Update: it's been a long while since this has been updated. Since my last post I have added the following: 4" intake, gutted Precats, test pipe, timing advance, Megan racing coilovers.

Now for some pictures:

Very clean. Tastefully done. Nothing flamboyant or over the top. Nice ride. And I definitely like the bronze on white scheme you have going on. Looks great.

you should paint your front side marker white like the back, and i like the gold wheels . sometimes gold wheels look great on the right set up.

and btw get a real camera we can't read your huge windshield sticker, or see what exactly you did to your headlights.

That sidemarker used to be white before I did my black out theme and then I just haven't got around to changing it back. I appreciate the positive feedback! I'll definitely get a real camera soon.

Body match headlight innards look better on a dark color car IMO...but it doesn't look as bad to me in white as I imagined...and look at it this way - it forces him to keep the car clean so the match is there!




OP - I like the updates

That shot REALLY brings out the white. It's usually not that noticeable, but yea it definitely makes me keep it clean. Thanks for the praise!

I like the car. It's looking good. Makes me want to stop being lazy and do some work on my car to get it sharp looking again.

The ride is a bit stuff but I'm sure once I take time to really dial in the coilovers to my specs itl be fine

They are up there with coilovers for the best mod I've ever done. They feel supportive in sharp turns and incredible to just sit in. Best sub $500 mod I've done. Thanks Jeff!
