Default My EP3 build thus far! Couple old pics.... couple new pics

two new rolling shots!






Well, I've gotten to a point where I love my car.... and its basicly done and time to enjoy it. And this is the first time since buying it that I dont have parts on the way or stuff left to be installed.

Its done. For now lol. Now once stuff starts breaking the 'upgrading' will begin. Hope the engine blows up asap

Anyways... enjoy


Bought it new in October of 05'


And that didnt last long.... maybe a month of stock lol. Dumped some money into it. CTR wheels, c/f lip and wing... and some other ****. Still stock suspension.


Then I "dropped" it on Eibach prokit (biggest waste of time ever)


My hood got f'd up... picked up a OEM c/f hood.


Then it went in for version 2... mugen grill, ctr side skirts and rear lip.





Finally got it dumped another 2" over winter (finally! thank god!)





And then I added some small details to finish it off

No strut bar


With J's Racing Strut bar


Done!









Oh ya, hit some **** on the highway the other day so the lip is cracked. So, it will be painted eventually if i ever get around to it.

i would have gone with authentic CTR bumpers and lips, but that's me, it looks a hell of a lot better. painted front lip is also much cleaner. still looks clean though.

Now that would be a completely different story

The CTR bumper do look 10x better but I just cant justify to cost of them..... or atleast not yet
