well...

I know no one on heres gonna like it, its 40x better then flat black, and im getting it professionally painted in 6 months when i get my license. but for now, this will do, i kinda like the fact that if you pop the hood, the engine bay is all black and the car is blue, it kinda brings everything out more. but yeah, right now im finishing up my wire tucking and just cleaning everything else up, (msd blaster, just because i can move it out of the visual way. haha. The abs is hooked up, however the fuses are pulled, and we tested it...it doesnt work. lol.

The hicas rack is still in there, just not active..you dont even need that damn delete bar. if anything the hicas rack is badass. cause it helps kick the car out more. I'm not gonna lie, we have drifted this car already. and its ****ing sick, looking to pull out the vlsd and put a welded in there.

Anyways heres some kinda updated pics, if you see spots in the paint, they have already been fixed, no need to ***** about them. I have slotted brembo rotors, i have hawk pads in the rear. and some oem in the front.(yeah i know..stupid. haha), the megan short throw, i got rid of the pacesetter header, and im using an ebay one, as well as a full ebay cat back. gutted intake manifold. ebay cold air intake w/ k&n filter. battery is in the hatch, i will have polished intake manifold, front covers, and thermostat housing, as well as a powdercoated VC. I plan to keep the car N/A for a while till i get the hang of the car, then start building a motor. I already have a spare block.

wow thanks dude, i thought you'd be one of the biggest haters on that color choice..haha.

what do you guys think of clearing all the amber on the car? like clear lower part of the tails, and the front ambers, clear?

hmmm blue 240s are so gay.. who would like them.

jk lol

about your hicas rack... there is no benefits for drifting... a disabled hicas rack is only dead weight and causes your rear to be spongy do to the tie ends. also it can still shift on you causing misalignment.

Nah, most of my hate is only because I'm bitter and full of angst, LOL! HAHAHAHAH! In all seriousness, I think it looks pretty cool

NOW!

As far as clears, clear corners look pretty cool, but I think (especially if you're gonna be keeping the same color) I'd stick with ambers. I dunno, in a world of clear corners, your ambers will help you stand out . . .just my opinion.

hahahah. and yeah i guess. I kinda just saw what you meant. anyways. i may be getting coilovers for christmas..(gay right? haha), and wheels for my birthday, or atleast like 2 wheels for my bday. haha. i think im gonna end up with 17's because i want the 15x8, 15x10 002's but. number one, cant roll my rear fenders, or even pull them, number 2, that wide of a 15 is gonna be hard to find for drift spares.

I dont' mind the color either, its actually kinda cool. However, I think painting the lug nuts is about the ricer-est thing you can do
