Here are a few pics I took with my digital camera... Sorry about the quality, wish I had a nicer cam!

I plan on buying eibach springs and d-spec's once I get my tax return.

Let me know opinions... positive/negative... or any ideas for next mod's.

Very nice man.

I really dig the wheels! Eibachs will really set it off. As far as appearance mods, i'd say you're damn near done. I would probably get a shorty antenna, some kind of billet grill and possibly some side scoops.

Thanks! I was going for a real black look. I was really happy how the wheels turned out! I think the covers would look better if I had the fogs covered as well. However, if I do that I wont be able to see at night

One pet peeve I have with black paint is that you can see every little imperfection to a T. I am going to get this thing fully details once all the pollen falls (pollen on long island is a NIGHTMARE in the spring!)

I wanted to go darker on the tint for the side/rear windows... but the car came with the current tint and I have been told by many tinters that pulling of the rear tint to go darker would be a nightmare (b/c of the defroster lines). I am trying to find out if they can tint over the rear...

The all black look rocks ..But, I ma having the same problem with the paint..I ma going to clay bar it and see if that will remove the swirl marks and little blemishes..Then a fresh coat of wax and you should be fine..Black is an effing bitch to keep perfect..

Darker tint is probably illegal. I don't want to start a whole issue over tint, but theres' good reason for legal limits.

It is illegal here in NY - but that hasn't stopped me with any other car I've owned!

Lookin' good!

For some reason, the 1/4 panel marker lights catch my eye in every picture. Perhaps you can "paint" or "tint" them to blend more with the car...?

Otherwise, yes on springs- it will look amazing with them, yes on a shorty antenna (eBay= cheap), and ditch the headlight covers..

I don't think the tint is that bad..

Car/wheels look good now and will be even better lowered. I don't care for the clear rear side marker as it makes it stick out a lot more than if it were the OEM red. Up front being clear is fine due to it being so close to the clear head/fog lights. Definitely ditch the 3' antenna!

I say a shorty antenna and possibly a larger rear tire. It will look sweet once it's lowered
