Regardless, nice steal
It was actually a GX sticker, and I took it off, because there wasn't one on the other side... that's just the glue residue that I've been to lazy to take off...

Thanks guys, the wheels are growing on me too. She looks better in pictures though, still a 50 foot car haha!

On the Way? Racing Beat Header and full custom 2.5 inch Dual outlet exhaust, for just a little more oomph.

That'll sound mean. You still need to lower it.

For sure, lowering the car is on the list. Any products you recommend on the cheap?

Nice.

I think if you powder coated the rims a bronze of gunmetal dark silver, it'd be a cheap way to get that car looking even nicer and harmonized to boot :p

edit btw really digging the hdr (or w/e) pictures heh

Yeah that would look really good. Thanks about the pictures too, Paint.net does wonders when you know what you're doing.

Lowering on the cheap?


Cut springs.

Ground control coilover sleeves on stuck struts.

Camp out on ebay and the club looking for that oh so rare $400 used coilover setup......

There *is* a chance that someone could have taken the 5-lug setup for their car and swapped it in for a 4-lug. I mean.. 5-lug swaps have to come from somewhere, right?

hm lower it and throw some spacers on those wheels. wheels dont look to bad IMO, just the offset is bad.

dunno if id bother putting coils on something you spent that little on, no offence. keep it on a budget and have fun with it.
