Damn they both look almost the same I forgot what the true difference is except that yours runs windows. About the iphone wait till the 3g iphone comes out the current iphone was already outdated when it was relased.

looks very good. my favorite chassis ES. could stand to be a bit lower but that's probably not what you're after.

Just to answer a few questions about the car, the tint is Limo in the back and 15% on the sides, with the light interior, i could have gone a tad darker with 12% and still seen a light outline, but with 15% all around the cops don't give me much of a hassle.

Sloooow- I'll get the specs on my set up to you for the struts and springs, i really love the ride, 10 times as good as my eibach setup, Cornering isn't as stiff, but it does have the in between touring and sporty feel.

The Drop- I think many of you have been thinking what I'm thinking....she needs to be a little lower, just enough to cover the tops of the wheels, probably .5" in the front and .4" in the back.

BadVIper- i'm going to check to see what kind of contact i have in Japan, i have 2 or 3 friends out there right now, but we'll see if they want to help out with the body kit. Have you seen anything that resembles a '97 front end?

Chaos-----updated iphone......just what i was thinking, i may have to wait till the end of summer, we'll see..


PS thanks for the compliments.

i woudn't like those rims in any other color then black, looks nice as others have said, so i guess you are using the other rims for snow tires?
