Default my ej8 build >>>recaro ssr skunk2<<<

so im 18 years old and hav been through 5 cars this being my 6th and i plan on keeping this one. Before this car i had a 97 rhd coupe. that had a bunch of stuff done to it. i bought a "type r" swap to put in it and jus never stopped havin problems out of it. so i tore it down. i mean stipped the car to nothing and traded it for a semi stock 00 coupe. when i traded the rhd shell it had no motor, susp, wheels, seats, steering wheel, mirrors, exhaust, radio, shifter, ****, everything that i could keep i did lol and i even ended up getting a playstation 3 outta him. he wanted it so bad in all the wrong ways.

so upon getting this new coupe it had cut springs, busted track r's, a huge gray spot where someone hit him and he did and awful job with some bondo (some 1/2 in worth of bondo) no front lip, and stock interior. i dont hav any pictures of it like that.

but i got to ordering
master bushing kit


blox lcas


blox extended studs

blox lugs

s2k push button start


viper 5901 alarm

i dont hav pictures of everything like i wanted cuz we were in a stupid hurry cuz i was about to go off to school ill post them as soon as i can get them...but everything else included:
a woodgrain nrg steering wheel

nrg hub

function and form type 1's
pair of recaro speed seats

a fit front lip
skunk2 shifter
blox ****
skunk2 pro series after cat exhaust
brand new magnaflow high flow cat
purple asr subframe brace
16x7 16x7 +33 ssr schumachers candy teal with polished lip
lots of spacers lol

this is how the car sits now



this is going to be a slow build cuz im in college as of right now but the next thing on the agenda is paint. ive considered a few colors like a deep dark purple or a burgundy...im not sure yet...what ya'll think? all i kno is the green has got to go lol any comments are welcome even if you want to bash i dont care i like it so its not gonna hurt my feelings lol

I don't think burgundy or purple would look good unless you repaint the wheels too...just my $.02. Also, please get a new lip ASAP. Other than that, I'm likin it man Come check out the Squad site when you have a chance. (ej8squad.com)

I think you can make this out to be something real classy but very necessary. What i mean is a nice clean beast.

definitely diggin the purple/teal combo
I think maybe a somewhat neutral color for the car might be a good idea when you have all that color going on w/ the wheels/interior, etc.

paint it battleship gray+teal & purple interior/accessories I think it'd be dope.

Just my two cents. Looks good so far tho.
