Yeah. It came out pretty good. Only overspray area was the damn SMIC, which shortly after this pic was taken was rattle canned flat black.
coils from SPLparts

some might not say low enough. but this is pretty low enough for me.

You're only putting 215 tires on them??? Seems a little small don't you think?
Other than that, car looks hot, and yes, those wheels are f'ing badass.

i want it stretched for minimal sidewall flex. its just little trick to help for a "drift" setup. God that sounds gay to even put it that way, but thats what I have this car set up to do for me. I have found 235 rears to be to grippy with around 250-260 hp on SR. I find that with more like 300ish hp it is easy to break 235s in rear loose and control but right now 215/40s do me fine.

Oh, ok, so you're going to actually drift the car? That's cool, but I wouldn't have spent so much money on body work if you're going to drift....looks so purty it shouldn't be driven

? i plan on crashing it and duct tape /zip tie fixing for a while to come haha
full aero kit and paint? a lot of just amateurs in japan ..rather..most of them have that as well.the current BM hai and d1gp style is a mix of drifter and VIP widebody style so thats what I tried to create. super boro is ok for street..but in competition with even match drivers its not bad to have a car that stands out a little

you should sit the rims on top of something black, and then lean them against your stock rims and take a picture at the right angle, if you know what I mean.

Just a small block of rubber which they use when lifting your car up with a jack or a hydraulic lift 
If you get the right camera angle, it can look like the rims really are on the car

Word. The springs they use are KG/MM, and the piston size on the monotube struts are bigger then JICrap (whoops did i say that out loud)..not to mention for rebuild time..for $500 they send you all new shocks! no down time and paying for gay rebuild service.
