and lol stay the hell away from cannons.

i got a nice exhaust second hand off a member from the site here on my BG astina and it sounds great.
I suggest you save up some dosh and go to an exhaust shop, get a header back or catback exhaust done with 2.25' mandrel bend piping (others correct me if im wrong, but IMO 2.25 should be about right for the 1.8) add onto that a long resonator or sports resonator (hell even a hotdog) then through to a twin tip style sports muffler (stock looking) should sound nice and keep everything looking nice and stock. I get SO much less attention than when i had one of those stupid drainpipes on my old laser, and it sounds SO much better. the cannons have a horrid drone sound and also look quite naff on most cars nice BG though. i wish i had the SP version |

If you're interested, I'm thinking of selling my catback 2.25" exhaust off the SP, maybe the headers too. The reason being, I managed to give myself tinnitus (ringing in the ears) at a concert. As I work late nights, the exhaust makes the car loud enough to make the ringing more noticeable just in time to go to sleep, and I'd prefer a good night's sleep over the exhaust's performance benefits.
It's kind of an annoying decision to have to make, as I absolutely love the sound of the car driving around the city, just this deep throaty revving sound. Makes a mad sound if you floor it! It doesn't drone unless you drive it at highway speeds, and then it's not too bad unless you're going up hills. Let me know if you're interested and I'll look into getting a quieter one sooner so this one's off the car. |
