IP~just started modding

This weekend I just got my lights painted and iron man's put on by Breftayka. I thought it was about time I started adding some pictures on here, even though I have a long way to go. The first mod I did to the car was actually the stereo. 2 sundown audio 10s, JL audio C5 comps, a sundown audio 100.2 for highs, and a sundown audio 1500.1 for the subs.

The car is dropped a bit on eibachs, and the rims are 20" GTR MR1s-front 8.5 +20, rear 10 +43- tires are 245/35 and 275/30 falkens. I know I need spacers in the rear. I am going to add some in the next week or two. I'm thinking 15s.

I'm really happy with the work breftayka did on the lights. It's hard to tell, but they are matte black with glossy black projectors.

I'll be getting the grille painted either this week or next, and I can't decide at this point if I should go glossy black or matte black. Any suggestions would be excellent!

Next on the list is a new bumper, mine is the base and trashed. I'm thinking of going with the ipl bumper and sides. I'm also looking at getting a diffuser, and getting the tails painted.

Then I'll do intake and exhaust mods. Let me know what you guys think so far, and please give me any suggestions you may have!












I just noticed, there was a dust spot on my camera lens...doh

Seems awfully high for being on eibach. Nice start on the modding. Keep it going.

I think it looks a bit high too, but the eibachs are definitely there. I wonder if it looks higher because it's a base? Do the sport sides and front bumper sit lower? After just reading the IPL bumper thread, I might try to snag that in the next day or so, before the price skyrockets on all colors.

Turn signals are still there; he just painted over the amber strip. Those aren't the turn signals.

Thanks for posting those pics=) Grille is getting painted next Monday, and I believe I will be getting the aero front and sides. It looks like the price has just gone up on the MW and OB front, so hopefully I can order before the price goes up on all colors. Since I am IP, it I'll have to repaint whatever color I get anyway.
