I think you only need two things one this car to make it complete:

spoiler
tints

everything else is just perfect: skyline bodykit, paint, fmic and turbo. DAMN! I'm jealous

Well I had tint already and took it off, I like the cleaner look.. the car was/is a big show car, so tint doesnt do well at shows.

What skyline kit?

i think there are 4 roads.. i think.

it's nice, i am not going to lie, i scrape a good amount, but as long as it is exhaust piping and not my front crossmember and turbo piping i am happy.

and just to add to the truth of my car being daily driven, some assshole in with a red car hit my car today at school.. good amount of red paint and scratches on the lower part of my rear bumper in between the exhaust and license plate. Has to be a lowered car, probably a civic, cuz it hit the lower part of my rear bumper.. I LOVE PEOPLE!!!!

Kind of hard to see with the lighting situation but as far as measurements go, the stillen skirts are about 4" at their lowest point in height and 3" all the way across. These new hamann skirts are 6" at their lowest point in height and about 4-5" all the way across.

this is the before without the skirt:

the sideskirts are Hamanns and they are made for e46 bmw's.. they are only about 2 inches or less too long, and I will have to invent a way to mount them, shouldn't be too bad.

When i did my first install.. mattcalder gave me all the instructions and insights how to do them..

bascially because they never came with instructions

calder told me front, 4 turns/clicks and back, 6 turns/clicks .. so i figured since calder was i figure i would go 2 higher than that

so i had my fronts on 6 and my rear on 8 ...

i could feel every bump and it was ust fcking horrible.. it was unbareable..

so last night i put the Rear's to full soft.. i havn't touched the front yet because i havnt' had a chance to get under the car...

i also had some issues with loading and preloading hte spring so i get lots of noise when i make deep turns .. basically since i had no instructions

so one weekend i am going to pull down the fronts and re-adjust and re-do them.. then i will go get an alignment.. so basically i am still in the tuning stages

Yeah I talked to calder and was lucky enough to have him help me, but i actually didnt adjust the front and left the rear at 10s and it was real stiff and bouncy. So I am sitting at 4/6 now as well, rear is a little bumpy, but tucking tire and bouncing a little is okay with me.
i also had some issues with loading and preloading hte spring so i get lots of noise when i make deep turns .. basically since i had no instructions
I think I got that part of it figured out, with the preloading, but I didn't preload the rears..
so one weekend i am going to pull down the fronts and re-adjust and re-do them.. then i will go get an alignment.. so basically i am still in the tuning stages
Luckily I had the mindset to lower the adjuster to the very bottom of the front struts, not just for lowering but for adjusting the ride. It would be a pain without it. You can give yourself your own camber alignment, my camber is sitting perfect now due to those camber plates. Although my toe is off and the balance is off so I need to get that fixed, but these things are pretty awesome as far as adjustability.

JIC for not giving instructions in a language we could read.

well trust me, nothing in the full on japanese instructions would help you. I just did everything by trial and error, a lot of air ride knowledge helped with how these things were adjusted and such, especially with trying to make them tuck rim.

how low are you riding around?

headlights were a possibility until i heard about the massive hacking that was needed and saw how they dont look all that good any way.

and no on the riceboy foglights, i try to keep the rice as a minimum, i try.
