Default Got all my stuff in, and installed!

Well a lot of you know my story, I bought some Lowenharts from someone and they didnt fit, I was stuck with them for over 3 months, til I finally sold them....

First thing I did after that was I bought some Tein CS coilovers, then a couple days later I purchased a set of Lowenhart LD-1's 20x9 F 20x10 R , and Today I ordered a TTE Lip from Carsons, it should be here by tuesday.

I am kind of upset that my painter couldn't have my car done in time for the DUB magazine show so I decided not to paint it, until I get the TTE. That means I'm not even gonna enter my car in the show, its this Sunday. But I gotta tell ya I've been getting a lot of looks and compliments.

Anyways I want to thank the people who made this happen,
Runyun -Ed for the Coils
Steve Ganz and Gordon from Carsons
Rominl for helping with the Adjustment of the Coils
Tiguy99 for the Headlight Retro
TLW / GTFM for pointing me in the right direction for the Retro
DrewGS4 - for the Borla tips
BlueGS400 - Mike for the rims I appreciate it guys.

I hope I didn't forget anyone.

Enough talk here are the pics already Enojy









Well thats all I have for now, I took these in a hurry I'll have some better 1's later.

I should be getting her painted next week, along with the installation of
UGO Roof Spoiler
TTE Lip
TTE grille
and some new rubber door strips.

Nice. You are doing it the right way. Wait until your have your TTE lip, TTE grill, and UGO roof spoiler installed before painting. BTW- are you having your TTE lip molded to your bumper.

You rubber door molding looks like mine. I need to call Steve at Carson to get this ordered for both sides.

Cannot wait to see after pics with all the details.

I wanted to have the car in the show even without those things installed, I just didnt want to put it in the show with the scratches and the holes I have in the bumper, but its alright I'll just wait til next time, as for the TTE lip I think I will have it molded.
