Default A Lil Before and After....

Here she is when I bought her last August....













Still making some tweaks here and there. I have my eye on a WW RS lip and maybe a 14mm GS-R sway bar.

Not feeling the taillights or black moldings, but otherwise it looks good.

i like the taillights... never been pulled over for mine...

i love this hatch; imo perfect stance, as a lot of kids are into crazy offset and crazy wheels,
its nice to see a hatch thats still auto-x-able

I have a feeling the tailights would look A LOT better if they had some clear on top of them. Right now, they're really dull and seem kind of half-assed (just my opinion).

Beautiful SI otherwise, I really like those wheels.

I actually sanded a few layers off and only threw a lil clear on there.

I think a painted front lip will flow a lil better with the painted skirts.

Looking good. I like how you kept the front flaps with the EK sideskirts

I would lower the back about 1/2" to even it out though...

Yeah, I noticed that most ditch the flaps with the EK skirts. I'm waiting on some negative camber to lower the back.

black moldings go awesome with your black spoiler and smoked tails.

wheels and stance really make this car great.
