My turn...exterior mods done.

After a long time, all my paint work is done, tires installed and body kit stuff installed. I will try to show the progress from start to finish with a few posts.

First, everthing in boxes and new tires to be swapped out.

Removing side skirts, rear spoiler and vinyl stripes (with some help). The stripes will be replaced because they were old and starting to crack.

New exhaust and old exhaust and new tires installed. Though the old and new tires were both 295's on the rear, the new Nitto Invos were wider than the Toyos.

I don't have any of the paint work except for one of the door dings being repaired. Budy of mine did the paint work and did an awesome job. Side scoops installed, exhaust installed and starting on the side pods.

Starting on the CDC ducktail spoiler, probably the scariest part having to drill into the car! Installed the rear LED brake light.

The end result I am officially done with external mods. The last one on the list is the Saleen supercharger. I got the look I wanted and I have to say that CDC spoiler is sweet. I actually had to install the factory rear springs to get over the security gate at work, but I have ordered a set of Steeda springs that lower the car only 1". I think that should do the trick.


They are not the best pictures and the car is a little dirty, buy you should be able to get the jist of it

Click on this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHoJ2j6dba8 I have the exhaust on but no side pods or tips. It was from my last autocross event. Not the best quality video and there are some other cars on it, but you should get an idea of the sound.

When you were listing all the pieces I thought the car would look "bulky" but it came out looking nicely balanced.

Yea, the side exhaust really does cause a problem with this. I had the Eibach pro springs in there and the tire gap was almost non existant with the taller profile tires. I just couldn't get across the security ramp at my work. I hope the Steeda springs will look okay, but I really have no choice.
