Default NF210s and a bath = Photoshoot

GAWD DAYUM, I honestly can't believe this car is mine. I look back as I'm walking away from parking spaces and it gives me tingles in my bits. I wrapped the grill two weeks ago and did the NF210s and spacers (15mm & 20mm) yesterday. I attempted to do the spoiler and door trim in vinyl today, and decided I'd rather pay someone instead... so it's still on my list. Next up is tint. Shoutout to Josh @Meraki Autoworks for the setup.

After a thorough bath, the weather was perfect for a little appreciation photoshoot in two nearby spots. Camera is Canon T4i with 35 & 300 lenses. The DRLs look a little off in some shots (like only one is on) – Oh well. Enjoy!

Looks menacing, I love the setup. Blacking out the grill trim really ups the aggression IMO, just as it does on the pre-face lift models.

Looking good! I like the stance, spacers look just right! Let's get a few more from the side so we can see the difference in ride height.Blackout looks clean as well.

I'll look through my other photos and see if I have a better side-by-side shot to share for comparison.

Looks great, stance is also perfect, once you black out the window trim it will be night a day. I get so many looks in my 2017 USB that is all blacked out..

I concur with everyone here, your ride looks great! Always loved the F Sport rims on refresh models. I too just lowered mine on RSR coilover. IMO, the GS looks much better hunkered down low. The long slopping nose looks so menacing especially on MY16+. I too was all giddy with pride looking back at my ride when I was walking into Alberston's on Saturday evening. Just a couple inches drop makes this car look completely different and oh soo sexy. I need to dust off my Sony A7RII to get some decent night time shoot soon.

Looks awesome man! Mine looks similar to yours and I can really tell the difference with the spacers. I plan on going that route as well until I can get some rims in the not so near future since I'll be dropping it first. What spacers did you go with?

Nice looks good, it will go lower once it settles. Any other planned mods for it.

@bigblack06 :

Mods to come:

• Tints
• Chrome delete window trim
• Black (gloss) wrap spoiler
• Black mirrors (wrapped)
• Black door handles (maybe...)
• Black (gloss) roof wrap
• Nigel's fog lights
• Tanabe medallion catback
• Apexi controller
• Intake
• Front lip and skirts (still undecided on what provider)
• Rohanna RC7s (maybe next year)

@dTxworld – Spacers are 15mm and 20mm F&R respectively. Ebay purchase. The H&R are arguably the best, but more than the springs. I am trying a more "cost-conscious" route. We'll see.

Oh man, yes. We have to do the more affordable cosmetic things first or my wife will get suspicious. ;-)

I meant axle-back but get lost with words sometimes. Can't wait!
