Really, that's a little silly. I mean anyone can look at your plate when your driving down the road or when it's parked.

Yes but the internet just makes it easier, especially when a majority of posts contain specific info about mods.

Its just a personal precaution in posting photos on the internet he chose to take, it doesn't affect your life in consequential way, so lets get back to the koukis.

yeah but who really writes down plate numbers while they drive? Maybe if it's parked but then people don't know what's under the hood...the internet has so much exposure

i work part time at pep boys lol

I've had the car for a little over 3 years and it's just been a work in progress ever since but my "secret" if you will would just be getting good deals. My wheels were 50, my coils were 200, my exhaust was 150..I do EVERYTHING myself so I just buy parts..My dad and I painted all the k's aero, and I even welded the exhaust at home, so it's just a mixture of saving, getting good deals and doing all the work myself.

Spooled please stop posting pics of your car. It makes me want to spend ridiculous amounts of money on mine. Those damn OEM areo kits arent cheap.

yeah but those parts stores like autozone and pep boys pays their workers pretty low so what do they get for staff? kids fresh out of high school that picked up a wrench all but a few times lol

im trying to trade a guy some parts for an apexi n1 dual cat back. im stoked. none of my buddys like the duals, i love em.

i just picked up a knock off k's spoiler like yours. doesnt mount very good. i think if i leave it bolted on a hot day it might settle a little better. hopefully. only paid 100 bucks though, supposedly it hasnt been used but it was rattle canned

Oh yes, I watched them back out of their driveway, yelled, screamed, they drove away regardless.

Thats when being family friends with some PO's come in handy.

Haha! I'm too poor to buy coilovers, but it'll probably be my next purchase. When I do get coilovers, i'm not going to put my car on the ground. Haha.

that's what everyone says, even i said "I'm just gonna lower it an inch so there's no wheel gap"

but then comes the day when you "experiment" with how your car looks on the ground...that's when you usually stay low cuz you don't wanna go higher after seeing your car sick on the ground

Thats exactly why I dont want to drop mine any lower, even just to see what it "looks" like.

Trust me it will be a worthy investment. Also if you go too low, be prepared to kiss that lip goodbye.

That's exactly why I don't want to slam the car. It took me forever to get an OEM lip, and they're expensive as hell. I just don't see the point of going super low. It destroys your car for the most part. I Just want to get rid of my wheel gap.
