Red face New pics of that thing

Well, i finally put up some decent pics of my car. After slapping on some Yoko Paradas and finally putting my wheels on, i noticed that neuspeed race springs aren't low enough at all for me. so i'm on the lookout for Ground Control or Skunk2 coilovers; unless i come across some cheap teins or B+G's. gotta get rid of the wheel gap.

Anyway, an OEM front lip is coming next week. and Aero sides coming soon. not sure about the rear cuz my exhaust is already scratchin at times; i dont know if i wanna make the exhaust even lower. especially when getting rid of the wheel gaps with the coilovers is gonna drop it more already.

Please be kind with the comments

Any suggestions are welcome.


Thanx for schmeekin it


oh and the pics are in My Ride

i'm pretty sure he means the coilovers, not the springs...

anyway, awesome ride. but i can't believe a 2-inch drop isn't low enough . what size wheels do you have?

either way . tein ss /basic or tein s tech springs wont go lower than neuspeed race. we swapped on hondawerx's car. (he had neuspeed race springs). those springs are defintly go lower than lowest setting on tein ss on front. although you can tuck in on rear..

wow , i never knew that. i thought tein ss coilovers would do the trick. i guess not. :|

i guess i'm gonna have to go with GC's or Skunk2's. B+G's cost a very pretty penny so i dont know about those.

anyway, thanx for the comments so far guys

any suggestions? maybe a tint huh. what do u guys think about that light blue-ish tint that you see on bimmers and mercedes. or should i just go with the regular ol' black limo tint.


keep it jiggy

yeah, maybe. i mean, there can't be such a RS coupe. but i do like the look of it, if you dont think about the obvious fact that an RS coupe can't exist, then it seems alright. but so many ppl have them RS grills on their coupes, so...haha. without thinking, i like the look of it. but ah, maybe i might take it off.

looks nice. i'm not a huge fan of the black/silver color scheme, but the rims make it work on your car.

my only suggestion is take the RS and the LX off.

Good work!
