oh, added the 2.4 lower grill to my car the other day so might as well post that as well.
Sweet. I kinda got lucky too. I went running around all over the place looking for an SS/SC and only 1 place had one. It happened to be a tintcoat with all the options and stage 2.

Well I got my chrome TWS Nogaro 18s on the car now. I must say that the 245/40-18 tires help give more grip. They are the sex.

Now I just gotta get a set of plated rotors and find my camera charging cable.

Nice bro. But except for the projectors, it still looks stock. At least tint it, drop it, change the exhaust tip, change the rims, change the grill, or some'fin.

You still got the hottest color though.

Yea I know I'm stealing the pics from local guys, but I forgot my cam at the meet so didn't get any myself. But, you guys can see what it looks like with the new rims.

I prefer the stock look as noone expects anything but a stock balt. No lowering springs as this is my daily driver and I cannot stand the harsh ride. I will be installing my zzp header downpipe. I have a Megan catback on the way. I will probably tint the windows. The only painting I will be doing is to the engine bay. I am considering a carbon fiber hood. Understand,,,,,I'm 45 years old and can't let the kid in me get the best of me.

I'm 32 and as far from the stock appearance as I plan on. Grills (gotta protect the heat exchanger), wheels (wider and lighter), tint (damn bright Florida sun), and wind deflectors (I like rolling with the windows down) are the limit for me.

Your going to like the Megan catback. It is loud, but has a nice deep bass tone.

I am looking for a full set from the front lip to the rear valance that have also have the outer pin stripe... I found stripes that have pin stripes on the outside but they start on the hood and end at the trunk. It seems that you can find them either one way or the other but not both...
