The rims are absolutely a big plus point to the overall look.

Put some miles on the car. A magazine reached out and they want to shoot it- so I need to make sure it'll make that 200 mile journey. Also I'm toying around with clear vs amber side markers

Been following along since the beginning - clean build and nice car!

Did they shoot the silver on the car assembled and in the same session? Passenger door looks like a different color.

It looks outstanding either way. Silver is such a tough color to get right! Hopefully they take care of you and make it perfect.

They will. I got the extended lifetime warranty for that reason. Thanks for the kind words

Went to emissions testing and it failed as suspected. In January I'll register it as an antique so I won't. Have to fool with emissions.

Car runs amazing. The glove box rattles but that's about it

So I'm going to be changing the coilovers out. These are just way too tight. Hitting any bump is a nightmare. So I'll be researching what coilovers are soft, but let me lower it super low.

Throwing on the carbon lip to see how it looks

Maybe try the classic koni yellows and ground control coilovers?

I think KW makes something for the ek too.

JDM ecu, it won't communicate with the plug they use. It's all good, it'll be an antique January first

Yeah me too. This is my 17's, bigger wing, big aggressive lip - look.

I have my 16's at home that I'll run with the smaller wing, and less aggressive lip
