+1

and Dunlop Direzza to name one.

Personally the wheels kill it for me, if they were nicer with a lower offset with more concavity they would make it better.

Its too high for me too, but i think you are planning to do something with that.

If you get those eyelids definitely get them in VR, not CF.

I also suggest painting the VIS hood the way NYC DriftKing has his painted with the CF poking through the vents and the middle triangle, its too much CF for me.

Also... to continue with the theme i think you should wrap your roof black. NOT CF PLEASE

You are almost done with the exterior, just small details now. Most people go with the cheaper smaller details first.

 

Should have dropped it and gotten some lower offset wheels first instead of dumping money into exterior mods. It's too awkward looking with the big body kit and tucked wheels IMO

 

its bad to be hellasunk, but its even worse to be hellasunk and be a 4x4.

but those are easier changes compared to what he has done as of now. needs low and rims.

the only rule to follow with rims is to not cheap out, because it shows. Unless you are tracking the car, then buy cheap wheels and not care about them.

 

I wanted to paint the hood like NYCdriftking's but because it's epoxy resin over CF the body shop said it would start pealing off in a year. I don't know how he painted his, he didn't answer when I asked him. As for lowering it, there's been several times this week alone when I got out of my car and realized if it was lowered my front bumper would be toast. It seriously scares the hell out of me. I'm afraid I would forget and ram into a curb while parking.

As for the wheels, I honestly don't know what you guys are talking about, they look fine to my untrained eye. Guess I have a lot to learn...

 

Installed the AEM CAI today and took the headlights off. Gonna paint them gloss black. The inside, not the outside lol.

 

 

^paint it matte red?

 

I think you should buy a red and black jump suit to wear while you drive it.

 

yeah i really really dont like red+black color combos, at all... but if its what you like i dont care.

wheels could use a revamp..


When i talked to nyc drift king a few weeks ago he told me he painted his bumper yearly, its certainly possible he paints his alot.. though its very pretty in person.

 

Can't afford to change my wheels every week like Tiltmode, sorry.

I put 25mm spacers on like somebody suggested, then I had to take them off again because the rear tires were rubbing on the fender and ripping my brand new tires to shreds. I didn't get far enough to do any real damage, but I'm pretty pissed TBH. They're rubbing and the car's not even lowered!

Also, I'm putting a black grill on the front bumper, that should be done by mid week. I'll finish the rear bumper later.

Yes I know about the tail light.

 

Getting my fenders rolled on monday so I can use my 'new' spacers. Also, it turns out my rear suspension is shot, if I have a passenger my car will scrape going over any small bump in the road.

That being said, I was pretty much forced into getting a new set of coilovers even though I'm kinda trying to save money right now... I bought some Tanabe Sustec Pro FIVE Coilovers from JMAutoRacing, they should be here in a couple weeks hopefully. Until then

 

Thought I'd give an update. Haven't done a whole lot, I had to get new coil overs because my stocks were shot. Here's what it looks like now.

Working on getting my fenders rolled, need a day off for that, then I'll put my spacers on and it'll look right.

 

You won't need a roll with spacers. Post up pics when you do though, it will looks much, much better I am sure.

 

I second this motion.

 

I also missed your bit about rubbing and was going to say your suspension must be **** but it looks like you figured that out. With the coilovers you should be good, I have installed the Tanabe coilovers and they worked out well.

 

Everybody's a critic :P

Yeah, I got the Tanabe ones. Go ahead and laugh it up :D



I think I'm gonna get them rolled just in case, I really don't want to ruin my tires, can't afford new ones.

 

I believe those Tanabes do have a top bracket to tie the rear into the chassis. The S-0C's use the factory shock tops in the rear.

 

 

Looks better. You need some profile pics from further away with your tires straight. I can't really view your stance well from those pics.

 

Yeah, those were just some quick shots I got at the store before it got dark.

 

how many inches did you drop it by?

And where did you buy your sideskirts?

 

I honestly think painting the hood would really make the car less rice and overall really make the car look a lot better... just my opinion though.

Drop looks tons better.

 

You guys are funny

I'm working on getting the hood painted, just low on funds right now.

I only dropped it an inch or two. The whole kit is from ShineAutoProject.com

 

Wheels/strakes/painted halos kill it for me.

needs more drop.

 

The halos were definitely a bad idea, trying to replace them from Baus Auto.
