Since you said you didnt do any photoshop, and I consider myself to be ok at it, I thought I would do a pic for ya to see what you think. Your car looks good, I would drop it though.

Here ya go {thumbup} :

Looks pretty good, especially the wheels!!!

RED DEMON Mar 27, 2007 04:58 PM

I DEFINATELY need to lower it, haha i dont like the fender gap in the front - i want a minor drop but nothing substantial - i am thinkin Hotchkis springs and strut bar, keep em on til my struts die (they already have 50k on em)- and then save up for coilovers inthe long run. Just cant go too low because of wisconsin and denver roads!

I would definitely blackout your headlights....tails are done and this would really bring together your front with the painted wheels, cf hood and maybe the CF lip if you decide to put that on.....I would also consider lowering your car to reduce the fender gap between your tires.....car looks really good!

Yes, they are worn pretty badly! Thats an autocross, 7k street miles, and the post-breakin of the exedy for ya! I think the blacked out headlights would match amazingly with the red/black theme- i dont know if i should do all black or black with amber turnsignal

+1 on your ride

Thanks! My stock rims are........SPRAY PAINTED! I did them myself, spent about a week doing it PROPERLY. I have a write up of how i did it, sanded off to almost bare metal, scuffed up the metal, primed if with a Dupont spray primer, then i used a combination of Black Dupont wheel paint, Dupont caliper paint (for center caps and red lips), and a LOT of the dupont wheel "clear-coat/protectant"- so the paint wouldnt chip away. I have 25k on the rims and the paint is looking great! I love how when theres brake dust on em they simply look like a "flat black", and when i clean them they go back to gloss black. My other rims are horrible with brake dust, they are gold and turn ti a bronzish color, morso in the front obviously....so..
I am now also in the process of painting my other pair of wheels (Volk Gram Lights 57s). They are gold currently but look tacky in my opinion with now with the black/red theme. (pic posted below of grams, looked good when stock, but gold now doesnt fit!) - So im using aircraft stripper to get the paint off the grams-a pain in the @ss! But they will be painted identical to how i painted the stockers- black with a red lip!

Its a custom pod made by a member on evom, bought it about two and a half years ago. The guy promised 25 people them (made a group buy), and then only sent out 10 of them to the first 10 people on the list! I was number 9 so i got lucky, then gave the other people that got ripped off his return addy!

I wanted to vary it up, hah. I wanted to have the AMS sticker on the right side passanger door, and the exedy o nthe back window- and then the other exedy on the drivers side more spread out because the AMS sticker on that side i have on the hood above the headlight. I may switch the one to match the more spread out one, looks a bit better IMO

it looks really good even thought you havent dropped it yet. very nice {thumbup}

RED DEMON Mar 27, 2007 05:02 PM

Thanks for all the positive input! I really appreciate it! I wanted to do some work on the exterior, have it look nice but not tacky and gaudy or overdone- as its my daily driver and evos get enough attention from cops already (and its a red one!). I think a JDM rear bumper, CF lip (not sure what style), blacked out headlights, blacked out front emblem, and springs (which will probably be the first thing)
