My 2006 IX RS was lonely all by herself, so I got her a friend to play with:
Introducing my new 2004 VIII RS. Same color as the IX, but this car will actually get driven. I picked it up last night, and it is going to need quite possibly the worlds biggest detail, but it's coming along already! Here is a little write-up I did on my website:
I have some plans right away for the car. First, I want to remove the gauges, and gauge pods. I like a simple interior, so I don't want the extra clutter. Next, I am going to remove the current suspension, and put on some factory springs and struts that I just bought from ABY. The car looks really nice with it's current stance, but it's not practical for upstate NY, where we get 2'+ of snow.
I will have this car up at STM before you know it, for fluid changes, and an Emery tune

Very good price
Surprised, they look a lot like IX wheels, which are one of the most popular wheels people like. Luckily, these are just winter wheels, and will be sold, along with the stock VIII wheels I have, and I will be either putting my Wedsports, or my IX wheels on here.

personally im a fan of a stock appearing car but to most they couldnt tell a difference in the wheels.
are you planning on keeping this one semi-stock like it sits or going with big build?
