Default My First Mods...

Well, i've been on this forum for over a year and finally decided to change the stock look.
Mad props to D2-Autosport for the GB on the rims and a good buy on the tires. Can't say enough
good things about the buying experience. Derrick is a true professional and class act. he answered all of my dopey questions and got me the exact look i wanted. Thanks also to Steffwilli
for his input as well.
Suspension work was done by Bodymotion in central Jersey. if you're looking to get suspension
work done give them a call and speak to ACE. a right guy - they did real well.
I'd also like to thank Darryl Diller and Steve Ganz for their great pricing as well on the suspension
and aero mods.
So, without further delay....PICS PLEASE!!
(hope i don't screw this up, never did uploads before (LOL))

Thumbs up ! Awesome !

Dave, looks great ! Clean and classy... I love the wheels! The drop is perfect for NY/NJ roads! (u know me, I drive slammed even if the road conditions are horrible lol).. How do you like the ride so far compared to stock? Driving a bit more cautious eh?

Again congrats Dave !!

Looks amazing man!!

I love the wheels. Are they 20s or 19s? Fat Setup?

Oh yeah, one other thing, that's my favorite color

very clean.... I like the contrast between the cinnabar and graphite wheel color.

I would possibly get rid of the gold badges and maybe try black chrome to see if it would match the wheels...and to see what it would look like in general against your paint color.

Nice job!

Nice job!
ebruce just said exactly what I was going to on both points so I'll just quote him hear and give it a 'seconded'. I might go as far as to suggest pulling your badges off and having them custom painted to match the wheels.

Nice and clean. Congrats. I'm with the others on the gold badges. I also noticed the Daizen plate holders. So what are these suspension mods that we don't see.
