Default Formal introduction with PICS and POLL 56k killer

Hey Guys,
I've had my car for about 6 months now, bought it stock on my bday in Feb.
anyways, its been a long ways coming, and i'm 80% happy with my car. tell me what you think.

edit* i've been asked, so i'll just post it here:

the wheels are fabulous Profounds 3 pc forged
19x8.5
19.9.5
+38 all around, hope this helps





















btw its a 98 with upgraded tails, but i know those of you with keen eyes will know that mine is alpine silver.

Looks awesome! Our cars look almost identical except for different wheels. What suspension are you running?!

I own a 99 Alpine silver and I've been working on mine for the past 2 months as well. I've been wanting to start a thread such as this one but time is something I don't have (to take pics).

The exhaust is off center by the smallest amount. Clear sidemarkers and some tint and its perfect.

arg, you just made me notice something about my car that is gonna bug me now
i've been meaning to get tint, it definitely will help the look and the burning black leather sensation.
you know, i've never been a hug fan of clear sidemarkers. i kinda like the orange, it adds a JDM feel. but i have seen them on certain cars, and they do look nice.

Your car look's good the way it is! I too would add the clear side markers and change out the grille or add a TTE lip and your ready! Way to do another silver GS justice! Keep on modding baby!

As for the exhaust,the right side is a little off centered! I would bring it a few inches to the left and your good! The leftside is good to go!

Very Nice But yes you do need a TTE lip and some clear markers. You say you are 80% happy, what is it that you are not 100% happy about.
