This thread will be under constant updating until I get my little baby to where I want her to be so to start it out I'll post some stock pictures. 126k black on black 5 speed

next step was to black out the turn signals

It looks great; I just have concerns over how well the lights work... They're there for a reason.

twistedfreedom · 03-25-2010, 12:28 AM

I'll get some night pictures the light comes though pretty well. the paint is translucent google VHT nightshade.

twistedfreedom · 03-25-2010, 11:59 PM

Night pictures as promised

Interesting. Good transmission of light through the tinting spray. And it looks like it came out smooth as well. As far as the car itself goes, you'll probably get a bit of flaming, some people don't like black wheels. I on the other hand appreciate a well done wheel

What suspension setup are you sittting on? That is sooo not a stock ride height

to be honest I have no idea what suspension is under the car, I didn't see anything special or out of the ordinary when I took the wheels off.

the ground isn't level either, could be adding to the look

next I think I'm going to get a CAI but I need to decide which one. my only previous experience with mods was with domestic V8s and Japanese import 4 bangers. This German stuff is out of my league and suggestions? I've already decided to go with the super sprint exhaust

Any suggestions for Coilovers? there are a ton of them out there!

denyo77 · 05-30-2010, 04:00 AM

I'd personally get KW coilovers, although Koni's also seem to be of very good quality.

Edit:
post some full body shots of your car so I can start flaming you

k.sidlosky · 05-30-2010, 04:45 AM

Yeah! Get some!
