Here's the transformation.

Wheels, suspension & more...

Overall, I think the car looks MUCH sharper and easy on the eyes. I wasn't going for anything too fancy... Let me know what you guys think.

BEFORE



AFTER POSES

 

Looks good. Much better after than before. How big of a drop is that? I would say go a little lower if you could

 

Thanks for the comment...Well I JUST got the suspension on, so more than likely it will settle a bit more.

 

It looks good. The height looks right, a simple ground effects kit would make a world of diff though. but still, looks good, it'd catch my eye if I was riding around in mine.

 

I think i'ts beautiful. Really shines now. The tint really helps.

 

Thanks for the comments guys.

If any of you happen to have pics of a beige max with the AE mod, post them up. I'm wondering how it would look. I do have the clear clearance lights though (not the stock foggy ones) so i'm curious if the mod would be out of balance with those lights - lights right next to the headlights. Or maybe I could do a small boarder of paint around them as well.

 

all u need is a spoiler and body pillars

 

Body color door pillars are overrated...

...but I agree that he needs a spoiler

 

I think the breadbox (no offense) rear end looks good. Keep the chrome handles too, they play well of the finish of your wheels.

My only suggestion would be to get an exhaust (if nothing else a tip) to fill in the reat bumper cutout. I think that would really finish off the mildly-modded look.

 

What % tint did you get?

 

I was wondering the same thing....

 

looks good.. what are you lowered on?? or did you already mention it?

btw, you're parked in a handicapped spot.

 

It's amazing how much difference simply putting on new wheels and tinting the windows can improve almost any car's appearance. Except for like, a Kia or something. Anywho, nice job, looks good.

 

tint is 35%, I just pm'd him.

 

I'll agree with the spoiler. I honestly can't see myself spending the money on one though. At least not right now. Maybe next year. How much are they? I think last time I read up on them they were around $250 & come with a template for drilling. Actually, just writing about it here makes me reconsider - seeing it's only about 250...but...that's really an excesive mod (to me, at this point). I've spent enough already, you know what I mean? I'm sure you've had that feeling once or twice!

Thanks for the compliments.

It's funny you mention that, because after lowering my car I did "something" (probably scrapped it on the ground somewhere) and I had to put a clamp on it to hold it up, because it was banging under the car. Anyways, i had a look at the muffler and it was rusted out pretty badly...but i'm not going to replace it until i need. Then i'll do something nice when I replace it. I honestly want to focus on stuff like an ECU+Y-pipe and MEVI. Or at LEAST a y-pipe if nothing else.

Yeah, 35% I didn't ever want to get pulled over for having too dark of a tint. I always that would be a stupid thing. 35 works for me anyways...

Lowered on tokico illuminas struts springs & shocks. They settled a bit since the picture. It's at a perfect height now...

haha, i wanted the car to be centered! and that handy cap was just gettin' in my way! plus all the soccer moms and dads buzzing around..i eventually ended up leaving and finished the pictures in an abandoned parking lot.

anyone know of a nice place to take pictures around here? Fall pictures would be tight.
