Oh man, awesome car. I derive much pleasure from viewing these pictures. I am particularly fond of the LCA reducing the amount of negative camber. Excellent!

RSB feels good, steering response is a lot more balance.

Thanks, LOL. My pops still contemplating on purchasing the grill. But, I saw in person just last weekend when I had my CL9 Suspension dialed in, it looks like a winner.

While I'm not a fan of the chrome finish of the rims, the overall look - stance, kit, curves of the rims, etc. is really nice. That blue is very eye catching too, in a good way of course, haha.

i've got the same car, but no mods. but mine is a lease so there wont be many. i got my 6000k HID fogs and 6000k replacement lowbeams. also full interior LED's. i want tints but my dad is wary about letting me. i'll put pics by the end of the week. definately love your look though, besides the rims. what are your tints at? 20 all around?
