Default MK4Sup_isF/Mr2envi SFP isF build!!!!!!!!

I guess it is a good time for me to start my build's thread. I picked up my 08 SFP early May 2013. The mod bug bit me instantly!!

When I bought her, bone stock with minor scratches all around the front and rear

Week 1: placed my order for BC coils with Switf springs
Week 2: LED headlights installed all by myself. 4+ hrs of sweat. Mostly because of removing the ballasts from my old headlights

Week 3: Went to friend's shop to check if I can throw these wheels on the car

Week 4: Picked up Meisterschaft exhaust and Sikky headers setup
Week 6: Got my Meisterchaft exhaust and Sikky headers installed by my good friend's Jeevey at ETL Garage in Pomona.

Had to replace all 4 sensors because they refused to comeout without stripping. I love this set up!!!!! Sound clips soon

ISFpat and ISFsam came out to chill with me during the installation.

Also picked up the Tom's full kit. I'll get the fenders rolled/shaved. Then on it's way to the paint shop. To repaint the front and rear bumpers, front fenders, hood, and sideskirts. Those panels are full of minor dings and scratches that bugged the hell out of me. Tom's kit will be installed also.

Coilovers should be here by Friday, will install as soon as the car is back from paint!

Week 7: At my friend's wheel shop to get the rear fenders shaved plus a slight pull. Off to the bodyshop tomorrow for paint

Week 8: Here she is freshly out from the bodyshop with Tom's kit on!!!!

So I took her from the bodyshop to my buddy's garage, ETLgarage, immediately. We got BC coilovers with Swift springs, SPC camber arms and ball joints, and rear F-sport sway bar all installed at the same time.

Here is how she looks after the installation. I had to raise her up about 1/2" when I got home so I can safely back into my garage LOL!!

Picked up my front diffuser from the bodyshop yesterday. I had it paint matched with SFP. I might be the first be brave enough to paint over the carbon fiber LOL. I had the sides of the diffuser left in carbon to have some contrast. Personally, I love it!

Great mods! Looking forward to the sound clips. Will you also be rolling at the same place you got the header and exhaust installed?

Sweet! It's going to look sick when they're mounted. The concave will stand out nicely.

I'm waiting on coilovers to put them on. Our cars are going to be like twins soon!

Yep, my rear tires are almost bald. I really need to get those coilovers so I can throw these wheels and new tires on!!
