Default Just Some New Mods....=)

UPDATED PICS 7/28/09 !

Hey guys, I didn't want to post pics of my car till it was actually fully done with the aero parts haha, but a good friend REALLY wanted me to show my car, to get an opinion what you guys think. I bought my car last year in sept 08, and kept it stock till just a few weeks ago hahah, the mod bug got me. ..When I'm done with the car ill do a little write up before an after ! Enjoy the pics...

(and no..im not going any lower hahaha, my Tom's suspension has about a good 3" down I can go, but unfortunately I drive the car everyday)

Mods (outter)

BEFORE:



AFTER!

UPDATED PICS of CAR 7/28/09 ENJOY !

After a Nice Polish, wax, glaze etc.. Time to enjoy the car ! Changed the wheels to 19" Work Euroline SL's, and added some of the body parts !

Very nice mods, I love how your exhaust fits. Sports Chalet eh? haha, I might be mistaken but did you put the V300 and Aristo on those sides on purpose? Waiting to see the finished product. Are you waiting to buy the parts? Or waiting to put them on?

Yes, like puff said, he does have the badges on correctly.

ItsChris, car look great. Good to see another person rock the JDM badging. Can't wait to see the rest of the parts on.

hey guys thanks for the nice comments, yeah all the parts i have listed where dropped off at the paint shop to have them painted, hopefully by end of next week they will be done, because my body guy will be busy this whole week and for the 4th of july weekend.

Chrispy will be helping me retrofit my headlights, I have the 01+ headlights sitting at home.

Skpark, regarding the +31 offset, the tires are id say 1/2' tucked in the rear, I had someone cut the rear fender lining, before I lowered it because the rear rim was already rubbing with the car lowered ! hahaa, so when I lowered it, they were perfectly tucked in, and now they have about 10-15mm before the tire rubs the rear fender. So far even with the biggest humps on the freeway I have not rubbed the fender yet.

Yeah im glad I did the JDM Badges, I get alot of people saying "whats an aristo?" or.."is that a toyota"? hahaha take care guys.

Its the World Sport Exhaust, very mellow and quiet and the freeway but when you get on it, it has that v8 throaty sound. Definetely would recommend it to anyone. I had the Greddy Evo, and it was just too loud for me.
