Default Finally a few pics...

New exhaust (dont have pics from behind yet) and intake dont really add much to visual appeal but after some new wheels and suspension I think she's ready to be seen. A new audio/visual system is in the works which will change things alot. It's from my phone. A good camera on the phone but a camera phone non-the-less

The glare from the sun in the first picture is killing me...

Other than that, car looks nice. What are you dropped on? What kind of exhaust are you running?

hey, i LIKE the glare haha. BLIIIINNNNGGG. IN a few weeks I should have my new audio/video (7 lds and a lot of sound). Then i'll take quality pics.

Dropped on Tanabe sustec 5's It's about as low as it can go without costing me bunches on tires. Exhaust is Greddy SP2 and it has an Fsport intake. You cant see the exhaust in this picture since it's from a while ago

Just edited above and mentioned the suspension.

It'll look better with this. My question Is:

Should I keep the amazingly good kandy paint on the fiberglass risking it looking tacky...or should I match it to the tungsten pearl:

I'd paint it unless you do some other candy red ascents. Like red neons in the trunk or candy red some trim in the interior of the car to tie it all in.

That's what i was thinking....matching the candy red on some other parts... tastefully. Maybe even the wood trim inside?!? I just really don't want to take off a beautiful paint job and put another on.

I bought it, but didn't. I'm getting it, but have to wait to get it until the buyer returns from out of the country.
