2007 Stomy blue mica mild build begins!
*UPDATE 3/7/08 POST #53 on 3rd page!*
Finally got my car back after the accident, the next day already at the shop putting on some of the parts i had laying around.
This is going to be the official build thread that will be updated periodically with new mods when they are installed! Stay Tunned!
Thanks to blacey's Auto sales, for letting me use his lift and a helping hand. There located off of rt. 571 in NJ. All your auto needs, and a u-pick-it junkyard.
Turbo XS mid pipe
Before:
After:
TanaBe Sway bars!~
When i bought these the vendor said it will fit on the 2007's, well the metal bracket/brace, didn't fit on the bigger rubber, it was two short. I fab up a litt;e something but i couldn't do the same for the front, so only the rears are on now until I can get a longer brace. I'll call tomorrow.
And some nice shots my friend edvis took.

sweeeet!! even with that stock external look..
i personally like those oem amber corners and no strakes
just detailing the car makes it stand out better than body kits
(couldn't resist posting a reply)

My first 8 was white. I loved it. 2005 and in my opinion it was the best color available at the time. When I first saw a stormy blue driving down the road I fell in love with that color. I'm not saying I'm glad my white 8 go totaled but now that everything has sorted out and I have a stormy blue 2008... yeah... pretty happy guy. This color just looks to insanely good in any light. It really is awesome. At night it looks black and in the daylight depending on the amount of sunlight it looks all kinds of crazy shades of blue.

i saw it for the first time in a dim parking lot while it was raining and thought it was purple or that someone had it custom painted. but then i went home and looked it up and it's been one of the color choices i'm yearning for for my next car.

It did require some modifications, grinding down the little rivet on the stock catback pipe that goes to the big muffler can on the back so i could twist it to align with the turboxs mid pipe, took 5 mins to mod. nothing major.
