I know you're on J5 Coils now but when you had RSR Downs, how was it driving in the winter? Too low? Thinking of dropping once the winter is gone

The majority of roads were just fine, you just had to watch out for back alleys after the deep ice tracks have formed

No it's a VOLTEX Type 1 with a custom mount bracket made specifically for the 3IS trunk. An evo would generally have a Type-4 which has a double layer look to it

Thanks man! It's almost done, just waiting on some longer bolts to come in so that we can fully secure everything down. Will post pictures soon!

Apologize for the lack in updates, was doing a mad rush to get the car finished for a local car show.

Wheels showed up just a few days before the show. Work Meister L1 in Custom Candy Red color directly from the manufacturer.

Wing was also sent in for a little love. Paint matched deck of the spoiler to the body. Most people seem to do the end plates but I'm very happy with how well the deck turned out. I felt the car already had a lot of black on the top of the car (with the tint and vinyl wrap), so having the white ensures the wing doesn't get lost and breaks up the black
