Default New parts, new pics

I just finished the install of my Tein S-techs... the car hasn't fully settled yet, but I took pics anyway. I also put on a set of black powder coated S2000 exhaust tips. I didn't want an aftermarket exhaust, but I needed something to fill up the rear cut outs on my kit.

I forgot how much of a pain in the *** it is to install springs... now my AFS sensor is on so I need to go adjust that as well...arg.

thanks, I do need spacers for sure... then I'm done modding the car... I think

I couldn't justify coils. My only reason for the drop was to eliminate the awful gap on the front of the car. I don't want to drop it so low that I have to worry about angling the car over stuff.

nicely done~!
those S2K tips look nice on our car for some reason
and you already know that spacers will definitely make your car look 10000x better

the only thing that I don't like is your front lip..GFX does not sit low enough compared to Ings side skirt...
but other than that..GREAT JOB

yeah, I know people don't like the GFX front with this kit. In person it actually looks a lot better. I didn't feel like having the Ings front because it sits too low for me and I don't want to scrape on everything. Perhaps someday I'll give in and just get the Ings lip, but right now I actually like this combo.

Now I have to remove the front door tint b/c of my fix it ticket... it is not even that dark... I was looking at one of these pics and it doesn't even look tinted.

Are the black chrome wheels from factory or was it a custom colour? The wheel colour looks really good with the car even they are stock OEM wheels.

the black chrome was done custom... If I did it all over again I would have had them powder coated instead.... in certain light they look just like normal chrome.
