I was originally going to buy the car in Halo, but I had purchased the TE's before I bought the car and decided that they would look better on Raven




The first official mod to the car was swapping all the bulbs to LEDs, followed by the AVEST V1 Sidemarkers in the smoked finish (which I'm currently thinking of switching out to the OEM JDM clears):






Picture of the rear of the car while it was still stock:


Next up I picked up an Invidia resonated front pipe along with the N1 catback with the burnt tips. I was going to go in a different direction with the exhaust, but I picked it up used for a price I couldn't pass up:


I also picked up a FiveAxis rear spoiler at the same time and had it paint matched:


Next stop was picking up the suspension components. Having many S chassis friends, I decided to go with PoweredByMax (PBM) competition coilovers, lower control arms, and toe arms to properly set the alignment. Based on price, quality, ride comfort, and rebuild options, seemed to be the best option for me:




Before installing the suspension, I picked up a pair of authentic TRD aero fins. Color matched since I have mixed feelings about carbon on black:


Less than two months into ownership, I had the car sitting about where I wanted it to sit. Suspension was installed, fenders rolled, and Volk TE37RT's installed, wrapped in Federal 595 RS-RR tires (more details on alignment specs can be found in the Meaty Tire Thread):






About a month later, in went the Bride Vios 3 in black gradient, accompanied by a Bride Type-FO seat rail:


Most recent mod was the Cusco drift button:


Miscellaneous pictures of how the car currently sits:










That's all for now. I'm looking to do a couple small things here and there once I get rid of the last parts remaining from my Fit. The 86 has been nothing but smiles since day 1
