alright so this past weekend i installed megan coilovers, roof spoiler, and brake light decal. here are some pics for your viewing pleasure.

brake light decal











i need to get a night time shot with it lit up...forgot to do that yesterday.



roof spoiler...that outta hold it.





i need to curve up the edges a bit more...crappy chineeze adhesive promoter



raw pics



i was thinking i need to go a little lower in the rear...what do you all think? any and all suggestions are welcome regarding the stance as a whole. lemme know!



forgot to close my door...

















and it's real difficult to get a good pic of the VIS CF hood...plus it was overcast yesterday...so this is the best i can do for now.

Awesome pics Aaron! The cf hood looks great

What's the decal over the brake light? Looks like some sort of logo?

I think you should dump the car another inch but lowering the rear a little more wouldn't hurt

Pix look good dude I say the front is perfect, just bring the rear down a touch to flush it up. How do you like the roof spoiler? I was thinking about getting the same one here soon.

Overall though, love your car

thanks again for the hookup tyler.

the decal on the brake light is an "srh" spade logo. it's a company logo that i like. i wear a lot of their stuff and like the design.

i will probably lower the rear a little more...maybe the front...idk. i don't want to slam it, i already scrape on unfamiliar dips and driveways.

Your car already looks good

Go down 0.5 inch in the back and 0.25 inch in the front and your car = sex

My roof spoiler comes in tomorrow I hope it's a good fit
And don't worry about the scrapes it's just under the car after the first big scrape you won't even worry about it anymore lol

megans are great...still trying to figure out if i want to stiffen up the damper a bit. gotta test the waters a bit more. i think i will lower the rear as well, thanks for the advice.

your car looks great! i would lower it a little more all around but thats just just me...you will get used to driving lower and won't scrape or bottom out just because you will know where you can and can't go...
