07 MS3-GT
Here is my 2000 ES. When i first bought her things looked fine but within a year it had been hit four times, twice in the front and twice in the rear (all 4 times the car was parked and i wasnt in it) and then the clear coat pretty much disintegrated off of the hood. So this summer ive gone to town and spent almost all my money fixing her up...tell me what you think....

we'll start with before pics (winter 05)

i like it ... i love those rims. were those the ones on negatizes car ?

thanks man.... yeah negatize sold them to me when he got his BBS's (they look better on my car anyway lol)
 
MP5 509-- like i said, i bought em used from negatize, but i think he said he paid like $250 each brand new...but i could be wrong

sickspeed-- i already bought tein stechs, i need to get the MSP struts, so if you have them for sale ill def take em off your hands
 
ive seen ppl in here that are pretty good at photoshopping (i myself am terrible haha) can anyone take these 2 pics and photoshop what it would look like with a 2" drop?? thanks

Nice man, any plans on a kit?

not sure yet, i havent found one that i absolutely love yet... if anything ill probly end up going with the sport20, but thats so damn expensive... is it possible to just put a lip on the stock front and rear bumpers with the msp/p5 skirts on it? (remember i have a 2000)
