This thread is full of win because of the hot ass cars but fails at the same time because people keep quoting pictures.

Meh. I'm not sure what I think about that statement. I think the only thing that looks "Euro" or the wheels. Sorta.

Fail on both of you for quoting 50 pics at a time. I hate that shit!Not work friendly...

Nways...Here is mine. I'm going for luxury. I got the trim and grill chrome plated and I plan on getting some reflective silver legends from RonJon in the future. I also have chrome tips. I think this is after I dropped it.



And a polished intake manifold cover.

You're doing it all wrong Kevin, if you want to go for looks then take my 5AT. I'll take your 6MT and go for performance. hahaha jk

Blue Rocket -
Lower your car just a little more and it'll be perfect. I'm not saying slam it, just lower it a little more. It's hot though.

Vtec_PL -
Nobody likes your car, get out of here. I'll call it garbage.
Nah, not really. lol. Nice car, I'm just jealous of the 6MT. I hate my 5AT.

I agree completely, but I have ZERO interest in every taking apart the suspension again...it was a PITA. I could go one perch lower on my Koni's, but I should have went with coils so I had easier adjustments...

ooo yea springs are a bitch to do. i think the height looks fine the way it is because it is clean and simple. but the HD lip never really does it for me, but your install is particularly CLEANer than other ones ive seen. haha thats just me tho, your car is awesome, im jealous of the 3.5 type-S

Pretty much. Post pictures of your ride and then everyone will tell you if they think it's more sport or more luxurious. You already know what yours would be
