The red itself is nice, but on the wheels too?

I think you should go back to stock rims. Just IMO

Oh and the RB exhaust is a good idea

Looks awesome. Keep the kosei's.. they look really nice.

Is that an OEM S5 TII lip or a repop? or something else? Where did you get it?

2nd Owner lah...I guess that I was lucky to find the car like this clean... previous owner was a grandma who baby it for 20 some years, LOL

About lip, yes... It's OEM T2 lip. I got it from eBay. I don't know if the seller is still around. He has 10 of them in that time. Colors he have for T2lips are Black and Red. The pictures were taken before I lower my rear suspension.

the reason your suspension is kind of high is because your car is still quite mint! seriously that looks like the same height it was when new, it hasn't been driven enough to sag or anything.

very clean car. keep it clean.

Paint the glass red too and install a periscope ... or cover the glass in that perforated vinyl you can see out of, red of course.

im confused... your name is The.WHITE.fc3s but your car is super red...

looks good, not a fan of red, but it defanitly looks clean... you should get some vert rims, and paint the inside red.. that'd be better than ALL red rims.

The body looks good. The grill should stay black though. And the non-matching red rims are fugly. As for first mods, intake and exhaust are basic and good.
