Default some new pics of my ride

So the GS is far from completed, but here's the update. I couldn't find a rear lip for cheap and my rear kit had horrible fitment issues, so i cut the fiberglass bumper in half, and fiberglassed/bondo'd the kit onto my oem bumper. i just got the Tein SS suspension from CL member JP430, great seller btw . I got them adjusted to the lowest, rolled and pulled the fenders, but I rub like hell on hard bumps and turning too much, i think i will be getting smaller tires up front later and stretch em on there. the tein don't feel as stiff to me as i expected, but it sure is a big difference than stock. added a shark fin antenna as well. as soon as i get a rear spoiler and roof spoiler, i'm gonna be paintin the whole car, but for now.....here you go.

looking good That's definitely slammed.....I cant imagine how hard it must be to drive though, as I seem to be scraping on driveways sometimes, even when hitting them at an angle. What color do you plan on repainting the car??

I like the light green tint you have on ( factory I'm assuming)
I vote for no tint.

i have the Tein SS, and did the installation myself, but i think on average should cost about 300. check your local mechanic shops though.

I like everything, you have given her a personal touch. I have been looking for someone to install a shark fin antenna and it's something I have been thinking about. JP offers one; where did you get yours?
