This is what the blue pearl in the paint looks like. Looks black on a cloudy day like the first post on page 1, but once the light hits it it shines blue and sparkles blue in the sun.



Looks much better in person.

So I was off from work the other day and decided to have my tires flipped. While at the tire shop the thought came to my mind to lower the car a little bit more. I hit my boy Rob and went out to Queens to 106 And Tire to get the job done. I was very satisfied with the out come. Again all pics taken with my phone.

Rear was first


Three heads are better than one lol




Rears all done




Are you considered flush when the lip of your wheel touches the fender? That was my issue when it was all done lol.


They took the time to ensure all 4 corners were at equal height




All done


And this is how she sits right now 0 wheel gap! but holy **** now I scrape everywhere!

Exhaust was custom built with Tanabe Hyper Medalion mufflers

Not really. I'm more performance minded so next on my list is a manual swap and built motor so I can be in the 500-600 whp range which is where I would like to be.

The exhaust was custom made everything from the turbo back was built from scratch. 3" down pipe into a Vibrant silencer with dual 2.5" piping going out to two Tanabe mufflers.
