My Update

So I've changed up a few things on my car, but I haven't really posted anything in a while.

Here's a little update. I'll do a better photoshoot later and post pics of the general progression of my car later too.



As always, comments and critiques are more than welcome. But I know, I need a better shoot done.

Post #4 shows the progression of my car

EDIT: Let me know if it needs resizing. It looks fine on my computer, but just wanna make it easier on others' eyes.

Looking pretty good man. Looking forward to more pictures for sure. I personally would ditch the halogen fogs though and go to a LED or HID setup for a cleaner look. I'd also look into Aero/IPL sides. Would definitely set it off, and what are you lowered on?

Thanks man.

I never thought about fogs or side skirts, to be honest. Fogs might be a possibility, but IPL sides, I never really cared for. It's definitely a thought though.

I'm on KW V3's. I wanted to keep it functional for the track.

Ok, so here's a slight progression:

First round of mods, with H&R Sports and 20mm spacers in the front and 15mm in the rear:

Views: 47
Size:  88.7 KB

2. Name:  IMG_909722.jpg
Views: 71

Then I went here:

Views: 66
Size:  65.4 KB

2. Name:  IMG_9266232.jpg
Views: 48

Then I did this to my mirrors:
Name:  IMG_9408.jpg
Views: 46
Size:  42.9 KB

And I continued and did this (don't mind the lab gloves):
Name:  IMG_9409.jpg
Views: 45
Size:  59.2 KB

Here's what they looked like on the car (I did a little touching up since then, added a few more things here and there too):
1. Name:  IMG_9451.jpg
Views: 70
Size:  48.4 KB

2. Name:  IMG_9452.jpg
Views: 55
Size:  49.3 KB

Then I did this:
My Update-x6fpp.jpg

Then I turned it all around and did this (this is basically how it sits in OP):

And here's a bonus GTR:

Thanks guys!

Wheels are Volk G2's, 18x9 +33 & 18x9.5 +25. I'm now on KW V3's. It's corner balanced to me, so depending on the size of my poop in the morning, the front left side changes height, as you can see in the picture.

The H&R's were cool and all, but I just wanted a more functional setup.

Got a lip for my car:

It underwent some "high-speed testing" at LVMS last weekend, so I'll readjust it in a few weeks, when I do my brake ducts too.

Thanks man! It's going to be kinda hard to do the brake ducts, I don't really want to cut the fender liner anywhere, but it looks like I'll have to...

I've been looking for this thread forever couldn't find it. Wanted to get another look at your side mirrors covers. Thinking about doing something similar as yours. They look good.

I deleted my last thread, I put this one up recently. Thanks for the compliment! If you can't think of anything to draw, just feel free to copy what I have on my mirrors lol. Sharpie buddies.
