Default My newly lowered VX

I'll start from when I first got it about a year and a half ago.



First thing was JDM Foglights


Then I thought my VX wheels would look good in bronze.....(cough)


Then I got my LS wheels!!!!!



Check out the 4x4!!!!


Then SIR Corners (accidentally closed the hood on a bulb, thats the wire you see)


Then I got my HID's, which I love!


Finally, just lowered it on Skunk2 springs and struts. Need to replace the LCA's and trailing arm bushings in the back.

Thanks man, yeah everyone in town loves my wheels. Yeah, first I'm dropping in a Z6 that I've got in my basement. Then a K20 if I've got the money, if not then a b series.

Yeah it is! I topped out with 54 MPG HWY! But, something went wrong with the motor and I only get like 24 mpg city when I used to get 30+. But I'm not gonna get rid of it, im gonna swap in the Z6 and then I want to find an old CVCC or something and put the Z1 in it. Long way from that though.

The wheels turned out real well! Did you have any trouble taping off for the red stripe?
Overall great looking car!

Looks really good man. to a CLEAN EG Hatch. Keep up the good work and I really dig the LS wheels on the EG. Great job.

GL with everything you have planned for it. Just make sure you don't let it get stolen.

Nah man I had them powder coated black, then taped them off and painted on the lip using Duplicolors Metalcast Ground Coat and Red. I need to redo them though because a few spots were missed on the black (was put on a factory assembly line and done for cheap) and I curbed the wheels a few weeks back.....

I've had them for a year and I've only been flashed once. So many people have them where I live that is really common.
