Your car is looking really good . Now I really can't wait until Spring time, so I can install my HT-Spec type 2 coilovers & rims on mines.

Your ride looks great overall man! The nitpicks have already been pointed out, so I won't repeat them. I do think sorting out a few of the minor imperfections would really finish her up nicely. Way to make the bold choice and rock the Greddy's, I am as well Much more uncommon on 2Gs like mine though. One recommendation I would give is to go with a black vinyl on the roof to match your rims and flow with the tinted windshield to the back window. On SSM it looks sick.

I also enjoyed the variety of shots you took in location and time of day, well done!

yeah i dont think they will fit with the kit but im not 100% sure. just take them off right now, gives the car a cleaner look.

you should be fine with the lip. i was maxed out on the basics and had no problems. the aspec lip slides over the bumper so its only and inch lower at the most. i had to raise up a couple of threads because i got wheel spacers and was rubbing in the back and still had to role my fenders. do you rub at all or are your fenders rolled?

Looks SICK man!! This really makes me want to go with the a-spec and some 19's. Have you ever thought about doing your calipers yellow? Like a "porsche/ferrari" type yellow?

This thread gave me the idea for yellow on silver:

Thanks, yeah some people dont like black rims because its hard to see the lines/shape but i really like them. i might change the wheels to some other color down the road though.
