Default update on my gs....

what up fellas ! my car has been at the body shop and i was informed it will be done in a week.......geez......finally. it's been a long time since i started this project and finally i will get to enjoy of what i had planned. you guys will love it.....gee, i hope so......

here's a couple shots i took a while back.

(finished mounting rear bumper and body work)

(hmmm, what bumper is this and what color ? )

(the sides...)

(another closer look at the front bumper )

the front bumper needed some work and that's why it got painted first before the install. they will shoot the car on monday and hoping to get back by end of next week.

that's it for now.....final pics will be posted soon !!

oh yeah, forgot to mention i also have the three piece wing and roof spoiler..
i ordered the inspection front grille from memoryfab but it wont arrive until december....oh well...it's worth the wait i guess.

here's a quick pick for my suspension. im using the cheap rsr springs for the time being but decided to go coil overs.



future plans: still debating on a jdm swap but it wont be until next year. h'ever, hid retrofits awaits, magnaflow exhaust and some decent sound system.

tks...i know i dont have the whole JP kit...but at least it will look pretty decent when it's finished. i test fitted everything and it looked like it will flow the rest of the parts just fine....

it's just no way i can buy the whole JP KIT for the price..........too much !!

at least i got lucky on this front bumper. it even came with the JP fogs (glass) which costs an arm and a leg....

i also got the JP 3-PC wing and rear garnish center cover but not sure if i will use the garnish cover though. it needs to be painted same color as the car.
