Wtf it looks like utter CRAP with that rear bumper. No bumper or something aero-y, please.

P.S. Those look like some smooth roads.

i already paid thats why i'm in line first

i like the rear bumper on but i know it wont stay. and imo you should spray the hood black real quick until you do something crazy with it

so, we went to an impromptu meet tonight. happened to be some professional photographers there... and they liked the car. a lot. so... free sweetass photoshoot. pics will come as soon as i receive them.

rear bumper is terrible. never touching the car again. soooo shutup.

so i got to test the suspension/steering pretty well tonight on the drive home from the meet.

steering is AWESOME feeling, VERY stable at high speed. im loving the car so far. totally worth the time/wait/work/parts....

Damnnnnn dude looks great! Definitely has come a long way.

I'm gonna have to get myself a pair of those knuckles. A guy around here makes them, I plan on picking them up as soon as I have some cash to play around with.

That mexi-car is just as low, if not lower than your car. Darnell's MX6 is actually pretty sweet.

Still waiting for the good pictures... I'm very anxious to see them.

They're not from an Evo. You can buy them in packs of 10.

shuuut up about the tires. its a grip car. not a pretty car. not a show car. not a 195/20/17 profile fanboi setup. im still STRETCHED. and with PSM suspension the whole way around... EVERY gen 1 part they make, a little give in the tires is nice....

so after driving this thing, i f***ing love it. knuckles feel sweet. not shaky, feels super stable. corners quickly and precisely.

and the MX6 is on 16x8's.. sportmaxs. its LOW. not totally my cup of tea, but its fast (klze swap) and low, and got some really nice little touches. and the owner is cool as hell.
