Figured I'd start one...been through a lot with the car since I got it back in early 07'. Its progressed a lot to where it is now...No need for long bios...i'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Sorry for some of the bad quality pics and if any need resizing, i apologize...kinda a noob when it comes to posting pics.

-back in my stickerbomb phase...






-then it hit me and the car needed a makeover...a more mature makeover LOL. First thing i changed was the HKS coffee can I had to the Tanabe Medallion Touring exhaust.

-then came the rest of my parts to complete the exhaust and to redo my suspension from the Tein Stechs to the Function Form type 2 Coils and front, rear and cpillar bars and rear sway bar.



-Coils on..Lip taken off to get repainted and stripped of all sticker residue






-to how it sits now...have added the 08+ headlights and mudgaurds since...also debating on when to order spacers to push out wheels (Miro MO2s/279s 18x8 et 35 fronts and 18X9 et. 38 rears professionally painted Toyota White face and Black lip)

 

Nice build. Not sure how i feel about the wheels though, you should have done something different with the lip to set it off from the rest of the wheel/tire.

 

yah i got the wheels off a buddy of mine who had them on his GTI. Been debating to have the wheels repainted...or just get rid of them and get new wheels but ehh i'm bout done with the car itself..i would like to get into something different.

 

white is my favorite color lol

car looks sick, and i agree about the rims.. try something different

 

I see my car in the background!

oh and its about time u ditched the 05-07 headlights and stepped up to the 08+ lol

 

I like the white face, but the black lip totally takes away from the overall look of the wheels. IMO i'd polish the lips, and leave the faces white. Think itd show off the wheel size, and embellish your drop a little. Either that, or black the whole wheel out (easy route). Nice seeing something diff though.

 

yah...the black lip makes it hard to tell the size of the wheel as well as show the stretch of the tire...thats my only gripe right now. Originally i wanted to just have the wheels repainted but its gonna snap my wallet in half LOL.

Yah Stan...love the headlights (that I have now) as you already know lol....so on that note, buy my wheels so I can get the concave wheels i want!

 

I think the "I love haters" sticker is just going to draw more attention from haters but I like the "I love boobies" sticker!

 

Trade me for my Torks i will get those wheels were they need to be lol

 

LOL yah agreed on the stickers...however they are actually serving a purpose LOL....theyre covering my paint crack in the bumper from someone that hit it at my apartment complex.

Hahah the wheels that i've been eyeing for a while now are 18x9.5..Miro type 111s. Now if you had those....I would have traded all day.

 

The car looks great. The only thing that really bugs me is the wheels. I'm not really feeling the black lip, it makes the wheels seem smaller then the really are.

 

Car looks good, but didnt look like you went through a lot :?

 

^ thanks man...well the changes were really with changing out the suspension and the exhaust and actually completing them by adding the front and rear strut bars, cpillar bar, rear sway...adding the header, spipe and midpipe and the axleback itself. As far as the outside goes, it was mostly just taking stickers off lip and new wheels. Most of the changes you cant see.

 

sounds like someone needs to post a few more pics of your other mods lol. ill buss out the point and shoot this weekend haha

 

update this thread foo

 

I like the white on white, do you work for best buy?

 

how do you like those coilovers...i was the type 2's wicked bad. im just riding RLs right now

 

Yea I work as an installer for bestbuy...lol how could you tell...the install bay pics? Lol

So far so good with these coils. No problems or issues with them....yet lol. Rides smooth although I set fronts to really stiff. And in order to get low with these coils, I had to remove perch rings in front. But even so...the ride isn't rough for me at all.

 

car looks like its coming along good man, keep up the good work. some miros would look hot on this ish! if you dont mind me asking, how much did those type 2s set you back? im thinking about going lower.
