'08 Base Final Answer!

]I think I finally finished. Minus small things here and there, I think the major modding is done.
First time using a DSLR and half way through lighting became an issue and not knowing how to use a DSLR became a bigger issue.

yeah the visors i think are hit/miss with most people but i love them.

the silver trim in the air dam area is a sneaky thing i did.
when i installed the aspec kit, i saw the back of the air dam had two plastic air flow thingamajigs that didn't really do much. i removed them before i put on my aspec kit
i'm super glad i did because i didn't have to remove the aspec kit to remove the silver bar in the air dam when i wanted to paint it.

although the picture didn't really show it, i had forgot to paint the top of the silver part of the grill that's attached to the hood when those pictures were taken.
on my day off today i finished the job and i got to say, i really love the blacked out grill combo with the shiny chrome A logo. crappy picture of it but shows the complete grill

twisdit,
how did you like the RSB?
did it give you A LOT of oversteer? i read somewhere on here with such a strong rsb and no a stronger front sway, it completely throws off the balance of the suspension.
I want to go with the 17mm type S rear sway because of the price and the balance I want to achieve

honestly, it didnt notice that much of an oversteer. I have mine set on soft.

Awesome pictures! Shooting with a DSLR at night can be tricky. I spend more time adjusting the settings than actually moving around the car for different pictures.

Your car looks dope, I love it. The only thing I would suggest doing is getting rid of the amber in the headlights. Either way your car is hawt

^ You have to do some drilling to keep the lips on the bumper. Check the 3G garage for the DIY
