A friend and I did the paint it came out really good for no booth. We just buffed the whole car after painting the bumpers and trunk but next spring I might get a new fresh paint job and put it on airbags

Great progress. You had the aspec spoiler and swapped it for an aftermarket lip? I'm curious about the best/most cost efficient way to do this. I have the aspec spoiler and am sick of the look. Any insight on how you did yours?

I had a good friend take some pictures for me and do a small photoshoot. I should be having about 2 more photoshoots done in the next two weeks by two other photographers.


The car was filthy so i washed waxed it and added some polish to the wheels

Thanks man it was really dirty when i brought it up there the pictures dont do justice to how agressive the stance really is. It always looks like a monster truck.

I figured I would put an update on what's going on with my car. It just entered the bodyshop today and started getting stripped down.


Took the nasty bump strips off

You sir are one of the few on here that have pulled of 20's very nicely. I'm not a huge fan of having to run that much negative camber in the rear, but I guess in order to get a 20x10.5" +20 rim to fit, it has to be done. Car looks great though, keep it up!

Thanks I appreciate it they are coming off too much camber for me I don't like it and they also rub too much in the rear

I was going to paint a different color but my jams aren't getting painted and I didn't want the black to be too off. I don't mind Nhb and it should look good with the added and more coarse pearl
