Default My EK Build Thread!

Hey guys, have been looking a lot into HT for a while, never decided to join, but here i am with my car, btw my name is Rudolph, and im living in Dominican Republic...
My car is a JDM EK3 VTI, with some great goodies from Japan, like Sunroof and GPS... For those who might ask, the car is a conversion from RHD to LHD, due to the cops, and laws, and yes it sucks!
1st car recieved some 17¨wheels, ADR mugen replicas painted red, and lips, and coilovers...
then placed some bars, and car was looking like this...


Then it was time for a change, and sold the 17´s and bought Mugen MF'8 replicas 15´s bronze, and changed HID color from Purple (dont ask) to yellow 3k!


Couple days later, bought Spoon CF wing...


I tried to get some real Wheels, and sometimes i was real close and never could seal the deal....
Then i bought 1 Recaro, i saw just coming in a trailer that just arrived from Japan... along with it got some 4 point harness, and also LCA, and changed rear bar to match the LCA...




So after a lot of stuggle sold my wheels got DA steelies and finally got this and how the car sits right now:


At this time i dont have a job, got tired of call centers, so not too much money to spend, but i think ill get new job next week to continue... Be nice on me, car is with me only for 4 months, and 2 of them without a Job! LOL!!
