don't get me started on the lip. it's a vs1 replica from jay at evo-r.net the fit is crap and I sent pictures to jay because he asked me to and then completely ignored me. I paid 400 shipped and pained for a lip that has gaps all over. so I would not recommend it to anyone.

Nice DIY'er, must have been a pain!

Not to get too off topic with your vortech install but hows do like your stance coilovers(is too harsh or just right)? Do you need any other components except for the front and rear camber kits? Like endlinks...? Sorry to go off but i'm curious because I was thinking about going stance or maybe HKS.

I didn't get any other components, but then again I like the negative camber. Hell I haven't even gotten an alignment yet and it's been 10 months. Those nitto neogens handle the negative camber really well.

the ride is great, but the rears are a little noisy.

Car looks great man, very clean. How much lower is your car all around? I am want that lower look but I just don't know if I can live w/ it everyday. Mine is a daily driver. BTW how much did it end up costing you for to go boost?
