I ordered a set of gunmetal rota gt'3. I know there fake wheels but I'm a high school student so I have to get what I can afford later on down the road I hope to get a real set of wheels but for now I'm just trying to keep it clean.

Haha yeah plus I would rather spend the money on a k-swap. I'm feeling you on the clear fogs. After I get my wheels I'm getting struts rideing around on the stock ones suck but suprisingly there not to bouncey.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah I'm also thinking about a front lip.

Also I know this guy who does a really nice paint and body work he goes to different car dealerships and is dirt cheep so this summer I might color match my door handles and mirror's I also might lose the pinstripe.

Thanks everyone

I'm in for the build, Always did like the 04-05 body over the 01-03. No one should hate on Rotas, they make some of the cheapest well built replicas. Wonder why you see slip streams, J mags, and Gt3's all the time right?

An OEM 99-00 Si lip would go perfect with that car.

Yeah thats what I wanted was 99-00 lip because it doesn't hang to low. Yeah I don't think there anything wrong with Rota's they will serve there purpose.

Called a few places today looks like there backordered every where so its gonna be 2 to 4 weeks before rims come in but I am gonna order my tires 205/55/16 Kumho Ecsta SPT

Yeah the 99-00 si or type r lip I think are the same it would look sick. I got my bumper cover fixed today I taped a mail box and scratched the ever living s$%t out of it but I got if fixed for only $100 bucks guy did a really nice job.


Damn had a little snag today washed my car and the driver side headlight fogged on the inside so It didn't seal all the way thats what I get for not using silicone tomorrow I'm gonna see if I can cheat it and try to heat it up with the blow dry to see if it will re-seal.
