After six months, finally got my Volks / Voltex

Hey y'all, I've been around for about a year but I didn't want to post up just another stock car, so here is my contribution. Everything you see was done by my dad and me except for painting the front bumper and installing tires and rims. I'm gonna add my front canards and Rays lug nuts when I get back home. I need to get the side skirts to tie the two ends together, but that'll have to happen after I put the down payment on a house in a couple months.

The pictures are unedited from my point and shoot (after a 400 mile trip so she's a little dirty ), so expect a SLR quality photo shoot in the future with better backgrounds. Hope you like it!















And one of my ugly mug...

Nice, are you still on the stock suspension? Looks like it need a drop. It'll look even better.

Haha, I knew that's what everyone was going to say. Yes I am. Truth is, I really can't drop it because the roads in MS are horrible. Within just a couple days of installation I put a few scratches on the bottom of the front bumper because the road was messed up in a spot. Also if you look at the picture of the front lip you can see a patch of dirt on the drivers side which is where it was so close to bottoming out that it pushed the fine sand on top back but was barely not in the hard stuff. What I think I'm gonna do is put coil overs on it after the warranty runs out and keep it stock height driving around but lower it for meets and pics.

The wing is a Voltex Type-5 Wing which is made for the evo. It's the standard one (1600mm wide), maybe the angles make it look smaller? I'm not a camera pro by any means.

The rims are Volk TE-37 Time Attacks size 18x9.5 +35 and the tires are Dunlop Z1 Star Specs size 255/35-18. I didn't modify anything and there's no rubbing problems anywhere.

Thanks for the comments guys.
