OM NOM NOM

So low dude

Intense stance

Very clean

Very nice

[AlexM.]

Thanks man, you were a big help in this process!

[Hussain]

OMG! that looks sick! hey what kind of spoiler is that?

[mmkeller]

To use a celebrity's quote, "That's HOT" nice work !

[Viper5000]

that definitely looks very good....

[AlexM.]

Thanks guys and gal. Hussain, it's the 2010 oem spoiler.

I just realized how dark these pictures are... I'll brighten them up later

[dflane39]

BEAUTIFUL!

[nismogxs21]

damn bro ur coupe looks legit with those wheels.. definitely for uniqueness

[Loop]

By far the best looking coupe on this forum second to mine Love the Work VS-XX, one of my favorite classic wheels. I would love to see more people with Volks, Works, Advans, SSR, etc...Much respect for doing it the proper way. Your hard earned cash payed off! Congrats!

[AlexM.]

Thanks Loop. Means a lot coming from you.

This has always been my inspiration. It's always been my favorite coupe:

[johnnir3volution]

Waaahhhhh? I Thought my car was your fraviot coupe

Jk, the fox marketing coupe was my fraviot until my eyes layed upon your coupe with the flat black wheels.
You're still my number one

[elfenlied8]

=( i have Advan RSD but my fitment is ugly

[downedzephyr]

your wheels look infinitely better in these pictures. great stance, good work alex! now just to get an exhaust to make the back end of your car look beefier

[AlexM.]

<3 Johnny
Zeph - After a lip, that's next on my list. But riding so low I think it's unreasonable to get a nice exhaust only to scrape / damage it. Well as long as scraping doesn't cause an exhaust leak or something, I wouldn't mind scraping it a little.
Elfenlied - Damn RSD's are nice! Lucky man

[alphapig]

Depends on the exhaust I guess, I never scrape my Stllen though. After careful flange rotation...

What I scrape on usually are those front subframe bracket things, they hang down much lower than anything else down there.

Mind snapping an upclose picture of your ground clearance one of these days?

[D-Roll]

that's sick!! good job man

[Flores45]

Baller!! looks awesome

[obstacle]

[quote="AlexM."]


my fav pic. i honestly like how the subtleness of the wheel color matches the cah

[AlexM.]

Thank you!

I finally got an alignment and my camber is now at -1 front and -3.3 rear with my toe in spec so no more worrying about running through tires



For Elfenlied, front poke shot. Sorry I took a bad picture. Used PS and just jacked up the exposure quickly so you can see the silver/polished lining of my lips. Thats the poke.




I'll try to get a more close up clearance shot. Alphapig, I didn't see your post by the time I took this picture I think. There's about 3/4 of an inch to a full inch before frame.

[Rob.Vegan]

You have one beautiful car. Has the interior had any work yet ???

[AlexM.]

Thanks Rob. Other than swapping out LED's, no work. Future plans for the interior are probably leather recaro expert m seats and a nice navi. That's about it.

[dangeris]

Very Nice...Great job!... Almost looks as good as mine

[AlexM.]

Lol thanks Dangeris.

[coupecrazy1232]

god i love VSXX's...pure sex, that color looks badass on the black!! what is the offset on those?

[paperboy42190]

nice....

[IBCoupe]

Holy crap, your a**-end is a brave kind of low. Looks sweet, dude. You give me goals.

[IBCoupe]

By the way, from a purely photographic standpoint, this picture makes my pants too tight:

[AlexM.]

Thanks guys, I just got a Top Speed exhaust and the midpipe scrapes A LOT. I was able to daily it before but idk about now. I don't mind the actual scraping but the sound of metal and metal colliding is really loud and tacky.

god i love VSXX's...pure sex, that color looks badass on the black!! what is the offset on those?

Thanks man, 19x9.5 +29 / +17

[IBCoupe]

I got tired of the scraping, and so after I raised it up in an unsuccessful attempt to try and fit some protruding wheels/tires, I decided not to lower it. Still getting compliments, and folks suggest that it's the perfect height, though I'm really digging the way yours looks.

I was never too keen on the 2010 bumper, but I think it makes more sense with the car as low as you have it. Looks sweet.
