Got any picz of ur engine bay?
I'm not trying to be a dcik, but you calling my brakes ricer is wrong. I think we had this decussion 2 pages ago, but I will make an exception in order to mke you happy. I have a Stop Tech Stage 2 upgrade that stops just as good as your Grand Touring Brembos you have on your car.

If you must know all the modifications I have, let me educate you. Nismo Exhuast, Kinetix High Flow Cats, UR Underdrive Pulley Set, Engine Grounding Kit, Nismo / JWT Popcharger, JWT Clutch/ Flywheel, and Timing adjusted to 3 Degrees, GT-S Wheels with the TPMS built in, Tein S-Tech Drop Springs, Rays Lug Nuts, Stop Tech Crossdrilled rotors and SS brake line, Hawk HPS Pads, Motul Dot 4 racing Brake fluid, Pioneer AVIC D1 With 6 Disc Changer, Ipod Cable, XM Radio w/ Nav Traffic, DVD Player and Custom drilled Back Up camera , JL Audio 300/4, JL Audio 500/1, JL Audio Speakers replacing all stock speakers, JL Audio W6 with Custom CF vinyl on box, Nismo Shift ****, Nismo Floor Mats, Nismo License plate frame and a bunch of other thing I can't remember.

My Advice to you would be to only say nice things about other people cars, especially when the only mod you have is Floor mats. BTW, I'll sell you my plate Frame since your in need.

And to make you happy, my next mod is a BBK. I'll be getting a Stop Tech 14'' 6 Piston F/ 13'' 4 Piston R setup.

Sorry I put you out there but you were asking for it.

And in my opinion...
Taillights and reverse/blinker lights should be smoked.

The body shop couldn't do the hood vents. It would have been a shot from the hip. I'd rather take it to someone who has done it before. I have a drop already, I'm on S-Techs. In Miami as bad as the roads are I can't be any lower or I'd scrape everywhere.

The tailights will be switched out next month. I'm going to complete my conversion to a 2006. lol. I don't like the smoked lights thing because over time the lights look ugly.

I kinda like the bright and shiny wheels. I'm kinda old school and like the fact that I don't have painted wheels. Everyone is running painted wheels.

The Mercury Silver matches perfect with the Door Handles and side emblems. If you saw my car in person you'd change your mind. iPhone pics are not very flattering.
I'll be doing a photoshoot soon with an SLR.

Dude. You asked for opinions, and you're getting them. Sorry you didn't get the madd props you were hoping for. Your car is getting there, but there's still much to do.

I hear you. The car will never be finished in my mind. It will always be a work in progress. I read your mod list earlier, very impressive (Especially for a girl). I have alot of financial constraints this year with my wedding and all. If not I'd probably have the BBK and the PowerLab Turbo by now. Although the car is my passion, it isn't my life. In time, I will have all the mods I want. The good thing is the car is paid off.

It's been a tough 2 months with my job and the wedding plans. It is nice to get my car back though. I think we can do something next weekend. PM me if anything.

I like them alot so far, but I have a strong feeling that they will not last as long as the T1R's which I had before. Someone commented the other day that I need tires and I laughed. My tires have 2K niles on them. They look like they have a short tread life, but the grip like crazy too.

Nice pics. car looks complete now. Only thing i don't like are those red calipers. Looks like the body shop did a great job as well.

Before and After pics?

I still say get a better set of wheels to tie into the aggressive theme. Maybe some blacked out Nismo or Ray LE's.
