Thumbs up Just Another Build Thread... But Sexier...

So everyone else here's got a build thread to show off their cars... so I guess it's about time I did the same

Here It all started... Completely Stock OZ Rally Lancer.




First Upgrade were the Taillights, went for the Blacked Out Evo Style



Then Came my Headlights... these were actually a mistake sort of... I ordered too many l.e.d.'s so I had to find places to put them... so there they went!




After that, the things that Set it Off... 17" Hyper Black Enkei Evo 6's wrapped in Kumho Ecsta AST's (215/40/17)



One of the things it was missing though was the wing... It just looked empty... so I opted for the stock wing, without that little center leg, I think it looks a hell of a lot better



I then realized that my car was sitting a little too high... so in came the Tein S-Tech Springs, I painted the Calipers Blue too



Once all that was done... I got anxious to buy something else, so I got some Underbody Neons... Streetglow Blue Line Series



Then finally the most recent update to the loooong list of mods... The RalliArt Grille, I've wanted one of these since day 1, and it's finally on, I'm extremely pleased



I'll be sure to keep this thing up to date... Let me know what yall think of it!

nice blue/silver theme you got goin there

Unless you're totally against looking like an evo... I personally think an evo spoiler and the diffuser make the car look amazing..

I love the rims

looks good, I am always amazed at how much better the ralliart grille looks and the wing without the center looks way better than the evo wing imho.Maybe some blacked out cedias? Just keep it clean!

I thought under car neons went away in the mid 90's... Other than that, the car looks good

Looks good bro, I need to set up the tail without the center peice. Lose the glow though, I'm afraid I agree with Kurt you ain't Paul Walker, and that ain't a skyline LMAO! Just kidding, but keep it going dude!

Not bad.

I suggest that you get rid of the lowering springs and save up for a set of Megan Coilovers... your car needs more lowering.

Thanks for all the opinions, good and bad, I don't mind, they're your opinions

As for the lowering... yeah I do wish it was lower, but the coilovers are expensive as hell and for that price you shouldn't be able to squeeze a penny between the skirt and the ground.

erm... they're that price because you're paying for "race springs and shocks"... even race cars need to have ground clearance.

Thanks for the compliments guys I think an 08 with blue calipers would look sick

As for pics of the rear... I had some on my old comp before it crashed... I'll try to take a few more when it comes back from the shop... got into a bit of an accident...






That last shot brings a tear to my eye
