I figured I'd start my build thread for my Manual 13 PMM EX. This is more than likely be a slow build since I have a few other "Toys" I'm working on too.







Things done so far:
ZXE Highbeam
Luxeon LED Fog Lamps
V-LED 5K 370 lumen LED reverse bulb
V-LED 5K Switchback front LED turn signals
V-LED rear amber LED turn signals
License plate LEDs
20% Window tint on the back windows and the top few inches on the windshield.
35% Window tint on the front two windows.
Honda's rear diffuser accessory
Stock Wheels with 195/55 16 Michelin Primacy Alpin PA3 Winter Set
K&N SRI
17" Kosei K1 TS Light Grey with Continental Extreme Contact DW 205/45 17 Summer Set
Rando Spoiler
T1R Downpipe
BLF Cat-Back Exhaust

Stuff in progress:
Every light on the car LED.
Audio upgrades (maybe)

Feel free to make suggestions for my car.

The Other Toys:
1988 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 package (turn into K.I.T.T from Knight Rider)

Sweet toys! Look like Epsilon wheels on your Firebird too :grin: Look forward to your updates...

They do look very similar,but they are the stock 16's on the car and they are in great shape for a 26 year old car too.

Going to try to put on the CAI this weekend but with it cold as crap and no way (at least yet) to heat the pole barn.
Like the plates! :cool:

Edit: your TireRack link shows "session expired". What wheels are you considering?
Liking the K1 TS a lot, but that's just my opinion. I see that these are closeout specials. Consider buying a 5th one, as if you ever need to replace a wheel, you might not be able to find a match If you have the room, and the funds, having 5 beats having only 3!

V3 Triton LED Switchback. In both pictures the left side are the LED's and the right side is the incandescent bulb. The pictures don't really do them justice. They are much brighter in person.

Here is what the turn signal looks like


and here is with the park lights on


Here's a closer shot

I think I found the wheels and tires that I'm going to get. It will be a few weeks before I get them. Let me know what you think. The tires are the ContinentalExtreme contact DW 205/45ZR17 and wheels are Sparco Assetto Gara.

I have the Sparco Assetto Gara (17" for Summer). I like them. They fit the Zed. Don't like cleaning them tho. Hey I'll sell u mine so I can buy BBS SR 17's! Mine are anthrocite grey.

That's something for me to think about. Not sure how much that would cost to ship. Still leaning toward the black ones to offset all the gray on the car. As for the cleaning part that doesn't bother me because it will never be as bad as the wheels on my first car the Gutless Cutlass:D (91 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 4Dr). You can send me a PM if you got a price for those wheels.

Here's a better view of my switch back led's. At night it looks like another set of low beams :thumbsup:

The switchbacks match well with your fogs.

Can you post a pic of the Tritons with the LED DRL running at the same time?

Looks amazing, do you have the part numbers for the lights that you used? I'm trying to look them up but there are so many, I just want to make sure they are the right ones. Are they plug-and-play or did you have to do any modifications?
