Default Update

Ok its time I update this thread. I have been through body shop hell! I dropped my car off back in July & found out the other day that the shop never did any work to the car at all! So I went & moved the car to a more reputable shop. Now this shop I can recommend. My car is finally being worked on & we are looking towards a date when it will be on the road soon. I am currently uploading some work in progress pics. So pics will come later on today.

Looking fresh! Since you're all Alpine, I got some center speakers if you're interested to make your car a surround sound theatre. Gently used but discontinued. I got a double din so I didn't wanna customize my ashtray to make it fit. Lmk. Keep us updated with your build. Sell the SSR...I'll pick it up. Lol

Here's the link to the Alpine

Rob, she's coming along very nicely. Do you have a time frame with the new shop?

Probably gonna be in about 2 more weeks. These are some great guys who will probably do my next build for me from start to finish.

As for the SSRs they are officially gone once the car comes out of the shop (finally!)

Looking for some back up wheels for the winter months. Something probably in 19 inch & strong.
Any suggestions?

I was thinking maybe a set of SSR Professor III or Veilside wheels if I can find a set or maybe some Volk Racing GT7 or GTC's

Short update.

Fender rolling finally completed. Ran into a small hiccup but the body & paint is coming along. Had to order some spacers temporarily & some new Tein wrenches. Also need some front RCAs. Need to find a great alignment shop once completed. I don't hear too much good from Butler Tire so I might try Gran Turismo East. I need someone who knows what they are doing. Hopefully I can make it to one of Tee's Luxury Car meets before he puts a hit out on me!

I do wanna give special thanks to:
ISS Forged
Tee
1SickLex (Mike or Mr. Vossen)
Prince Akim
Marus (inspiration)
Peachtree Collision
H&R Springs
The Lexus Builders on the West Coast & Texas
RMMGS4 (inspiration)
SoCalSC4 (inspiration)
Veritek (inspiration)
and I'm sure there are more.

Thank You
