Looks good, I'm glad to hear spacers are on the way I hope it's at least 15mm

Few things are confusing me tho

1. You clearly like red, why tint the tails?
2. What the hell is going on with the headlights/eye lids
3. The burger and mustache should be chrome to match the wheel lip
4. The random carbon fiber bits aren't working
5. The wheels (re they HRE's?) need center caps
6. Any chance of taking off that front plate?

I actually think what he did with the headlights is pretty interesting. Its matching his color and its transparent. However, I think he was trying to go for the GT-R style lights, which isn't bad looking but I think it shouldve just stayed red too, it would've flowed much better with the theme. But again, it doesn't look bad! If anything, you could say by blacking out his tails along with having a black trunk lip could sort of match his blacked out grille. Just a random guess as to why he did it that way.

But ya, plates gotta go =D

Well lets c. With the headlights I wanted to b different with them because everyone that had the same type of eyelids did there's in black so that's why I got a translucent red to match the car.

The tail lights I did when I had got back the car from the body shop cause I like the way they look, back then I didn't really like how everything was red it's not a dark "blacked out" tint it's light.

The carbon fiber pieces I got around the same time I did the tail lights. That was when I was going to wrap the roof trunk and hood in carbon fiber so that's why I got them. Might spray them black to match the front grill

Now with the front grill I didn't like the gray color it had so I sprayed it black and the body shop had sprayed the mustache pieces red an it started to flake off and they had sanded down the chrome on it so I just painted them black

The center caps are coming in I had to order a couple more because when I bought the rims the other owner had lost 2 of them

I have the spacers for the rear. Yes they are 15mm just waiting on the extended studs to put them on

I really want to remove the front plate, but for some reason there is three holes under there. The two for the bracket and one more random one so That's what's stoping me from taking it off. I think I might put my red b**** plate there instead.

An the wheels are DCR wheels

I like the red eyelids, sort of like my blue ones. I wish mine were darker though.

It's funny I was just about to post a picture of your car lol. I love the red overlays, it's way better than the black tint. People need to realize black doesn't work on all colors..oh well can't teach good taste. ;)

Damn..that pretty nice! I like the drop man...did you have to roll your fenders? Most likely huh? Why did you go for KSport coilovers? Just wondering.

thanks, my fenders are trimmed not rolled... needed the extra space and i pulled them a little.

i went with ksports because my boy has them on his STI and they ride nice even when they are really low.
they aren't as bouncy as other coils, also they go low :mike
