Default New pics - 01 gsr - 56k probably not

I haven't posted pics in a while, and I made a few changes. Replaced the old lip with a comptech/wings west itr lip, and I painted it myself rattlecan style . I think it turned out pretty darn good for what it was. I also purchased a Comptech/wings west ITR spoiler. Next was the H&R coilovers replacing the h&r race/koni combo. It rides much better now for the daily grind. After that I bought some black Rays lug nuts, and thats it for now.

Nice wheels. The side skirts are too big IMO.

yeah i think most people don't. Even I am not IN LOVE with them. I don't like the stock ones though, and they aren't any others that really grab me.

I think the OE side skirts and rear lip would make it look a billion times better.

What made you get the spoiler?

I really think your car deserves an OEM front lip with a professional paint job, but your rattle can job definately looks better than I thought it would!

I got tired of the gsr spoiler. I would rather go wingless but it would cost too much to weld the holes and paint the hatch. Thus, I come to the conclusion of the itr spoiler Yeah I think it deserves a pro paint job too, but im gonna probably repaint the mirrors, skirts, lip, bumper and hood at one time, so I just sprayed it for now.

Yeah honestly even in person you can barely tell. The paint is a pretty much perfect match, but it is somewhat dull, more clear might fix that though.

I think your car looks hot. My car has the same lip kit as yours. Except on a green 4dr.

Does the level difference bother you from the front lip to the side skirt? the more i look at mine, it sorta looks odd.
