Hey guys,
My name is James and I am from Sydney Australia and am going to convert my current 1997 SX into an SS-III (some things may say the same due to preference). To start off my car is sadly in the workshop after I had a minor crash after the car understeared  so currently I have a limited amount of money due to repairs, which I'm sure some of you understand haha. None the less I have bought a few things that i will be adding once the car is back in my hands  These include: JDM Tail Lights: $190 AUD (Including Postage) - From JoshuaM  OEM Fog Lights: $49 USD + $56 USD for postage - From Ebay  3 Part TRD Front Strut Brace: $410 AUD (Including Postage) - From JoshuaM  OEM Side Skirts: $25 AUD (Need to pick up)  GT-Four/SS-III WRC Spoiler/Wing: $80 AUD (Need to pick up)  SS-III Rear Splitters: $180 AUD + $30 AUD postage - From JoshuaM  SpreeLED Full Dash Conversion Kit (Blue): £24.99  Will have to prepare some of what I have bought (Re-paint and sand) but when all done should look great! Will keep all you 6GC members updated I hope enjoy, awesome things on their way!

Your gauge cluster looks awesome! I need to look into getting a custom gauge cluster myself. As for the engine bay, the mushroom blue filter would give it some color as well as painting the strut brace. I would also consider purchasing SokieTech hood struts. You can find them on eBay and they work great.

Yeah I am really happy with the look of the cluster, should definitely look at getting one and I'm having second thoughts on painting the TRD brace since it will take away some of its value? but all the rest is still definitely going ahead I'll have a look at the hood struts now
