Just sharing some new pics of my car after a nice wash and 3 step meguiars wax. Also you can see Blue Bat's ovelays (messed up one of the back ones, will redo soon) and cleaned up engine (painted heat shield, sanded/polished the valve cover, painted lettering, and added more red wire looming)pics. Enjoy :)

clean. a set of springs would add some aggressiveness to your ride.

good job. :)
 
i had springs for a while just not on yet. Give me time peeps, i work full time and taking organic chem...
 
Thanks for the coments. NRRfrogmanp5 - i know, but i think i should be able to handle it...
It doesn't look that bad with stock springs, or does it?

and they are a b**** to do urself
NOT true...springs are very easy to do by yourself...granted it is a repetitive install(4 times doing the same thing) and can be tedious but its quite easy overall.

what color and size are the rotas?
Hey, once again thanks for the comments. I love these rota wheels, they are 16X7 in steel grey. Got 'em from machiii.com for around 450. They are very good, fast shipping and do awesome balancing job. If you need the wheels call them and ask for Wahlly and he'll take care of you. I personally like them because they are dark but not overly dark, and look great with red calipers :)
 
can I borrow a picture of your car, for my groupbuy? Your car is the only one I have seen with Rota's other than Natey's old wheels.
