** MORE PICS ON PAGE 4 AND MORE PICS ADDED IN POST 2**

My goal was to max out my current setup.. from the Coilovers to the wheel offsets to the camber and I finally did it!

I will let the pictures speak for itself but big thanks to:

* Jeff Tsai for helping me build this thing
* Eddie Sanchez for his willingness to help without even knowing me
* Thomas (aka: Speedaddict) for the wheels that are discontinued
* Brandon Budd -- my suspension guy is a mad scientist of chassis'
* Jun (JunJDM) and Gio (GATO) for inviting me to join in the photoshoot.
* Andy - the photographer - for his amazing eye!
* Sam - BigVIPness - for his willingness to talk with me and help complete the vision.

I'm sure I'm leaving someone out, but I know everyone wants to see pics sooo... enjoy!

For some perspective, this is what I started with about 1.5 years ago:

I love everything about your car, from the color to the wheels and stance to the molded TTE lip, great pictures! Yours was the one who first inspired me to have my sidemarkers shaved. wish I could do the TTE lip too.
