ill post pics soon

 

wow hope ur gf knows she has a good guy. damn i wish i had a gf that would buy me something along the lines of that or anything shoot buy me a shirt LOL.

 

Sweet! good luck with all that.

I mean no disrespect when i ask this. But a while ago, when the topic of spinners came up, i could have sworn you said that you were a College student playing basketball. but just out of curiosity, how is a starving college student with only a part time job playing b-ball, affording all this??

 

Hey congrats on the kit, the Explosion is a clean look, I like it much better than the WIN (no offense to those that have it).

Do you still need suspension? The Ltuned is always a option!

 

actually college student playing baseball... and i bought spinners, and i own and run my own car detailing business, also i am opening a performance/rims/accessories shop... but i got a great deal onm the is3. thanks

d,
i do need some suspension, i was gonna wait and get the kit on and see what it looks like.. what you think?

 

No need to wait, with 20s and a drop, it will look very funny with no drop. Either Ltuned or Eibach/Bilstein would probably be best for you! You dont wanna go really low right?

 

no i dont want to go low at all, i went to a local performance shop and they told em they would do some Eibach springs all the way around for 300, installed. thats doesnt sound too bad to me. wha you think. i know its only 1" but i dont think i acan do much more than that with the system in the back!!!! also i dont want to hit curbs when i get the kit... thanks

300 installed is a pretty good price, usually shops charge about 100-180 to install springs, you may wanna think about struts though, especially with all that "junk in da trunk"

 

the only bad thing is i have to pay for the paint for the kit, i am gonna go ahead and get the eniotre car painted.... i think i might keep it DPW, but it might be cheaper for me to get a custom color, i know you saw the twin turbo pics they had from sp motoring, with the gs3 with a bleive they said m3 paint (dark grey), i think that is smooth looking ihgt get that instead , i am goona do a poll soon to see what people think about colors, wither DPW, that m3 grey, or 50th anniversay corvette grey, or a nice black....... havent made up my mind, maybe even do a burnt orange like airaatack did... that was nice.. which on eyou think. also my dad is in the car business so i get deals on everything, plus i never have to pay tax , makes it wasy for me and lets me buy more stuff, i just picked upo that is3 for 15k, thats a good prices, it is 01, but it is balck on black and the inside looks new. outside is decent, no big scratches, but for 15 i dont think i can go wrong......

sorry i'm late......but congrats on the new kit come in....much better decision imo than going with the win kit...i've seen the explosion style on white b4 and it looks really nice and flows so well.....as mentioned a drop is a must...
