Looking mint dude. What rims are those? They look cool. But like you said, it does need to be lowered...alot. Other than that, it looks buttery.

 

[Turbo_Freak]

Needs more low.

 

[TigBitties]

you just need coilovers, none of that other useless junk

 

[SLOWVTEC]

yeah, just broke now. but coilovers next.

 

[dsettle13]

beautiful car, itll look even better sitting on the ground.

 

[quinten]

super pics loved it and want to know more about the car can you provide?

 

[SLOWVTEC]

Yeah ^ what would you like to know?

 

[cgpEJ6]

looks like a great start

 

[evilrilla2]

looks good, needs to be lowered ineed, maybe a new grill?

 

[pinnacle-r]

What rims are those yo??

 

[Butterz]

Looks like a good base, and has lots of potential. I'm stoked to see where this goes.

This is more appropriate for members rides. Moved.

Lose the P&P HID's, switch the Type R style lip for an OEM Si, and lower it as you already know.

By all means, don't rush it and just settle for some low quality, cheap suspension.
Take some time, research and save up.
I've said this before about lowering, but it is something to think about.
If this is a daily driver, and you don't want to feel every tooth rattling bump, think twice before dropping this thing to the ground.
You'll want to find a nice medium, good handling with decent ride quality.
The lower your car is, suspension wise, it puts more tension, stress, wear and pressure on all of it's parts since the suspension is loaded differently.
Things like CV joints, boots, bushings and tie rods will take more of a beating.

Again, food for thought if you are on a budget and this is your only vehicle.

Next time turn off your head lights.

 

[crash!]

Very nice. Those wheels will look good once she's on the ground and tucking some tire
As Mr. Baker said, don't settle for cheap suspension. I did it. I regret it. I just got F&F on mine (not too expensive either) and it's so worth it.
I also say new grille and lose the spoiler and you'd be looking good

Looks great man,being broke sucks lol ive been saving up for coils but school sucks:banghead:..once lowered its going to look awesome

Thanks for the good advice, and to be honest. im not slamming like everyone thinks. im one of those kids that likes different things. i really just want to drop it at most one and a half inches. some skunk 2's will do the trick or some KW's. but seriously thanks a ton for the advice - much appreciated
