thanks for the comments guys! I just really cant wait to finally get the lips on and get the tint...but trying to be patient until the springtime weather really starts kicking in for good

sorry for the repetitiveness, but I forgot this pic, I think it's my favorite of the bunch since a lot of people hate on the cl rear, but I love it

^^ Man, my fronts are almost bald...but that's a combination of not correcting my toe until only a month ago along with the -4.x camber...it pretty much ate the inside of my fronts in a period of 4 months

thanks again for the feedback guys!

As for the grill, here is a very 'rough' approximation of what the car should look like in a month or so



I'm gonna work with a second spare grill as I don't wanna mess up this stock grill. That leads me to the question, do any of you have a gold grill you want to sell me?? Or just even the center gold bar portion?

2 Things

1.) What Camera are you shooting with?
2.) A Better Background (scenery) would make that 1st Pic Sick..

Other than that, I Love Your car. The Gold Accents perfectly.. Damn your ride is Clean..

Oh Yeah... You need a Signature on those photos too.. Cause I found my new background pic for my pocket pc. Ha!

haha thanks man

camera is a crappy 3 year old canon a620 point and shoot. manual settings is enough to keep me happy for now, but I do want to step up to an slr eventually

indeed, the scenery was crappy, but it was a spur of the moment shoot, and I didn't really feel like driving far to do a nice shoot since my body was busted from like 3 hours of washing/detailing

after I get the lip on though, I'll definitely find a nice spot

I love your car, but I think you may have it confused. The rear is the part of the car that people love.. The front on the other hand..

sweet, I might be able to make that one...could you please link me to the thread or pm me with details?

thanks again for the replies guys, I am indeed going to lower it another half inch to 3/4 inch or so all around (I know sometimes it may be hard to tell but right now there's no finger gap on all 4 corners). I also have some 20mm spacers to install in the rear...and will be rolling the fenders and going ass-out on the fitment a-la 240 style after I give the car a good machine detailing. Weather just sucks here lately, so my progress on anything has been halted

omg dude, where'd you find that? LMFAOOO but nah man those aren't the same rims, the center section (at the ends of the spokes) has the indents, as well as 9 spokes vs. 8 spokes, which says to me they're either old school works or zauber meshies. that DOES look pretty hard though, I'd pimp that van haha
