Hey all...I read on here often but don't post much. I've taken some ideas from all of your and the DIY threads are incredible. Anyway, here is my setup so far, as in cosmetics and making it unique.

- Plasti Dipped my stock rims to Gold
- 225/45 Hankook RS-3 for AutoX

- WRB Brake Calipers
- Custom Black Pearl Body Wrap
- Rear Reflector to Working Taillight/Brake Light
- Blacked out taillights (Added on 6 Apr)

Engine/Suspension:

Suspension:

Engine:
