I actually liked my car when I bought it. It had the full Aspec package and I had no intention of modding. So much for that...

Looking at the first 2 sets of pictures, it's amazing to see what a set of wheels and a Aspec Kit can do for these cars.

Brian's car has made a hell of a transformation!

More so than wheels and a kit, I think the drop does far more.

Wow very nice car man. Hey just curious what happened to your rear drivers side door? I noticed its a darker shade and thought maybe it was just the lighting in the first shot, but the second one is the same to. Was it repainted and someone did a bad job of matching colors???

Wow, i just noticed that. Made me so nervous, i checked other pics and actually checked the car out in the garage. Its definitely not different colour. Maybe just a coincident with the lighting and angle of those two pics

I like the RPF1s, it just needs a drop and it will look 100x better.

Yes they are. I know they are meaty. I will be lowering the car later on in the year. I like the meaty tires thats what I need for the track. Anyway its nice to have some sidewall. Thats a 245/45/17 tire I will prob just run a 40 next time or something. So far its nice. Not the greateste thing to look at but it does feel nice and I do like the traction aspect. If this car was for show I would have gotten a bigger size. This is just the weekend take it around the outskirts of town and daily during the week in the burbs.
