washed the car lowered it more.

lowered -0.5cm in the front
lowered -2cm in the rear

i think this may be the lowest i can go.

also experimented (miserably ) with photoshop and my dads new dSLR.












and finally a side shot to get an idea of my lowness.




actual progress coming soon...

hah i used to ride like you are right now but i personally dont like how it sits like a "boat". do you hit your upper control arms in the front?

03tLsNBP

iTrader: (9)

i know man. i want to get them blacked out before the local Azine meet on April 3rd but i dont think its gonna happen. i just dont have time for a project of that scale at the moment. this summer it is my number one priority.

haha i love that stance right now. we shall see as time goes on if i tire of it as well. i only smack the control arms on very large bumps (which i try to avoid anyways). i am still about 1.5 cm of threads away from smacking control arms on every bump.

in preparation for the Heckscher Park Azine meet tomorrow, i spent a good part of my day...probly 6 hours... washing my car. also took off the rear mud flaps.

since i dont have a PC or anything like that, everything was done by hand and basic cleaning stuff from Autozone. came out nice but nothing like you see in the Wash and Wax section.

Power Wash
Scrubbed with Turtle wax soap and sponge
Clay bar
Cleaned and waxed windows and sunroof with Mothers wax
2 coats of Mothers wax on all panels
Plastx on headlights



















gotta love shooting after the sun sets. cant see the massive amount of swirls

03tLsNBP

iTrader: (9)

Fucking hell you're low. Looks great

iTrader: (1)

ye that was me...lgm wit a rack... yo som are hating on your emblem..but it didnt look bad... did u paint ur seats black?...or u swapped them..

03tLsNBP

iTrader: (9)

thanks! im def done painting stuff haha. no more.

thanks

all seats (except drivers seat) are swapped. paint on seats doesnt work, as i found out the hard way lol.

JterrorC

iTrader: (1)

im thinkin they crack as soon as ppl sit on it..lol.. what about the door panel looks fressh...but lets say by mistake somone nail swipes it....will it chip away?.

03tLsNBP

iTrader: (9)

its not that it cracks when people sit on it. the vinyl paint actually holds up to abuse really well on VINYL. the leather portions of the rear seat are

so it wont chip away with just a nail swipe. but the door panel inserts ARE leather. so the vinyl paint wont stick to that either. it will chip away on its own. i am going to reupholster my door panel inserts myself this summer. and also finish painting all the wood on the doors with SSM.

if you want to go this route, go professional or use a proper leather dye.

MY $30 ROOF SPOILER MOD

bought a roof spoiler on ebay at a custom length (43 inches) and taped it on the car to see how much i needed to trim








then i got to sanding and sculpting and painted it NBP







the clear coat is curing now and it will probably go on the car tomorrow morning. finished pics with the dSLR coming soon. stay tuned

JterrorC

iTrader: (1)

i hav this in my closet..lol..helltoe yo..check it out

03tLsNBP

iTrader: (9)

yeah the heeltoe spoiler is mad expensive. like over 200 bucks. this one was 26 bucks to be exact lol.

EggTL23

Have the link for spoiler?looks good actually

03tLsNBP

iTrader: (9)

ebay seller name is iris18608. they sell "trunk spoilers" but you can just ask them to make you a custom size. i got 43 inches and it was the perfect amount. i only needed to saw off a little bit and sand/shape with various grits (240 > 320 > 600 > 800 > 1000).

i will upload finished pics very soon....

EggTL23

Niice,i shall look into that.thanks bro
will be looking for the pics

03tLsNBP

iTrader: (9)

a little overexposed but here they are...

03tLsNBP

iTrader: (9)

man it would flow even better if i had the Mugen wing spoiler

kidduce

iTrader: (1)

Not bad. It looks good. How did you paint it?

03tLsNBP

iTrader: (9)

thanks. i used duplicolor perfect match.

EggTL23

Niice very Niice for the price too,mugen spoiler would set it off nicely.
Couldnt find it on ebay but ill keep looking for it.

here is the link

i asked the seller how long it was and they told me they could make custom lengths.

You should remove your spoiler and see how it looks like that. If not I guess put it back on.

fitment is not bad.. wish it hung lower tho

EggTL23

Cool,thanks bro i should be buying one shortly =)

mugenspire

iTrader: (4)

this! i think the spoiler looks a little weird on there especially with the ride being so low, but the fitment is not so bad on the ebay spoiler it looks pretty good.

xtremex626

iTrader: (1)

^exactly. i thought it was weird as hell with a spoiler on when i was slammed. once i took it off.. i looked ever lower.. and your rear literally stands out more without the spoiler.

03tLsNBP

iTrader: (9)

Idk if I want to take the spoiler off just yet. I don't have a lip kit. Its gonna look bland.

03tLsNBP

iTrader: (9)

Yeah the fitment could have been better if I spent more time on it lol

Since you are doing the sanding, fitment is all up to you.

JterrorC

iTrader: (1)

you can get the m5 type one..its bigger..hangs lower..more noticeable.. this one is m3 type

great progress! ... really like the plastidipped trim

Why don't you just take off the spoiler and show us. I'm curious to see how your car will look like spoilerless, especially now that you got that rear window spoiler.

I think you just have to take off a couple of screws.

03tLsNBP

iTrader: (9)

Sure. Next week ill take it off and take pics. I've taken it off before and the paint is etched. Ill have to really buff it out. Im getting some black housed headlights in the next couple weeks too
