@derekyes's Ralliart [Build Thread]
 
Hey everyone, decided to finally make a build thread of my car. Nothing crazy but I hope you guys enjoy!

Here's the stockiest photos I could find of my car, nose ring and bumper already plastidipped. That 4x4 monster truck wheel gap though...

First "major" mod for me was getting rid of that puny wing! DIY painted it also.

Didn't have photos of my boostpill install or flashing the GST Basemap but here's photos of my X FMIC swap.

Back to aesthetics, decided to upgrade from my cheap basic Ralliart Armors to something a little better.

Thanks to a local Ralliart owner in socal, I found out about the 06-07 STI lip and how well it fits our cars.

I drove around like the above for about 2 months until it was time for new tires. Decided, why not get new wheels too? Picked up a set of Miro 398's, or aka TE37 replicas. Specs are 18x8.5 +35. Tires are 245/40r18

If you guessed suspension work, then you're right! Picked up a set of Megan Street coilovers.

Annnnd here I am now! It's been quite the journey with this car. It's not just working on cars that's fun, but its the time I spent with my friends along the way that makes being into cars a great experience.

Your ride looks sick!!!! I really wanna go the way you went with the sti lip but I can't find one that's not so expensive because everyone says they are $50 bucks but I have yet to find one for 50 bucks. Where did you get yours ?
