well so far i put in yellow fog lights, yellow corner lights, smoked out my tail lights and my corner lights and half of my bumper lights (waiting for more paint), intake, B&M short shifter. I'm waiting on my suspension and upper strut bar, i plan on ordering HIDs, a cutout valve and an ionic dynamics front lip. My bumper is all chipped from an accident i had but i'm going to paint that when i get my front lip. What do you think?

95 or 96? ah?

Yea. I like the reverse DTM mod you can do on those... However. I would do a 97-99 grill convert for you next mod... imo...

O and don't get an Ionic dynamics front lip... Get everything else Ionic dynamics(side skits, rear Flairs) but not the front lip. This is because it is only made out of Fiberglass and it will break with ease if you hit it. Even the same for Carbon fiber version. If your gonna get a front lip make sure it is Urethane one. Stillen makes these kits and lips... They are little more $ but really worth it as Urethane is practilly unbreakable and lasts forever.

O and keep in mind, with any lip kit or any body kit for that matter. They only look good with Rims and maybe dropped a little. IF you keep small rims on there it will not look great.

Hope this helps...

Looks great. I also really like the lights.

Great advice on the front lip too. I had a fiberglass splitter on the front, and a curb later, it was done.

so you think i should get rims before the lip? your probably right, i just need to find a good deal on rims. my suspension should be coming in soon within a week or so that should give me a 1.5 inch drop. can i make a 97 grill fit? in a 96.

The first thing I ever did to my Max was to replace the front sway bar and end link bushings with the Energy Suspension bushings. Energy Suspension also offers various other bushings for the A32.

The ES bushings offer a far superior feel compared to the stock bushings of an eight to ten year car.
