Well, I thought I would post this picture as a "before" shot because my exterior modifications are getting done when I get my skirts and wheels which are both taking forever. I expect to have them both shortly. I will add the "after" pics when she is complete.



These pics were taken at the car wash at 9pm tonight just for you guys. Obviously, they are not the best but will hopefully give you a taste of the new exterior.

OEM rear extensions, JDM dealer option sides, GT4 front, wings west mid spoiler, and new wheels and tires. I just have to wait to receive the wheels and sideskirts.

Turbo will follow shortly thereafter.

I'm confused. Doesn't your profile indicate you already have most of these mods, and the pics suggest it too. What's the deal? Did you go back to stock at some point. Sorry to be clueless.

Nah. The picture shown is the car with the 3sgte. The rims in my profile were sold to Kdash because I wanted new ones. I put the stockers back on until they came. I took that picture in May. The new wheels and spacers are installed and I am having the GT4 front end and new spoiler installed next week. The only thing left is new turbo, skirts and new seats. Then, I will be on to my next project.

Actually, I was just happy to finally have the body work scheduled and I wanted to share my news with my fellow enthusiasts. Thanks for the kind words though.

LOL! it already died once, Notice the original post date. It's called proper board etiquette. When you have news related to a thread you've already created you bump that topic so the boards aren't cluttered. IMHO you're post sucks and is kinda pointless.

Mine is also in the body shop, I'll give a before and after pic when she's done. for now I'm just putting on 404 skirts and front lip, along with some laser fenders. I'm going from stock red to a nice blue. Next plans are for some jdm tails.

I bought them from bulletproofautomotive.com. They are about $225 for the pair IIRC. The wait was long but these are VERY nice units. They are designed to reduce body flex. I don't know if they will help. To be honest, the car doesn't flex much the way it is. DGPerformance makes some knock-off units and he claims that they helped alot.
