UA7 KBP Slow Journey

After lurking for a couple years, decided to finally post

When I got her:





How she is now:



Mods:
- RV6 V3 J Pipe (patiently waiting on exhaust batch from Richie )
- ISC N1 Coilovers (1.75 inch drop all around, roughly 24.75 inch FTG)
- MidMuffler Delete with Magnaflow 10426 Resonator
- A Spec Kit (without Side Skirts)

That's about it off the top of my head lol. Oh, interior LED conversion if that counts.

Thanks for reading, and see all ya'll who are going to the Acurazine Meet in KC this year

Nice ride man. How does it sound with the mid muffler delete? I have a Jpipe myself and I love the aggressive but subtle sound. I don't like anything too loud.

I know, I'm overdue! Sooooo here's the progression (chronological) since February 2017 to June.

Before wheels get refinished!

Stockies back on. Man do the waffles look good
Photoshoot in DTLA.
Refinished wheels
Photoshoot on the LA River & Abandoned Train Tracks Area.













Such a clean AP2 <3, who was also part of the shot.





Went to my friend's graduation party, ran into an NBP Stock UA7 in the parking lot, had to park next to him and stunt LOL.

I have to ask...

Where are your other center caps?! It's driving me nuts because the car is perfect otherwise in those pictures lol.

Slow progress isn't bad progress at all, means you take planned steps that prevent you going back and re-working a mod because you know it's what you really want.

Thanks! Haha they don't fit on the rear! The waffle caps touch the lugs, the center cap as well (even with small lugs nuts

Car looks great! May I suggest removing the body side molding? I think it would clean up the car a lot better!

I had this problem on my previous vehicle with waffle/center nut "center caps" as well, they way I got around it in the rear was by buying 'open ended' lug nuts by Muteki.

Amazon Amazon

These solved my problem with the waffle not being able to 'sit' on the face of the wheel properly because of standard lugs pushing the waffle outwards.

Give it a shot!

Thanks! Haha I thought about dude, but I think I'll keep it. It would look smoother but I don't think it ruins the car's lines!

I had small open ended lugs and I still wasn't able to put on the caps on the rear!

Thanks! Yeah, I always spot Type S wherever I go. It's usually people who don't really care about the car though, to them it's just a car hehe.

Honestly I'm done with the car lol. The only thing left is just have more aggressive wheel fitment. I'm looking into an F10 M5/E60 M5. lol.
