Default CL hand me downs

long time lurkin! Took pics of the car, not much has been modded by my own hands when I took the photos, but hey I've only had the car for 3 or so months. So far the car has alcantra black suede for the roof lining, custom white carbon fiber interior trim, rear rolled fenders, smoked tails, aftermarket HID, and side-markers, AND a full Ibis white paint job. The owner was also a CL member and worked at sonic MS, he originally had air runner and an ings+1 kit on it which also came with a little model toy. He made me promise to keep it on and out of respect It'll stay on =D Won't mention the owner for privacy reasons.

as for myself I've only done an oil change and buy gas for the damn thing lol. BUT My BC coils came in last week and me and a few of my buddy's are going to wait till the car hits 60k miles. At that point I'll be doing the 60k service myself, installing the coils, (shim kit) still debating on weather it's worth it, baking the headlights to paint the housing black and also painting my roommates s2k exhaust tips so I can steal them =]

Where is that parking lot? I want to say CSULA or PCC, but then all kind of look alike.

lol they do, but this was actually at Santana Row on top of the best buy's parking structure. They have this awkward hill will parking spots at the top level which makes for some interesting photo's so I decided to take it there

Instantly recognized it as SR parking structure haha. Maybe I'm there too often. Car looks good! IMO if you open up the headlights to paint the housing, it'd be a perfect opportunity to swap out your projector lens for a clear lens. It'll sharpen the cutoff line (note: does not do much to output), which is pretty cool to see at night.

I was thinking about doing that! or possibly be even more ambitious as to doing a tsx retrofit. I would prefer the latter but I must save as much money as possible for some new shoes. Jacky would be disappointed if his old car didn't go to someone that was going to do it justice

Jacky is a really close friend . Hopefully when he comes back to visit the car will be somewhat re modded

Default @57k miles

Well I'm at about 57k and almost where I want to be when the car hits 60k. Ordered the wheels and should be coming in 3-4 weeks! so far I've baked the lights (didn't get to do the retrofit) and painted the housing black, dropped it on BC's, s4play rear shark-fin diffuser, painted exhaust tips+engine cover flat black, and bought a new front lip =]






Drove with the lip black for a day and disliked it, Will get that bad boy painted soon. More pics coming soon
