Thanks in advance.
Kamanari side skirts, with Greddy front lip. I will have a picture of the front in my album.

Glad you like it!

I had the roadster stock for the last 3.5 years. Just finally tossed a bunch of cash into it. These pics were from the day I picked it up a week ago, so no time to wax that biatch yet....

When I get the hood painted in a few weeks, I'm also getting that crappy black piece painted

Had a bit of a fender bender which resulted in a cracked rear bumper cover. Ended up replacing it with a VIS Racing Chargespeed replica. Was pleasantly surprised with how well it fit. Needed a little extra work to get the reverse lights to fit and had to flip the rear plate frame due to the license plate being secured on the bottom instead of the top.

Shortly after these photos were taken I went and had four new Michelin Pilot Super Sports installed. Excessive tire wear was a factor in the fender bender. What puzzles me is they passed it for the Maine state inspection with rear tires that were not suitable to drive on only three weeks before this incident. I later found out the hard way I needed rear tires after hitting slush and losing traction while driving down a steep hill near my home a few weeks ago.

All ready to go for ZDayZ 2013! Leaving from northern Maine later today. Maybe I'll see some of you there.

I had just installed the front the day that picture was taken. The last screw to tighten the bumper to the fender would not tighten all the way. I ended up having to take the bumper and fender liner off in order to replace the socket that the screw tightens into. Problem fixed.

But yea, thanks for pointing that out

Figure I'll throw mine in the mix. 07 Redline. Eibach Sportlines, Painted the Headlights, Top Speed Testpipes, and Spacers, Tinted tails also. Debating on getting a black hood or not, I dipped mine awhile back but was too dark with the headlights.

thanks taryon

im so upset right now theres a meet coming up june 1st and i used the money to buy a bmw x5 (look at what i got today thread) and i ended up using most of my money to get that and fixing it up a little bit. id have enough to get the wheels but not the tires and suspension as i was planning doing. definitely on my to do list though. ES2 19"x9.5/10.5 +12 thinking maybe 255/35 and 285/35?
