My car after the repair!(with a little makeover)
Repainted the front lip,bumper, rear bumper,
and repaired the roof(from vendalism) and bent chasis(lower arm, etc)
The work is very nicely done I think(Thank you AK autoworks). It even feels like a new car somehow..haha
anyway a little update of my car is the Mugen Grille.(finally put it on)
and I'll be ordering couple of parts from Japan next month.(finally some performance parts)
I just felt like I wanted to take some pictures of my car.
So I asked my friend/photographer Hanshigi for some pictures.
Unfortunately the weather wasn't so good but
if you see last few pictures, the contrast and the colour of the background are not photoshopped at all..we were kind of amazed by it too.
Anyway, enjoy the pictures

)I think it will look good with the matching hood trim as well
but I might be getting a CF hood later and planning to purchase some parts in March so don't want to use $ on things very small like this at the moment

What happened was...I was driving at night(raining) and going about 80km/h..
then, I didn't even know what it was, my car jumped up like few inches off the ground(left side of the car)..as a result: my tire was popped,wheel was bent (got this all fixed before 2006) and scracth on the lip, the chasis was bent..so I waited until couple of weeks ago to fix it. Had to change the lower arm and do some pulling..
my steering wheel was turned about 30degrees clockwise to go straight..
But it's all good now. feels like a new car..hehe

great paint job on the grill. i don't know why a lot of people paint the whole thing body color. doing it that way makes the hood release visible and it cheapens the whole look.

haha thank you for the comments..
Yeah..the grill, I just want to make it look simple and clean.(that's the actual look of the grill imo)
and about the wheels., I got it when the set was on specials..so little cheaper than usual.
I remember it was around 2000(over)CAD just for 4 sets of wheels.(w/o tax)
