ABP finished for the summer... saving for a bodykit now..

Here is my abp from stock to now.


First day after pickup no tints





Later in the year i added a ghetto moonvisor look the tumor looking thing





(after driving back from buffalo when it snowed and pass about 18 salt trucks)
30% llumar tints



Dead bird thus is why i have the lower grill mesh







m3 lip
Lower grills and moved license plate
oem moonroof visor



interior blue leds




before aspec suspension the drop is so small.




front tints removed becasue of too many cops stopping me...












Ronjon servos and fujitsubo exhaust with aspec suspension




I really should save up for a kit look at rmatics old car

ditch the mud guards before they ruin your paint, you'll regret having them when you put on the oem kit

The reasson you here lots of noise on chillens car is because hes running stock struts on springs and he needs a camber kit. I good coil over kit will work the best.

Well, you saw my car at the E-Shift meet. I have the Tein SS with the SPC rear camber kit, sitting on 19's and I don't hear any noises from the suspension. The camber kit and a new alignment will get rid of that negative camber / \

Interesting, well i just stuck with the aspec suspension becasue there wasn't much to really invest more on, but by that time i bought it people told me tein streets is around that range.

Yea i was thinking about the mud guards, its just screws off?

The drivers side front area on my car was marred when I took the guard off to install the body kit. The other three were fine, but one was scratched of course

If I'd known that, I would have taken them off earlier.

I did what he said and took them right off the next day. Waxed and washed, but i was a bit lazy in uploading them.

It looks alot better with out them I found so much sand and rocks in the mud gaurds i was amazed.

Where in NY are you getting pulled over for tints?

Actually, I think the A-Spec drop looks perfect on your ride.

I got pulled over right before the holland tunnel during winter break both ways... haha

I like aspecs its fun =) maybe eventually ill do the suspension work right.

I was dynoed at 175.5 hp annd 139.1 lb torque as the best pull... now thats with a air and fuel ratio sensor shot, I got it replaced and noticed the car ran much smoother afterwards.
