Nice. Now you just have to lower the car to match your stance.

Yeah, looks cool. I'd save up another 1300 and buy some super nice coilovers and slam it.

Slamming it, no. The ground effects would rip right off lol. I'm looking at going with the Tokico Illumina shocks & springs.

Where did your solid black rims go? Do you have both? I think the car looks way better with the rims on your user photo. Just wondering. Nice car!

Re: new grille :D

I sold those to a friend and used the money to buy the evo3 big16g turbo :P. I however do have 2 sets of rims for the car. The 18's that are on it in the picture and another set of GSX rims that are painted black. I'm possibly looking to sell the GSX rims since I don't have much use for them now that I have a 2nd car for the winter but we'll see I guess.

Not lowering it? Maybe you should get larger tires or something, just kinda looks awkward with all that wheel gap.

Re: new grille :D

Looks really nice. I would take out that mesh grill on your bumper and it would look a lot better IMO.

I went with this set up (Tokico Illumina with Eibach Pro Kit) and I really like it. I have a '98 Talon TSI AWD and it lowered it about 1.5".

The FMIC looks great!

Re: new grille :D

Yeah I'm most likely gonna leave the mesh on just because it tends to keep the intercooler clean by collecting all the junk that flies around like cigarette buds people fling out from their cars.
