How do you guys like the new gap? :) New set of wheels is coming soon. I'm looking for a set of 18x8.5 or 18x9 with high 20s or low 30s mm offset. Anyone in Houston wanna sell theirs?

Thanks Jesda,Nothing special for the interior for now, that's why I didn't take any interior picture. However, I will be putting a carputer with an integrated touchscreen LCD in the place of the factory double din stereo very soon. Also looking to buy 3 pairs of speakers and an 6-channel amplifier to replace the Bose system. I'll keep you guys posted on this project with many pictures.

Looks so much better. Stock looks like that pickup truck in the background lol

I'm planing on getting the Teins which lower about 2" and also planning on 18's.

Very clean man.

Ummm...how do I put this....I took out the front wheels, looked at them for about half of an hour (the front struts and wheel hubs are in one piece, unlike the factory manual diagrams)...:eyecrazy , and then...I put the wheels back on. :D I paid some mechanics to install the springs.

I'm interested in the details of your carputer setup! Do you mind sharing the specs? Which TFT screen/brand are you going with? Are you buying a pre-made carputer, or building one up from scratch yourself?

Thank you,It looks much nicer than stock, but I think the gaps are still a little taller than I lusted for. Hopefully it looks better with the 18". Please let us posted when you buy the Tein springs/shocks. If they're available anytime soon, I think I'll try them next time. Duy

Your welcome. The Tein springs are a special order, and my friend is a Tein dist. so he's gonna get them for me. Wish I could find shocks too, I've seen them in Japan, but they're heavy and would cost quite a bit to ship here. I should have the Teins on my car in about a month, I'll def. post it.

Any idea if you can get the Xanavi system that comes stock in Japan to work over here? I know the buttons are on opposite sides for some things and a few of them are in Japanese (I'm taking a Japanese class, so I can figure that out, plus my wife is 100% pure JDM). I love the way that center console looks and I see them pretty cheap on yahoo! Japan auctions.

You mean one like this? :D JDM Q45 Nav I'd love to get my hands on one of those try to see if it works, although I doubt it does. If it goes for cheap, like $100, I'd take a chance with that Nav system.
