I am not a fan of plastidip so i doubt i will be doing that....and just to make you guys happy i am going to take off the grills right now and burn it ... but on a serious note i will be looking for a grill on the classified section.

ok im gona say it too, lose the grill ... lol j/k, but the sooner the better. car looks sweet. if i were you i'd keep the wheels and just invest in a drop. i've always like the cv1's with the machined/black finish on a black car. it looks classssy!!! great job!

Welcome to CL.....You know what you have to do so I won't say anything, but nice job. There are a few good brands of coils out there. Megan,BCR,Tein,D2, and others. Look in the classifieds section. Ebay has a nice mesh Blitz replica grille.

ok so far what i read on CL is BCR are the best coilover for the money. correct me if i am wrong ..... as you can tell i am newbie when it comes to coilover and stuff.... see all i know its that coilover are made to lower our cars... other then that i have no idea how they work or what do i really need... so I am going to be doing lots of search before buying

what lowering springs would you be getting if you had the cash flow? How does it ride right now, does it rub?
