shutout809's build threat....

well ive had my car for a whileeeee but didnt think i had enough goin on to make a build thread.... but now i think im coming along

sooooooooooo heres my car's story hope you enjoy:

at the dealer



i picked her up in november of 05



that june my first mod was rims i went with 17x7 enkei rs6's wrapped in toyo proxies, i also got an evo 7 style grill





then i went with some ebay tails i had a chrome exhaust tip too just for show (dont really like either in retrospec)




i also got an ebay muffler installed

now... all this stuff happened before the end of the summer of 06

but one fateful day in febuary of 07 i slipped on a fresh snow in my car and rammed into a huge rock on the side of the road.

the damage ended up being horrible the place i had my car towed to said i needed a new control arm and strut on my passenger side front which ran me 700.00 if i recal correctly and my right side of my bumper got chipped badly as you will see in pics below.

but the bad luck didnt end there i also bent a rims later that year on potholes

and my right front brake kept squeaking and while i drove my car like clicked on that side. i brought the car in like 4 times no lie and they kept saying it was a warped rotor and that ran me alot

a pic (i didnt take any of the chips haha)



i bent another rim in the summer of 07 and just took em off, i also bought some evo VII style tails and painted my grill black

these are from fall of 07








finally in the spring of this year (08) i found my new garage and they found that since the accident my front axel was bent and kept ****ing up my brakes and rotors!!!! that ran me another g. but my cars running great now...

over the summer i blaked out my headlights, got a vortex generator, and painted my hubcaps






so anyway i have done some other stuff but i dont have pics yet ill post some tomorrow.....

but over the years i have accumulated some stuff, i have an oz lip kit and an rrm type II lip, i have an evo 8 spoiler i may or may not install...

this i got from lancerfreak an old member its damaged but im fixing it and in a week or two will be ready to go on.



so my plan for my car is this:

megan or ksports coilovers
16x6 rota boost in gold
rexpeed type-c spoiler
depo projector headlights (when they make them w/ black housings
maybeee the jdm evo9 mr tails
tints not sure how dark
greddy exhaust
rmr sri
