Also doing the emblems in black or flat black, what do you think? Nice

Also going to do the side markers in flat black. No! clear or JDM side markers.

Got to get those headlights and fogs cleared up soon. Immediately!

**Hey what's your plans for the RED under the hood? Suggest a flat black, which you could probably do yourself with a little time and patience?

Yeah thanks. I just bought some BC Racing BR Series Coilovers today. I also cleaned up the headlights with the 3M Restoration kit but the passenger side is still not as clear as the drivers side. Also bought the home link visor but too lazy to install it. Got 6k and 3k HID but haven't installed it yet. Also got a new window for the rear but to lazy to go to the body shop in this cold weather.

I just got my coilovers installed yesterday. Here are some quick pics with my phone. I'll get better ones when I get a chance.

Got it done at Tach Motor Works in Oceanside, NY

I've never had coilovers before, but I love these BC's it drives really smooth. I'd recommend it. I wonder how it would drive with some trd sway bars?

I rub when I'm turning though.

I'm getting some 18's next week and can't even fit a finger between the wheel well with the stock 16's.

Do I have the car too low or will the 18's clear with low profiles?

Default NEW Wheels

Got some new wheels.
TSW Jarama 18x8
What do you guys think? I personally don't really like them too much, I just got them b/c I got them really cheap and the tires are brand new.

Also the wheels were able to clear with no problems. Though when I removed the stock 16's I could tell the wheel well was starting to get eaten up. I guess I've gotta relocate the wire harness this weekend.
