(EJ8) Some clean pics

[RedLine42]

A real nice day so I figured I wash and wax it and take some driveway pics haha.
Yeah I know the lights I got are ricey but I got them cheap cause I had a busted OEM headlight.

Possibly Upcoming Mods/Things to do -

AGX KYB Struts
Skunk2 Springs 2.5F - 2.25R
Black Housing Type R replica Headlights / Possibly Fogs
SI Wheels
SI Lip
Put my Type R grill on.
Put my rotors and brake pads on.
Testpipe
TR Seats
Take out the back seats
Tint
New back bumper
Finish removing the Pinstripe

Looks great man exactly like mine except I don't have a spoiler
I think you should drop it first, that's what I'm doing since I just got my Ground Control coilovers.

not a big fan of the headlights - but if you like em thats all that matters I would say drop/rims first ...but thats just me

 

[Nine78Guy]

no..i would say get a lip first. = then drop...then rims. getting an exhaust and ricey headlights just makes the car look kinda cheap ... but thats jjust my opinion.... the paint is looking flowless though.

 

[Suanico]

change the headlights, take off the aem sticker and lower it and it will be tough s**t

 

[ikillradio]

quit that

get that plate off of there

 

[RedLine42]

no way
the VETAK (EX) is like ~130HP by itself
so
the AEM CAI (V2) adds ~13HP (right guys?)
+ exhaust (apexi n1) is like... well I don't really know but still
take a guess
haha
BTW how does the apexi n1 sound? I'm either getting rims+tires next or exh. and I was thinking the N1 or EVO series.

so you are about 145+?

EDIT: from a website
the EX
Power : 127 hp @ 6600 rpm & 107 ft·lbf @ 5500 rpm

 

[JerseyStrong]

lol an intake wont add 13 horse ^hah your paint is sick as hell, not a flaw in it, good lookin - cant wait to see it lowered, i dunno why everyone hates the projectors i personally think they look good, but who knows if your lookin for OEM lights i can maybe get you a set for a trade..but if i were you id lower, tint, rims for now unless you decide to get an STI, but have fun with the insurance

SOHC D's dont really respond well to boltons.

The N1 sounds really good imo, Its deep and decently loud and not ricey sounding I Still have OEM exhaust manifold and a Cat. im going to put a testpipe on it after I pass inspection this month. Its real loud and sounds real good on B series too.
