UPDATE 10/2/2012

I recently got my car Opti-Coated by Mike and man does it make the car look shiny makes carpet cleaners gold coast the car a breeze and looks 10x better thanks mike!

Heres a pic of the car after opti coat... should have taken a picture right after i got it done ( this is a week after not washing and the sides still look nice and shiny I just washed the car and looks like new!)

Installed KW V3 coilover system

so far im loving the kw's, handling feels much much better...feels like im more in control even though I can still feel the tail wanting to slide out a little, much easier to correct. Car definitely feels planted and gives me more confidence in cornering. I feel like there is so much more to these struts but all I need are some stickier tires! Can't wait to try these babies at the track! Ride comfort somewhat similar to stock, still need to mess around with settings but to be honest, it is only a BIT more rough but no where near unbearable or much noticeably uncomfortable ( you could always adjust it anyways) . I'd highly recommend these for those who want DD comfort with performance. ONTO THE PICS!

The car looks in amazing shape. DO you prefer professional cleaning or do it own your own?

The slippery slope begins. Need tires to compliment the suspension, how about a turbo kit for more power, maybe a small cage....etc.

haha I know what you mean....never ending obsession

Thanks! I got it opti-coated by a fellow forum member here, his name is CU2MIKE i believe. He does great work and that is the ONLY detailing ive had done to my car. After that I've simply been following the recommended way of maintaing opti coat which is simply the 2 bucket wash method and car looks like it just got a wax right after

UPDATE 11/18/2012**

Decided I will be running the rocket bunny kit in the next few months so stay tuned! Going to be a big project for this upcoming show season with lots of pictures and parts to come!

Some other things Im going to be running a berk technology test pipe as well as the ARK DT-S catback for my project and I want want to see how it sounds/looks/feels!

I wish I could talk you out of that decision. Mainly due to there already being a lot of rocket bunny kits state side. I believe there are at least 4 in SoCal already. I would say wait to see what other kits are coming out and try to be the first on that boat. But that's just my 2 cents.

^^ Agreed. I'm bored of the RocketBunny kit already, haha

haha i know what you mean, there definitely are a lot. I was thinking of goin a different route with it though. Instead of the wing I'll be running the Seibon csl style trunk and im thinking of just running the fenders and the diffuser and do something different for side skirts and front. Not sure yet
