King Baby- You should see how low it is now....It looks like the coilovers have settled and now I can barely fit two fingers from ground to bumper....Drove to work today and I was sweating the entire way
POWUH-I was gonna put a blue pearl, but I decided against it, I didn't want to alter the color to much, and I was very very very pleased with the way the Laguna seca blue turned out...

Thanks bro....Ya I am definitely doing a grill, shop took out the old (Home Depot) one I made, because it was old and worn down....I am thinking about waiting until I mount my FMIC, to see how I wanna do the grill...But ya a grill is definitely needed.

Funny story...
That hatch strut is not mounted, its just proped up to hold up the hatch... I ordered the hatch struts meant for Carbon fiber Hatches, from a vendor here on the forums, and I don't know where the mix up was, but the struts that I received were waaaaay to strong for the hatch....Hatch wouldn't shut.....Its all good though, vendor is sending me replacements....so in the mean time had to rock it like that at the show

Very sexy, aggressive setup! I love it. I think the color came out how you wanted; obviously custom, unique, and has that "pop" to it. It is hard to tell from the pictures, but the front wheels seem a bit tucked/sunken. Do you plan to add spacers? Way to turn a bad (car got keyed) into a great (see pics above)!

Thanks guys for the compliments.....I am thinking about changing up the panels wrapped in the gradiant Brida fabric, to the all black Bride fabric....any opinions....as for the sound system...no that not a plexi....its a fiberglass tub I had made to give an illusion it was sunken in to the subs
I'm running to Rockford 12in T1's in a PORTED box
Spacer are a must...debating on 20 or 15mm

I was wondering how that bride wrapped piece looks like Its floating between the subs. Maybe its just cause its on my phone and I'm not seeing it correctly! Looks awesome, man I'm probably a little bit higher then you, and I am terrified of the streets with my front bumper, but az has pretty smooth roads for the most part. if you ever sell your enclosure let me know lol
