Progress since NOV
As many of you know I purchased my 08 ISF stock back in November. I have been working through the winter to get it ready for the spring shows and track days, most of the work taking place in the last 2 months. Thanks to Joe-z, Figs, Sewell and everyone else on the forum for their insight and support. The car is coming together but still has a long ways to go...
I installed the coilovers and then had the car corner balanced, ride heigth adjusted and alligned. She sits perfect, but I'm sure I will rip off the front lip one of these days.
Modifications-
JoeZ exhaust
JoeZ Intake
BCR Coilovers
CF Roof spoiler
CF front lip
Color matched fog light covers
Flat black Grills, headlight housing, emblems and grill surround.
CF Wrapped air intakes for brakes
Yellow HID Fogs
Tinted windows 20%
Front Windshield 80% Huberoptic (keeps glare down)
New front bumper, old one was beat up from the previous driver. I also had about 8 door dings taken out. Why don’t people take care of their cars?

Looks nice!
Is that the Lexon CF front spoiler? If so that's the one I just ordered from VIP and now I definitely can hardly wait!!!
(hadn't seen many good up close pics of the CF version)
Is that the CF vinyl wrap in your brake intake ducts or actual CF?

Track days? Better bring big rolls of painter's tape and cover the whole front of the car if you want it to stay looking nice. I don't know if I'd choose BCR coilovers for track work, but to each his own. Waiting patiently for FIGS Penske setup to be available...

The Penske setup does look really nice however and I'm sure will be superior to any current suspension option as of now, but I believe the BCR coilovers are a step above the stock setup.
