From a few days ago:




Got some awesome things left at my front door today:

At first when I saw the brown box, with a big CPP (Classic Performance Parts, where the rotors I bought come from) logo on the side, I was excited that it was my rotors! That the CST10 would be on the road before the end of the break. Rip the box open, and it's my springs and a turnsignal lense I ordered from Classic Parts, in the CPP box. Why? Classic parts sells the CPP springs and ships them in a CPP box. Deception!

But, here are my new headlights:

They aren't normal old school sealed beams despite the looks. Their really tricky. Their made to use modern halogen bulbs, while keeping the classic looks. And also have a small running light too:

Eventually I may toss a red or orange filter on the bulb and have some trick looking lights while cruising, EVIL EYES

PC'd the headlight bezels black like stock:


And in they went!



Than off goes the 5 inch drop springs, and in goes the 3 inch drop springs:




Nice stance, a slight rake. The rear will sit a tad bit lower once the springs settle in, but other than that, it's **** close to the road!

Fixed all the exterior light problems, bunch of bad grounds and bad connectors.

And muh rotors are in.
