New pic on pg 2 THE FINAL TOUCH

so finally i got around taking a few photos of my car and its progess so far for the pass two years. i did not do much due to money. but still have alot in mind. flames are welcome...jus say whatever you have to say.

mods so far:
DIY blacked out headlight and blacked out tail light
DIY OEM factory installed
DIY grill top and bottom
5% tink on the 3 back windows, 20% in the front
Tsunami trunk spoiler, i do have the roof to but looks weird without a bodykit. so i have to get a bodykit before that thing goes on again.
Weapon-R intake
Neuspeed front upper strut bar
Tein Basic coilovers
SPC camber kit front and rear

future mods:
revo ss short shifter w/ alumimun bushings (coming soon)
DC5 clear side markers (coming soon)
HKS-hi power exhaust
progress sways front and rear w/ hotchis endlinks
HFP front and rear aero kit w/aerogear sideskirts
Konig 18" imagine w/ undecideded tires

that should finish the car...

now on to the pictures....the first two pictures is from the first two weeks i just had my car.




photoshoot i just did recently...i'm not good at takin photos so yeah. the rear looks HIGH i know...i have two finger drop all around and i think its because of the handbrake that the back looks high.







my camber is right...i tink it was because of the angle i was taking the picture at making it look weird.








only shoot of the engine...



hope you guys enjoyed the pictures...more to come in the near future.

That's cool. I like the silver look, and the headlights. What are you planning on doing?

Eyger...what did u mean by you lik the silver look? the grill u mean?

chico...ty for the reply...do u have the same color car also?

Ambulance MOnkee...ty for the comment, and yea i would lik my drop to be a one finger gap or maybe half but the road here in san francisco is pretty bad so that is as far as i can go for comfort.

i personally think the tein basic is not as good as i thought it would be. but i will have to stick with it for a couple of years before i can look into gettin a different set of coilovers. i seriously feel that my neuspeed strut bar was a better mod then the tein basic!

mani is kool - i actually brought both tsunami roof and trunk from a local performance shop. if i remember correctly, i brought the trunk spoiler for $250 and the roof for $180. paint didnt cost anything cause i had a buddy of mine do it for free. but u get what you pay for...the paint job on it wasnt that good. o well.

mr. fobster - damn i wish i would got the info from you earlier. i paid $135.00 for a lifetime alignment at firestone. ghey part is that i can only take it in once every 6 months. but if i do need help i'll for sure hit you up.

Re: PICS INSIDE..first time posting pic

I was going to say the same thing but everyone that replied to my post on what to do to my tails said to leave them stock. That does look pretty sick. Im sure its a vinyl sticker that you just lay over it and cut out for the reverse lights.

LOOKS SWEET!!!

Re: PICS INSIDE..first time posting pic

you guys be surprise how i blocked out the reverse light. i used a roll of tape to match the circle, and cutted out a piece of tape covering it. The brand i use is VHT nite-shades.

54321r - u can always black it out and if you dont like it, you can always wipe it out with some paint-thinner.


ty for all the comments guys.

anyone think a 2003 WRX for 18k too expensive? has roughly 30k miles. or an evo MR 2005 for 26k wit 13k miles.

Re: New pic on pg 2 THE FINAL TOUCH

OUCH! There's DEER in San Francisco?! Where is he now anyways? Bet he's worse off than you. Sorry to hear this, glad you're alright tho. This is incredible, 35mph, I mean even your airbags went off.

LOL, sorry... "The Final Touch", such irony. Man, I'm gonna start watching more for those deer, everyone hitting them all the time I feel like I'm due to hit one myself.

I like your new choice of cars, I wouldn't even modify those, they're nice enough.
