What up afaleti I just like the way the car looks with the clear lights, to me it looks a little more clean.

Stefwilli,

Post Lexfest syndrome has gotten to me, below are the mods I expect to complete over
the period of a year. Please advise with post or PM to include estimates.


Wheels - "18/19IN SSR GT3 Gunmetal|Bright Satin w/Polished Lip with decent tire"
Exhaust - Lsportline or Similar
Suspension - 1 - 1-12/IN Drop and would ride similar to the OEM with 16IN Rims

This car is too big for 18" SSR GT3, it looks like it will be okay in that tire rack picture but when you put them on the car, they're going to look small because of the thin spoke design. If your going to do 18's then your going to need a thicker spoke. PM me if you need suggestions

I be in Brooklyn all the time on Myrtle ave, if you ever see me just flag me and I'll take you for a ride
But to answer your question, the ride is great with my suspension setup, but you'll see.

He has the same suspension as mine, so you would see how the car would ride. Mine is set at the defualt level, not sure if stef lowered it or not.

You're going to have trouble finding the L-sportline kit since it was discontinued earlier this year. We sold our last set 2 months ago. You might be able find one that someone is holding onto.
