Default My Build Thread
First, I recieved my wheels. Nothing too special, just what I could afford on a students budget.






The car when everything was first put together including lip kit and lowered springs.
















Took some pictures at school one day.






I then decided to go lower with coilovers and modify the front lip because the holes were bothering me.










First car show.








Took some more pictures on a random day.
















Push start




OEM front lip back on for now.

Built a sound system setup with my cousin for his car. Was my first attempt on such a project. Maybe in the future I will build a sound system setup for myself.









His car.

These are Polished 18" R1 wheels. I thought about bronze and gold, but I couldn't resist the shimmer of polish.

Thanks sspem2, but thats nothing yet. Wait till you reveal your makeover.

Quick question why do you white out the numbers on your license plate? I mean everyone can see them when your driving arround anyway so what is the point?

Thanks for the comments, but unfortuantely I do not have the $$$. It would be nice though to have K20A type R and a nice tucked engine bay.

Well its not as low as some people, but my stock mid pipe is scraping everything and everywhere. I guess thats what happens when you drive low enough. I have never had any problem with my exhaust burning my rear lip, nor do I get any black smoke residue on it. The exhaust is Apexi WS2.
