Well the summer is almost here so time to startup some new projects 
I got really tired of that ugly chrome strip on the front. It was an eyesore, and caught my eye everytime. So I went with a flatblack one, from a Lancer DE. I think the front end looks a lot smoother now.

Color-matched sharkfin antenna also arrived today but haven't had a chance to install it yet. Hope its quick and painless.
WORKS springs also arrived last week. I'll probably install these last once I get my winter tires off.

Finally got around to installing the antenna yesterday. It wasn't too bad. Just take your time marking down its positioning accurately, then putting down the masking tape. Rest of it was pretty quick. Some pics I took today.

Next up, springs on the weekend, if the weather isn't like it was today!

Those are the only shots I took today I'm afraid I ordered it from here - http://www.visualgarage.com/home.html
Pick your color in the order process, and they'll paint match it for you.

Finally decided to take my winter tires off, stock ones went on. Spent all Saturday scrubbing the car inside/out (Although it did get a bit dirty at work today ). Found a nice spot for a shoot, around dusk time today.

Finally got around to getting the WORKS springs installed. I'll definitely get around to taking better pics, once I get alignment done in a few days.
So far, so good. The humongous wheel gap is gone, but the drop isnt too excessive that I'll suffer in the winters here. The 18" wheels seem to fill the wells a lot better now.

Managed to take a couple more pics today, similiar angles to some of my older pics. So hopefully these can serve as before/after shots. You can also see the difference between summer and fall here
