VroomVroom86 Firestorm Slow College Build

Hey guys and gals! I thought I would start a build thread to show the modifications a broke college student (like myself) can afford (barely).

Modifications:
BeatSonic Antenna
Ebay OEM Style Diffuser
Cusco Front Strut Bar
Cusco Front Brace
HID Kit
OEM Fog-light Kit
Bubble Shift Knob ;D
Cusco Vertical Catch Can
Tomei 80R
Rallyarmor mudflaps
Muteki SR48 lug nuts
Avid Wheels Av-20 17 x 9 +35 on stock tires (Eventually will get 245/40/17 once these tires are dead).
Megan Racing Track Spec Coilovers
PBM LCA (Just Ordered)

I actually sold them to a fellow forum member. I had the wheels for a few months and they were great while it lasted. He does numerous track days and they look like they're holding up quite well.
