So yeah, it's been a while!

Lots of changes since the last update, so I'll get right to it -

First off, the spoiler came in and I've been rocking it for a while.


Second, I left Scikotics (finally) and joined one of my local crews, Blacklisted. The good thing about this crew is that it's any make, any model. I always say the reason some crews have so much drama is that vehicle-specific groups (Scikotics, 86 Club, etc.) are always more about the cars than the people, and that causes problems. Crews where any car is allowed are more about the people than the cars, that way things just seem to work out better.
Plus that means I get to hang with some of the coolest cars around, like the slammed Speed3 above, a sick boosted S14 with Rocket Bunny, and more.

Anywhore...

I got some new headlights, these are custom painted and have halos retrofitted into them.


I love these but I am actually going to be doing my own set very soon, I'm thinking double halos this time around. That'll be done in a few weeks hopefully.

And lastly, my most recent endeavor. I finally had a REAL photoshoot done by a professional! And with a model!


If you want to see all of them - https://www.facebook.com/jake.lyons....3058186&type=1

And there were a few smaller mods here and there, like Sickspeed horns and a resonator delete from my exhaust.

As of right now that's it. But of course the modding won't stop any time soon!
Also, I updated the OP if you want to go back to the first post and check it out.

Thanks for reading!

Haha thanks man, the spoiler is 3M tape. Just make sure you put it on right the first time. I already learned that the hard way

Not too much new on the car this week.

Might be buying new wheels soon though, stay tuned.
Hint - They're colorful as f*ck

Also thanks @jekyllrider1

So yeah, I ended up buying new wheels.

Got some Enkei RPF1's powdercoated candy blue (yes, you read that right), I bought them from a guy here in Houston with a suuuper clean STi for a steal.

They are 18 x 10 +38 on Dunlop tires 245/40
I have 15 and 20mm spacers on the way to get good fitment.



And just yesterday I had the fenders rolled and maxed out the front coils. I would've done the rear too but adjusting those are harder to adjust than the front plus it's already plenty low for my taste.



Hopefully the spacers should be here this week so I can get the wheels on this weekend.

And, typical me, I'm already wanting something else. I will wait a little bit but my next mod will be this awesome head unit called the CA Fi Dashlinq4, which is basically an Android-powered factory replacement head unit, that looks like the factory stereo and plugs in directly to the harness but is powered totally by Android. It can do anything your phone can do. It's a good price too so I'll be picking one up after a while.

CA-FI DASHLINQ4 701000 TOYOTA UNIVERSAL 7"
