Before and After v.2k11

Kind of a spin off from the ghustle thread since i got curious to see where everyone came from to where they are now.

Rules of engagement:

1. One pic of when you first got it/before you did anything to it

2. One pic of how it sits/looks now

3. This is not a stance/slammed/lowered 'must be' thread, just a before and after pic thread....sooooooooooooo GO!

Day 1



Now

When the car was stock



After, with WS2, Warpspeed Y, headlight retro, and H&Rs.





The car more than likely will not be modified more than this.

245/40 . I rolled my fenders later that day . It was chewing up my tire . & I'm waiting for these tires to wear out until I get new ones . I'm thinking 215 stretched with spacers
