Hey now...I just got the car last Wednesday and I've already got the wheels, in-dash, and sourcing suspension and a front lip/lip kit. Not too bad if you ask me...LOL

Picked up and installed a Pioneer AVH-4000 DVD bc it was too good of a deal to pass up and I already had the iPod and XM Tuner hookups from my previous car. Let me tell you...the install was def a PITA! I did have to bypass the factory amp so I took the advice of another member and extended the harness from the amp and everything worked like a charm! I wasn't pleased with the dash kit from Crutchfield. The dash kit description clearly states that it matches the factory dash color and as you can see, it doesn't. Thank you everyone for the comments so far!

Planning on ordering some Megan Coilover's tomorrow from Sonic Motor's and of course I'll post pics as soon as they're on and fenders rolled. I've recently installed the 8000k 55w HID kit from Mod Express and ordered some Nokya yellow high beam and fog lights and Piaa wedge bulbs for the daytime running lights. Things are slowly ocming together. Had a little setback when I had to order lower ball joints, tie rod ends, and bushings but I feel way more comfortable about my suspension not "falling apart". Anyways, here are some iPhone pics of the HID install. Let me know what you all think..

Finally got it dropped down today on some Tanabe DF210's. I took the wheels off due the inclement weather and not wanting to mess them up. Also, she hasn't been washed in about a week or so....LOL!

Still have to get the bumpers repainted. SInce the last update I've also updated the radio to a JVC KW-AVX640 Double Din, added a Kicker L5 and Kicker 400.1 amp in a custom box, and installed new Depo OEM replacement headlights.
