Ok so last week i got my Hasport Stage 1 axles in, $366 shipped to my door. So i threw um in, adjusted my ride height and prayed they wouldnt bind, and they dont! Bwahahaha, so i washed/waxed my car, and got a few pics. I used to have a Mugen Replica front ilp, but lost it on the highway at 85mph, then it was ran over by a semi, so i didnt go back for it. But i plan to get a type r front/rear lip set, and some jdm thin moldings here sometime soon.

Here are a few pics for now. I gotta take it back to the exhaust shop and have the guy re-weld my flanges so the point isnt facing DOWN kuz they drag on f**kin everything.









Let me know what you think of my progress.

Also, front tires are Kuhmo 711's, LOANER tires. 205/40/16's, tuckin tire now that the car has settled a little. And in the rear i have General Exclaim UHP's (MY tires) 205/45/16's, tuckin tire as well.

EDIT: Oh yea, and my front end really isnt THAT far off (on body panel alignment) its just that POS VIS carbon hood is WARPED to hell and back.

Naw the front is lower now, those pics were taken the day i lowered it down in the frotn and it hadnt fully settled. It also looks like it sits lower in the rear because i have a slightly lower profile tire in the front so it doesnt tuck as bad.

PM me about the lip please.

Thanks for all of the comments. Im going to wash and buff it tomorrow, then ill go get some decent pics (not just driveway shots) and im probably going to order at least a front lip tomorrow. I still cant decide on a rear lip.

What do you guys think?

rear lip yay or nay?


Also going to order stuff to make my dad the equivilent of a K&N Aftermarket intake system for his 01 Ram Cummins. It has dual batts so the one that just drops in wont fit, so im going to order a 4" K&N Cone filter, buy a 4" U bend of aluminum exhaust pipe, cut to fit, high temp paint, and pick up some rubber couplers... Ghetto? Yes. Cheap? Yes. Functional? Hell yes.

Im excited and its not even my car lol

What do you mean post pics of my wax? lol

Its just Meguiars Gold Class, like $29.98 or somethin at Checkers. Apply, let dry, buff, then apply another layer, let dry, buff. Buff the 1st two times by hand, put alot of elbow grease into it. Then run an automatic buffer over it. I didnt get the chance to run the automatic buffer over it before i took those pics so theres still some residue on um. But thats going to get cleaned up tomorrow. Along with some light swirl marks.
