Exterior Finnaly Finished....or is it?
whats up guys?
I finally took delivery of my car today, it looks like a magazine car... it's insane how beautiful it is... and I got my new Tenzo R Passion 5's on wrapped in brand new Riken tires, 225/40/ZR18, and man I think they look awsome... yes they have a high offset but I'll be getting spacers as soon as i can afford them....
Anyways, without further adieu, the pictures....
oh yeah..

EDIT: reading over this,and a few other threads on this car w/pics, i realize everyone tells me what i need to do with my car.... yeah i know my wheels have high offset, yes i'm at stock 4x4 ride height, all this i realize.... but i also just spent over $4000 in the last two weeks on paint, body work, and wheels (got a great deal on 'em), and new tires.... so please, appreciate my car for what I've done to it cause i sure as hell do... i can't believe it's even my car after what it used to look like...so thanks for the guys who're giving me props, and support, it's only getting better...for the others... how clean is your 240? slammed, flush, and door dings, faded paint, etc...

How clean is mine?
it's lowered, check
it's got flush enough wheels, check
track ****, check
more suspension parts, check
exterior looks like ***/stock, check
I like your car, but having a kit with no drop/slammage just looks weird. i mean..really weird.
Stance/KTS time! GO!
any interior work?

little bit, short throw, rockford fosgate speakers and tweeters, shift ****... i just like to keep it clean inside.... i agree, factory ride height with kit is weird.... but my girl wrecked it and paid for everything, so, i can't complain!
Also it's not just you mad ***, it's alot of people, the mods are pretty cool about it, but hey! i do need to lower it, and i got this $1000 set of wheels with tires that i had to replace, for 200 bucks, you can't beat that with a stick, and they beat the daylights out of my Motegis...i also already have spacers, small @ just 5/16" but enough for now. As far as performance parts, they may be cheap but I've got a few NA bolts ons, nothing extreme.... so i am working on the performance aspect of my car, it just so happens the exterior is coming along faster... also this is my DD i don't have to be slammed, with "mad tyte" flushness, even though I'd like to be, but as previously stated, i've already scraped my front twice pulling in my driveway...any lower and I'll be going through fronts like mad. as far as my suspsension goes, it's already pretty tight, even though looked under the body while installing my header and test pipe that my front ball joints are bad... easy enough fix... hell, i'll be putting a major dent in my wallet getting my OE rotors resurfaced, and new pads all the way around....
anyways, back to opinions and comments about the outside of my car.... it's what this thread's about... so keep it coming guys...and i appreciate your compliments, suggestions, and even your negativity, it means my car is getting a reaction, and thats what it for.... 240 pride...out.

dude the car came out nice and its your car and your money do what you want and what you can dont worry bout anyone else everyone has their style and everyone does things there own way.
for instance alot of people love stretched tires on this forums as for me i auto-cross alot so i cant stand stretched tires cause it makes me looke like the drift king at an auto-cross lol. this is why im ordering some chunky tires 235 up front and 275 in the rear

Nice.... I'm not too worried about anything... just getting tired of hearing "offset" and "lower" all the time hahaha, no biggie... it's all coming, just a matter of time.... personally i think my car looks AWESOME.... hell it's the only one like it in Gainesville FL... there's only maybe 7-8 S14's in all of G ville (go gators), most you seen on any one of em is rims.... mines unique.... now i have my open exhaust, simple bolt ons, my clean body lines.... just drop it a tad and i'm solid.... eventual track duty will ensue

drove around like this for a long *** time...
hella UG, beat to ****, with tires-way-too-small-for-the-wheels, and scrape on flat ground stupid ride height...and loved every mother****ing minute of it.
