Thought I would show off my car after a wash and install of roof spoiler
The car came with:
Black housed headlights
New Led Tail lights
Tein Drop Aprox 1.4" drop
Blacked out wheels
What I did in this month so far:
Pioneer AVIC-D3 Head Unit
Ebay Roof Spoiler (not painted yet)
Ebay Plastic Mesh Grill (will be painted black soon)
Replace License plate bulbs to Ultra White LEDs (super bright at night)
It might be a pain but I already uploaded my pics to Flickr so please look at them there and tell me what you guys think!

Pl0x dont flame me for that X( it came with the car and i personally think it looks pretty good with the leds, but one thing that could make it look better is if the middle plastic part that * < is gone and just LEDs are there.
tein rides pretty smooth but youll start feeling the bumps more on the road. Im also on stock shocks that need to be replaced soon cause the ride is a bit bouncy..

Wow they are pretty similar ^_^. And ****, lmfao... I was wondering what that little difference would be before I scrolled down..it was a snail -_-;; scary evil twin.
What kind of turbo and how much did that upgrade cost? Coilovers?
Better yet would you mind telling me what mods you have?
Nice sleeper ride evil twin^^

It is a XS Power T61. As far as the kit, well, i pieced it together to save some dough. i wasnt planning on spending 6K in a kit. so i sourced everything, some used, some new, only ran me around $1300 spent over a period of maybe 4-5 months of buying things here and there.
XS Power T61
XS Power downpipe
XS Power turbo manifold
universal Godspeed intercooler/custom intercooler pipes
Apex'i SAFC2 for engine management
AEM Wideband
and a bunch of little fittings and stainless steel braided lines here and there for oil return/feed
I have the Tanabe Concept G catback and made it fit to my downpipe off the turbo, and when I was N/A it sounded great. It was paired with a megan y-pipe also, i see you're in socal, if you're interested ill practically give it away.
for suspension, im dropped on Tanabe Sustec Pro coilovers. they're a decent set of coilovers. no dampening adjustment, which sucks, but the quality is excellent for daily driving. reduced body roll, stiffer than stock, better handling for sure, and not noisy at all. also i have the Tanabe rear strut bar as well. my plans are to complete the suspension with Tanabe front and rear sways, and Tanabe front and rear under braces as well.
as you can see from the last picture, i used to have a Fujita short ram intake, which i just recycled for the MAF sensor on the charge piping.
i used to have the AAC 8K angel eyes, but the inverters blew so they dont work anymore lol, im too lazy to send them in for new ones too. oh well. what else? i painted the heads/tails/fogs satin black. i also have window visors. and the Ralco short throw shifter. and i think thats it! lol.

Cerritos is about a 45 min drive without traffic to 805. The meet is in Ventura county. And as for the y pipe's necessity, it will only fit with n/a cars. It will be getting rid of one of your cats, so it'll definately be a little louder, and also I noticed better throttle response. With a catback, and y pipe combo, all you'll need is headers, and you'll have a full exhaust. Lemme know if you're interested, I also have a friend who comes to the meet in Whittier, so if you wanted to come by one day I'm sure he would meet up with you and caravan out here. Just let me know, we need more people to come out!
