A couple quick shots with the phone picking up the car at the detailer. Car goes in tomorrow for springs, front lip, low dust pads, skid plate, reflector swap, wheels & fender well mod.

Will get some proper pics this week.......I'm happy with how it's come together.

Just picked up the car from the shop. Wheels look soooo good.

Springs need to settle a bit. Will add better pics in the near future. These a a couple quick shots before I have to go to work.

Looks like a nice!!

Any scraping with the maxton V1 lip and Eibach combo?

(Hopefully I get delivery of my car in 3-4weeks, I have the Eibach’s and some more goodies in the garage ready to go. Haven’t decided on a front lip yet, and I was looking at the maxton V1)

Not as of yet. Only put a small amount of miles on it so far.

Hopefully it stays that way, especially after the springs settle.

Also ordered the Storm Motorwerks Shift Knob

Ordered Bilstein Coilovers today. They retain the factory EDC which was a must for me. The Eibach springs just didn't lower the front enough for me. Figured instead of buying another set of springs that lower more might as well take the plunge on coilovers.

These are backordered everywhere so I don't expect to get till November or December and I'll install next spring.

I’m really looking forward to hearing how those Bilsteins work out for you.
So much back and forth on here about springs creating poor ride quality and blown dampers that I really lost the want to lower on stock dampers.

I look forward to your thoughts on the Bilsteins. I'm between those and the Nitron e-tron coilovers, but neither is available yet.

I'm looking forward to installing as well. Talk to the shop I ordered from and they said they will hopefully be shipped by the end of the month.

Won't get installed till the spring though.

My Bilstein Coil Overs arrived from Germany after a 3 month wait. Went with the Bilstein to retain factory EDC. Looking forward to getting these installed in the spring.
