UPDATES:

Well, Sunday, I lowered it.. Suspension Techniques Speedtech springs are utterly the s**t!!
Installed the front lower tie-bar..
Installed my friend's old 23mm rear sway, and a modded ITR front bar
2" drop in the rear, 2.25" in the front.. Car is real twitchy - the way I like it!

I'll have pics once I wash all the road grime off, as it rained here steady for a few days, and it's filthy..

Then when I got home today, this was waiting on me.. Probably tomorrow or Wednesday, they'll go on.. Got rears, as well, just not pictured..

Happy motoring!
44.7mpg on last fillup!

Looks like my hatch when I first picked it up. That engine bay came a long way in no time. Nice job!!

Well, it's down to a drizzle here, so maybe tomorrow I can give it a cleanin'..

I'll try to get some updated pics, here and there...

Thanks, Hybrid93Hatch.. It was quite haneous..

ok, still kinda nasty out, but it dried up a little tonight.. so I did the ol' carwash sprayoff, just to get the thick crud.. Yah, it's dark (9pm) but ya get what ya get

tried a little exposure setting adjustments..

You gotta do something about those side skirts. They make the car look dirtyyyyy. nice though.

Well, I'm workin on getting some Mugen lips (fr/rr), so they'll all get painted at the same time..

BTW- it IS dirty in that picture

you can put some "f2 protectant" on those ... just wash the car again after you do it cause when its soild protectant it attracts dirt hella easy.

[qwikxr]

Ha! I've got you fooled! lol
I'm so broke, I can't even pay attention!

Thanks for the props, though

Order of next mods are:
Hood (prolly CF, not positive, though), roof replacement (hail damage), rear wing, front/rear lips, CF hatch, and other little tidbits.. maybe a CTR grill, EK side mouldings, painted skirts and door handles, and so CF Spoon-style mirrors..
