Thanks for the comments everyone!

For those wanting to know about the treatment on the tails, it's a simple matte clear coat. Any body shop can do this for you.

Judd, meet my driveway:


This is the only reason my car isn't slammed. Until I move, the H&R's will have to do...

This car is by no means done. This is definitely 'to be continued...'

no wonder you've been so quiet.
I'm one step ahead of you - reflectors were done with the tails!

You rock it like a **** star, Javy!!!
^Best comment EVAR.

There seems to be some confusion as to my suspension. What you're looking at are regular, out-of-the-box H&R Sport Springs. I haven't gone coilover... yet.

The exhaust tips I knew would be a polarizing element - some would love it, some would hate it. That's okay, because I really like the way they look. It was actually a spur-of-the-moment thing - Joe Z found these while we were at PTB, and next thing you know I'm test fitting them on my car. I still can't believe they fit! The rest of my exhaust is the same Tanabe axle-back system I've had for 3 years now.

Thanks again for the comments everyone!

In true javyLSU style, I installed the Brembos myself (with some help from brake-pumper extraordinaire Joe Z... ) DIY baby!




The rotors come with a protective zinc coating that gives them a gold look:


Even the styrofoam box that the calipers come in is cool...

nicely done javy! sick ride. you should find some custom trunk spoiler to put onn! also you shoulda matched the reverse light with the IS-f clear turnsignal light. the rear shot looks off to me? no?

Man, I'm not normally a fan of the modded look on our cars, but I have to say yours really looks good. Nice pics too.

The reverse lights might look a bit different because I have a lot stuffed in there... Polarg super-white reverse bulbs and the rear part of my strobe lights...
