Pix after car wash and a few mod (56ker not allow)
I went to work for a few hours and then wash my car in our shipping/receiving dock. So far this is what I have:
-United Arrows 17x7 rims
-Resonator/Mid-Muffler remove
-3A exhaust tip
-02-03 Tail from CaliGirl2K
-Remove 3.2TL logo
-Move license plate to the bottom
Dont ask me why I took so many neck breaking shot; I thought it look cool until I saw the picture.
Please dont tell me the obvious....I need to put away some money first because things at work has been a little bit shakey. Our accountant just quit yesterday. Picture taken with my Canon SD800 w/ 16MB SD card. Here are some pictures after car wash today:

your car's clean but you need to slam that bad boy. cars don't look right if you don't lower them -- it doesn't matter how nice your wheels are. basically you need a drop like right now.

I need to get a freaking quote for painting. I was going to drop by...but work and washing my car meticulously took the rest of my day. I am still thinking about buying your spoiler, but if I do what about the coilover. Did you check w/ K-Sport about the warranty?

I told myself I would call, but work got really busy. Then I had to clean the car...My thought is to get everything painted at once, but I'm missing the rear lip. I got the front and side. I dont have money lying around to paint the oem and then replace it with the ww. I'm afraid that the kit will just sit somewhere until I drop the car. Somehow I thought the kit+paint and install would be cheaper, but I was wrong.
EDIT: Why cant your spoiler just be WDP!

1. wont happen
2. will remove it soon since it's no longer summer.
3. most likely wont happen because I'm still driving parents around. Personally, I'm not fond of slamming my car due to the bumpy ride.
4. was going to remove the mudgards today, but got lazy after a long car wash. The kit is coming w/o a rear.

Look good, but like everyone said, you need to lower (not slam) the car. Lower an inch or two will make car looks really good and ride quality will not degrade too much that your parents can notice.

My Tein SS ride great (damper adjustment) people tell me they cant believe how good it rides for being so low. Maybe the wheels would look better with a drop, but with that stance, it looks like an STi.

We got the same tips, tails, and license plate frame! Looks good. I took the mudflaps off, but am gonna paint them body color and put them back on due to shit getting kicked up on the side of my car. A drop and new tires are in the works as well.

mcflyguy24 - what color is your ride? SSM?
I know I need a drop. It's in the work, but dont have a timeframe yet. Kit is on the way, but most likely it will just sit there until I can find the rear.

I get pay once a month! That is madness...ahahaa. Not to mention, sometime I get pay late by 2-3 days. So far it hasnt been happening yet. It's like a start-up somewhat (company been out for ~4 years).
EDIT: I got the rims from Craigs List for $700. Price included 2 yoko es100 (90% thread) and 2 yoko tires that had 30% thread. That's when it all started to happening...

The rims are from United Arrow - S-05 EuroStar. Brand new is $1300+shipping from Japan. I would have gone with gunmetal, but that wasnt on craigs list. The previous owner said they no longer ship them to the U.S. or something, but who knows.

Toys toys. Just got my ww kit in our shipping/receiving. Staring at it with a "wtf" question...ahahaha. It's going to my friend garage for storage for awhile. Got a PM from Malayalee King "world sport 2 for $431 shipped -- HURRY!!!" I went and gave them my credit card. I'll figure out how to pay for it at the end of the month.
