PICS FINALLY!

but its still be gloomy outside, it had just stopped raining after 2 days. boston is gross. the color is off cause the greyness outside.

Plus no tire dressing (I use Meguiars NXT Insane Shine, good stuff) cause the rain for two straight days



^^ the night i got it. i couldnt wait to take pics haha


but on with it.













I still have the bottom grill on. I used to have this one but it didn't match so i took it off. gotta take off the bumper to take off the lower one i think. ill get around to it eventually.



Looks so much better now compared to this stock height (day before the drop and paint):

^^GROSS










So anyways, what do you think? not as aggressive as the 18x9.5 and it does look a bit more concave in person. but i like it, i think its not too subtle but not too aggressive. i do love the 9.5 though. im actually torn :D

i wish i had better pics, cause again, the weather and pics just dont do it justice at all. not even close. and i need to wash + wax.

thanks man! im dropped on eibach sportlines (supposedly 2 inch). its not even settled yet and it seems more like 3. i love the drop, its perfect.

im totally down for a shoot. where do you live again? i dont think its close haha.

yeah i was either gonna go with red or black. chose red, i painted the rotor hats black if you couldnt tell. they are all grey and brown from rust.

next steps:
remove bottom grill, maybe paint the scion logo black on the top grill, get rs1 front and rear lips, oem/gfx side skirts, get it all painted/blended. then get a kenwood excellon DNX-9960 in dash gps/media center thing. i hate having to slap my garmin on the dashboard (i refused to stick it to my windshield so i got one of them stands with the rubber on the bottom so it grips the dash). im thinking i need a more aggressive lip spoiler though. i have the OEM one. not bad

when are you mounting your???? i gotta see it haha
