Lowered the car some more, added a vertex style front lip, jp vizage side skirts and a Junction Produce exhaust. Took some photos yesterday with my friend Jeff for a Hellaflush feature.

I do great work on any car I touch, and if I don't I won't admit to working on the car.

Minh, I knew there was a reason you really liked that shot of work being done on the rear. My Tanabes should be here tomorrow

Changed up the colors on the wheels and added some vinyl.

Got a great shop to fix the quarter panel and replaced the rear bumper. My wheels are still damaged, but by a great coincidence I received a sponsor by Zedd Performance Wheels to run while my Scaras get rebuilt again. I was also worried about fitting 19x11 wheels in the rear, but I took my car to Robros Customs and they put together a kit from UAS using the coilovers I already have. Check them out. http://robroscustoms.com/

Decided to swap my SC wheels over to the IS. Looks pretty good and the fat tires makes driving super comfortable.

Took my car in to get the roof wrapped in gloss black. The paint on the roof was starting to fade and this seemed to be the cheapest option.














Looks so much better!
