buy a lip from ROB and some cool JDM wheels, i think 4x114 might be easier to find, because of the s13/14 crowd

find some springs and color it done

cutting the bottom half below the molding on a s5 bumper off

cut the bottom half off of your s4 bumper leaving a little room underneath the molding

rivet the s5 bottom half onto the s4 top half. ive seen a few people do it on here. once you cover up the rivets its not so bad looking

I'd lower it and throw some wheels on. Do coilovers though...drop springs will just take your car from 4x4 to stock. Megans are fine IMO unless the car is actually gonna be used for track.

Make sure you use some of the money to do some work under the hood. Plugs, wires, cooling system, fix any leaks...things like that. Nothing worse than spending all that money on your FC and it sits in the driveway

well all i need to do under the hood is put a new clutch slave cylinder in.. its got new plugs and everything.. i might get a better radiator and mbbe an efan. and i need a new main cat to pass smog in october.

and i know this is a little off subject but w/e its my thread... i pulled a few of my plugs and they have like light brown/ orange tips.. and if my memory serves me that means they are running hot right? anyways.. should i get a different type of plug to stop that from happening?

The coilovers will give a rough ride, just depends on the driver.

The other side of this bridge is pure heaven for high speed runs, no entrance ramps, no houses, no nothing, just beach and dunes

IIRC, ssr mesh and other styles of wheels came in good offsets and in four lug too.

15-16" wheels (or even the wheels you have now but with smaller diameter tires) and a lip would be pretty good.

You could go with a shock and coilover sleeve setup for cheaps...well, reletively cheap. Koni yellow with sleeves is a pretty common but overlooked in most cases setup.

I would put an engine in the car first though. Seriously.

Looking hard at it, sorta mustang esq. Like older mustang. Just needs the lights and a pony grille. Lol. That's terrible.

S5 bumper with lip looks sick. Better if you dont want to go with an all out full kit.

The RE amemiya kit is pure sexy. Maybe because i have the utmost respect for those guys, what they do and what has came out of that shop.
