A couple hours work and walla!

front wheel gap is a tad too much

nice. with a lil drop (imo, at least 1") and some tints, and that car will look bad ass.

Looks good. Needs 18's or 19's though. I have the A-spec pack with 18's, and I added the wing spoiler as well. Looks awesome IMHO.

By the way, it's "voila" (pronounced 'vwalla') which means "there it is" in French, not "walla". Sorry, it's one of my pet peeves being Canadian.

ASP

Um, those are 18x8's w/ 245/40-18 Falken Ziex.

And I'm quite happy typing "walla"

I agree about the wheel gap. I'm thinking about installing the MT A-SPEC Suspension Kit to lower and level out the front/back.

lol, i don't think ASP likes you Jon. j/k.

ASP, did you paint the front calipers?? i'm just curious, since you specified you're going to get an MT ASPEC suspension, yet your front calipers don't looks like 6MT brakes (or were they like that in 04?).

ASP

The MT kit sits a little lower in the front on an auto than the actual AT kit does. Basically, putting the MT kit on an auto helps even out the rake. Make sense?

Here is a recent thread about it with photos. -> https://acurazine.com/forums/ramblings-12/laker-game-116787/

ah, good call. i thought all ASPEC suspensions were higher in the front... which is why i didn't want to get it. hmm... maybe i'll reconsider. thanks for the info, ASP.

Regardless of "height issues" the look of the car has been dramatically improved. Good Job!

ASP

Thanks SJ.

Next time I'll take the photo standing up.

looks great, i think i like the oem kit better than the ronjon body kit..

ed99

Looks better with the Aspec kit on now.

Jon_M

I guess the gap makes them look like 17's. You may be happy typing "walla" but it's ignorant.

ASP

Thanks for your input!

da_illist_onE

Go for it!

BTW car looks alot better with the kit installed.

I installed my body kit this past weekend. It was very simple. I just had one small problem. Did you drill a hole in the rear part of the body kit, around where the bracket went? See Page 3, Step 7 here
I couldn't figure out why this was necessary, so I omitted this step. I don't like taking the "easy" way out, but I seriously couldn't figure it out.

ASP

I had the same mental struggle, but I finally figured it out. The hole is drilled so you can access the bracket screw.

Hopefully this will make sense. Loooking inside the fender well . . .

If you go shroud, bracket, spoiler you don't seem to need the hole.
If you go bracket, shroud, spoiler you do need the hole and the install looks much cleaner.

ASP

I had the same mental struggle. My best guess was the drilled hole is for accessing one of the mounting bracket screws.

i'm loving your replies to Jon_M. hope you two never meet in person. haha
