Louith's "I'm getting older" Build Thread
I bought this car to better suite my 'Age' in 2014. i was getting older, needed a “grown up” car i guess. I came from a 2007 Honda Civic Si that i put a lot of hard work into but it all came to an end when i hit a deer and the insurance company called it a total loss. See my honda build thread here: They called her G I Cho

On to my current build. I have to hunt for alot of photos so bare with me as i update this as i can. July 2014. The day i brought her home. https://i1005.photobucket.com/albums...pseztzte0d.jpg i kept her fairly stock for some time. Nov 2014. I lowered the car, baked the headlights and painted the housing black, wheels, and stuff. lol. Mods done but have no photos currently: Tien S-techs with Tokico blue shocks R2C intakes Cusco strut bar Ark Exhaust Fast intentions test pipes https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8597/1...6f507095_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7570/1...ea052c73_b.jpg Dec 2014. I added the Autokits v2 rear diffuser. https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7532/1...585f76e7_b.jpg Jan 2015. thought it was time to add an IPL bumper. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4775/3...aff2f3f3_o.jpg May 2015. Thought my car was sitting too low so i decided it was time to ditch the springs and shocks i had and swap them with KW V1 coilovers. Also added a roof spoiler. https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8704/1...28f6b821_b.jpg June 2015. added an Outcast garage splitter to the IPL bumper https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4778/2...3e434684_o.jpg August 2015. IPL Side skirts added. Then Side splitters were added as well. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4786/2...017e5537_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4775/3...1cda8186_b.jpg September 2015. Wrapped my roof with 3M carbon fiber vinyl. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4788/4...30778859_b.jpg November 2015. Mirror caps and steering wheel trim hydro dippin in CF https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4773/2...74ed76d5_b.jpg January 2016. I ripped out my tail lights and the spoiler to get some work done. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4781/3...906f0e7f_b.jpg April 2016. Since my car is down. i told myself it was time to do something to the car so i wrapped my interior with more 3M CF wrap https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4783/4...13995d04_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4783/3...20609962_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4772/4...aff5c8fc_b.jpg May 2016. ALMOST 4 months later, i finally get my spoiler back. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4788/2...7e795e32_b.jpg Since it thought it wasnt going to take long for my tail lights to be finished, i figured, what the hell.. ill send out my headlights for work too! https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4771/4...3d2fff16_b.jpg June 2016. I sent out my engine cover to get hydrodipped. very happy with the outcome. https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0...e0&oe=5836019A July 2016. Cleaned up the engine bay some by selling my R2C intakes and bought a set of Stillen Gen 3 intakes. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4795/4...63cdf4bd_b.jpg August 2016. Finally got my lights back. and got a carbon fiber steering wheel. and my radiator cover hydrodipped https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.myg...e3b23fecc3.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8434/2...78655821_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8238/2...37ea1a8f_b.jpg September 2016 Emblemless grill.

With very limited choices on hoods, i like this option the best. clean and simple. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.myg...3ad0a5b2b8.jpg July 2017 Had the underside of my hood painted with the Rising Sun in Space Gray https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.myg...e25d6147b2.jpg Also took home a couple of trophies in July. Took home 2nd place G35/G37 on July 23rd at ImportExpo in DC. I was pretty happy with this win. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.myg...cedabd3b60.jpg I took home 3rd place Infiniti at Tuner Evolution in Philly on July 29th. This one was a COMPLETE shock. First and Second were both Liberty Walk G37s. There were a couple nice M's there, an LS swapped G35. Completely shocked and happy that i took home this honor. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.myg...5b115a0094.jpg October 2017 Updated my interior some more. Took off all the CM wrap and had my interior dipped. Door panels and arm rest changed from leather to blue Bride material. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.myg...acfb23fdcb.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.myg...e55d4e7310.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.myg...32a3224c57.jpg January 2018 Finished the rear panels with the same blue Bride material. Headliner changed over to suede. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.myg...e7deb418b9.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.myg...270f3e7baf.jpg November 2017 Took home top 25 at Import vs Domestic at Maryland international raceway https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.myg...c522ce3ff0.jpg |
