This 5.5 still looks classy and immaculate. Really clean retrofit.

Any plans for a Stillen front lip?

Thanks for the love


Sarin, that looks mean as hell, and OEM as hell. Nicely done, good sir. We need to get together again for a summer meet...who's gonna plan it?

So pretty!

Why is your trunk grey?

Well, the story starts with a bad transmission with no reverse, and no patience...and plenty of stupidity.

Anyway it ends with smashed trunk lid and spoiler...the replacement is Gray Lustre, and it actually doesn't look too bad. So count it as a 'mod' for now.

At one point when I was looking for a trunk lid, I did come across a carbon fiber one....but nah. Ultimately I want a majestic blue lid again. Just haven't got a round to painting this one or finding a replacement.

OP- nice ride, are the 35 tires pretty bumpy around town?

The ride in the 35 series tires aren't too shabby. Though really rough road you can feel it. The H&R/Tokico's seem to make up for it.

Sarin, man it seems we've come a long way since our 2nd Gens from years ago. The pearl white one is my newest 2003 SE. My 2002 Gold SE one got totalled only 3 months of owning it. I was so mad. Mods are planned
