congrats, man. you have lots of work put into your car. I would say lower it more but I'm sure you don't want to mess your body work up.

Goof - you're so close to perfection. always been a fan of your footwork and car.
from a fellow pro's standpoint i've got a few details that'll push you into oblivion -

1. wheels that fit your ride - they're gonna need to be wilder
i think that 18x10 +10 / 19x11 +8 work meister's in flat black would set it off.
you could also go w a custom volk gt-c/f, ssr sp1/3, varianza, t1s, garsons from
texas, etc. in sim sizing.

2. brembo oem stocks painted to match your ride w 2p hats matte black.

3. powdercoat that fmic matte blacko.

4. proper suspension to compliment and continue killing it in general...

Again, your car is full of win, i just wanna see it maxxxxxxxed out.

Your car looks fantastic. However, even it can be improved and you probably already know this. Yes, this all depends on your wallet and what you want to spend but a BBK, headlight upgrade, and a better looking inter-cooler setup would make your car the sex. Not a fan of what's inside the hatch but I can appreciate the effort. In any matter, your car is dope man and keep up the good work.

thanks guys!! and yes!!!! everything you all said is on POINT! lgear080 my bro! you are dumping great things on me man! i appreciate that! i really do need new wheels and a sick custom bbk set up to set my car off...i think i would be safe to lower it enough to flush it out!

I have a set of 06+ heads and tails im going to have customized and out on, unfortunately this photoshoot was done before i got any of the summer show stuff on.

I really gotta let my wallet replenish a bit! last winter my car was silver rocking a nismo v2 body kit naturally aspirated! haahaha!

I think with all of your guidance, my car will be the car ive ALWAYS dreamed of since i was a kid! thanks guys! the adventure is still underway!

one . at the very least you're making strides towards immortality.

Is there a way to do that without seriously harming the IC's thermal effeciency?

Not so sure about powder coating an FMIC...wouldn't a light coat paint be better conductor thermally? I'd be worried the powder coating would affect it thermally.

wow congrats dude!!! to do mod lists; like everyone said darken your fmic. 06+ headlights paint the housing black and the silver part color match it with your car, that would look nice on your car. a more aggressive fitting wheels, igear had a great suggestion on them. i would suggest to leave the bbk for last, since it might not fit if depending on the wheels you get.

agreed w most..
fix up the FMIC , match up the headlights in matte black and match coat even just the stock calipers for the time being. Aside from the new wheels, all pretty simple to-dos

Very cool car, for being a loud color its not overdone at all i think.
Nice ride senor.

You seriously don't want my APR front splitter! It would completely mess up the lines you already have, plus they'd have to drill into your front to properly secure it. Looks good man!

P.S. When you get on a national mag you better sign my copy!!
