some pics of my kouki

before i got my front lip



and after




its worth every dollar.. it makes my car look lower lol

unfortunately its a base coupe so.. i have 4 lug hub caps haha




i got the car for 6k with 62k miles on it. its an automatic though.

soo should i do a manual swap or get some black rims? i'm thinking about putting the oem spoiler on also.. but i like the wingless look too.

lol decisions......

well he already has a KA with only 62,000 miles...im guessing it would be cheaper and you would get better results if u just turbod the KA and swaped the tranny...and having a legal car is nice too

thanks guys..

right now i'm thinking of buying this manual swap for about 800

this includes..

the 5 speed tranny
driveshaft
flywheel
crossmember
clutch slave cylinder
ecu
metal lines
pedals
and wiring harness

does that seem over pricey? how much would you pay for all that? can anyone help me on AIM or MSN?

the lip sucks without sides, i thought it would look fine, then i ended up buying kouki sides. imo that is the next thing you should do
