i think you need to drop the front a little more, looks like the back is dropped a little more than the front
i'd just put the front down till you only scrape a little, then match that height with the back, but to each their own
can't wait to see what else you're gonna do

i am aware that the front is a bit.. or.. well. maybe a lot? haha.. i dunno but yea, i'm aware its higher than the rear but i got lazy.. i'm just gonna wait till it settles a bit and make my final adjustments then...

No black roof? I think that would be HOT.

But then again the car looks great already. I'm sure you have tons of plans for it, but I would enjoy it as it is right now.

Well pace yourself for parts. Tell yourself you will add something to the car every 2 months or something like that. I know it's tempting, but if you rush and do shit to it, you'll get bored.

Don't get me wrong, I want to see this car totally decked out just like everybody else, but it's gorgeous the way it is right now

A nice drop, maybe some of those cool wing looking badges and you're done. Forgive my laziness, but is that badboy RWD?

When I drive reverse my car is RWD.
But still lacks torque.

I meant to say, great drop and great looking car. I would consider the badges is all.
CLASSY.

Just wondering. What made you to choose GC over WRX?

When I got my car, my options were MS3, GTI, WRX, and GC.

MS3: I just loved it the most all around.
GTI: Just a little bit girly for me. MKVI front end looks sad, literally. (my MS3 is way too happy tho)
WRX: Interior just sucked too much.
GC: ridiculous customer service.. lol

theres already a good amount of people with a WRX.. and my pops didn't like how it looks, he would choose the GC over the WRX over the AV6.. lol..

+ the tail lights sorta got to me.. didn't like it too much.

GC.. i have yet to see on in orange county.. so far.. i've seen a blue one and a red one.

That's true. Yeah, being unique was a big thing for me too.

I agree with the tail light of WRX. My friend is getting that red overlay for his. lol

Anyway, congrats again! GC definitely has a great potential! I'll come out to few meets soon. Hopefully, we can do group photoshoots!
