New Kit Installed! Take a L@@K!

After few months of being a lazy butt, I decided to install my Stillen kit. Took me good 6 hours including time I drove to a local auto store (few times) to buy some more supplies. I had no helper. Though it's not a perfect fit, I'm pretty happy w/ the results. Tell me what you guys think!

Hy Ammi, Where did you buy your kit from and if you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for it?

I never have taken my car to a track. Probably somewhere around 14s.

I bought it from Southwestautoworks back when they were having a GD. I paid low $700 including shipping.

The rears are not really a tight fit. If you look closely, you'll notice flaws here and there but that's ok. Saved me few hundred from doing the job myself.

I bought the bulb from someone in this Org. He only had 3 or 4 sets left that he was trying to get rid of. I think I paid $140 or $150 for the pair.

LOOKIN HOT. Everything looks so clean, and i didnt even realize you had a bike rack ontop... sorry irish and who ever else has one but i hate those . Damn though that is a nice looking setup, the only other thing i would do is change over to the 2k2 tails. X 2

Man, I like everything you've done. The kit and the rims really pop. The car just looks like a complete unit. Great calls. I can't believe it, but I even like the look of the rack.

Bought it off from a buddy. 18x8.5 w/ Falken tires. Slightly used. $1700.

Little over an inch.

I went to a local hobby store and picked up a can of transparent black spray. Took off my tail lights, covered up the part I did not want to smoke and then I sprayed a few coats, letting it dry between coats. Finish off w/ few coats of clear coat. That's it!
