Almost Done I just need to get the Stillen pieces painted

[antmo0730]

So I just got back from Iraq last week on Monday and I'm almost done with the mods/add-ons for my car. This is what the car looked like before I left with these 18" Bacarrat Passion Black rims (I hated them by the way)

I ordered the 19" KONIG Sideways back when Stillen had that huge discount on rims. This is how they turned out.

The same day I ordered the Eibach pro-kit from Stillen, but I guess since I have the 2.5 the rear suspension is a bit softer than the 3.5 so it rubs in the back now. The tires are 245/40/19 but I guess it couldnt take it after the drop. I am in the process of putting spacers in the rear. Front:Rear:

I also have the Stillen Front Lip and Rockers. I'm still debating on color matching it or painting it dark slate kinda like they do on the monte carlo's but I dont know yet. I may get the Fox Marketing rear peices to complete the scheme all around. We'll see how that goes.

This is the Ebay Spoiler, its not new I just figured i would add it.

I have the Premium+Tech package but I wanted to add an extra sub in the back so I got the 10" JL W6 in a Stealth box (I forgot the actual model the box was orignally made for) and the installers did some fabricating to the box to make it look like its apart of the car. With an Alpine MRP-M500 It sounds pretty good. I'm Pleased.

I have the Injen Intake in Polished Black but it doesnt seem necessary to post pics when almost everybody on here has either the Injen or Fujita, it all looks the same. Also I'm sure some of you are gonna bash the grill but I ordered the Black T-Rex Premium grill like the first week of this month from Autoanything, but they are on back order and wasnt shipped out until the 21st so I should have it anyday now.

I am also selling the rims and tires I had before with extra "chrome facets" if anybody wants them just email me.

oooooooooooo whered you get that w6 custom box etc? Whatd it set you back for the box and sub? Was installation hard?

[antmo0730]

I got everything from this place called Winchester discount audio and they had the sub already in the stealth box but they could not sell it. So when I inquired aobut it he gave it to me for $350. Then we went outside to check on fitment and the installer said that he could probably sand it down a bit to try and fit it in that pocket on the side and charged me only for 4 hours which was like $250. They ended up actually cutting the box re-fiberglassing it, and molding it in there. But he didnt charge me for the extra labor. So I got everything done with 12+ hrs worth of work for $900. I did notice on Crutchfield that they have a buttload of stealth boxes so I would just get one from them and try to modify it a bit.

hey antmo-- the new konigs are easier on the eyes-- good choice.

You've got the same tires as me and wheel size-- but what offset are your Konigs?

I also rub in the rear. To solve the issue I put my rear OEM springs back in and left my Eibach springs in the front.

Let me know how the spacers work out for you / which you get / etc...

[antmo0730]

I'm not sure what the offset is honestly. Where would that be? On the box? I tried to put the spacers on myself and ended up cutting my hand on the piece behind the rotor...I think its a heat shield. Watever it is It made me have to get 3 stitches. So I'll have to get them put on on monday.How does it look with just the springs in the front?

Looks real good.

cant wait to see it with the stillen parts painted. i would suggest color matching them to the car.

much better choice on wheels, they look great

old wheels= (just my opinion)

purchasing the pro-kit eibach and only using the fronts is a waste because the factory springs are absolute crap. you have options with all that. 1. lowering your tire profile. (yes your spedom will be a little off, but a couple few mph at or around 60 isn't that big of a deal.2. Have your fendors rolled by someone using the bolt on tool and not a baseball bat.

I personally would choose choice number 2. Will save you money and it's not something you can see. instead of the fendor portion just above the highest part of your tire being a 90 degree L shape, it can be bent to a v shape for about 3 to 5 inches wherever your tire is coming in contact with the fendor. It's safe and easily done and takes less than 20 minutes per side.

[08altima35]

well, there's actually 3 options.

Purchasing stiffer dampers will keep you off your fendor as well. They're just not out for our coupe's yet.

[08altima35]

oh yeah and one more thing while i'm on a rant. I have FM rear caps that I'll let go for very cheap if you want. I've already sanded/prepped them and the only thing they need is primer, paint, and clear coat. Let me know if you're intereted. [email protected]

looks good! post pics when you get your grill. i was thinking about getting the same one so i wanna see how it turns out in black. thanks!

[antmo0730]

Thanks for the advice. I will try to get the spacers but if that doesnt work then I'll get the fenders rolled. If all else fails I'll just take off the rear.
