Very nice!
Your garage is bigger than my first apartment when I lived in Vegas.

LOL - the whole time I was looking at the car - I was really thinking "Damn that is a sweet sized garage - nice floor too" ...then I see I was not alone in that thought. Car looks great.

agree with what most people have said already. but is it just me or is the color of the kit off? this is the second set of pics for an athracite car i have seen that appears to be really off. maybe its just the photos and it might look better in person.

The color is off, very common with the kits. Very nice ride though.

HID's in the fogs? What brand and how many K's? Looks like a good match. I also like your windshield strip, it complements your front lip of the A-Spec kit.

The screens were done at my house I do wholesale parts my installer charges $350 for each headrest 7" monitor. You can send them to me and I can get them done and send them back to you. As far as the springs go they are just the tein s type sprint no coilovers. has a great ride. The kit kit is a little off color but in the sun daylight it looks much better.

So it rides pretty smooth? How bad was your camber off? Within specs? Do you have a camber kit?

Nice car and garage!

Your car looks awesome!! The Se7en's look really nice on there, and combined with the aggressive stance the Tein's give the car, it's pretty sick.

what are the specs on the wheels? they seem to be too inside. a lower offset would look much better... or perhaps some spacers.

He is probably running a factory offset of 45mm. IMHO i think they look fine. If they were to stick out more he will probably run the risk of throwing debris at the body of the car. Also he may run a risk of rubbing on the rear fender and need to get it rolled (doubtful but a possibility).

Do you know how big and unsafe a 1" spacer would be? Maybe a 5mm spacer but even then I am not a fan of spacers.
