WOW had no idea this is how
It would end up... I'm out of the loop with everything.... BUT the car is amazing, I love te current stance l wouldnt change that at all! My
Changes would be lip, r spoiler, clear corners and side markers.
R suede wheel? Is there such thing other than the t5r wheel? Sounds like an amazing find!

Also on my to do list. Just a little worried about a dead battery and being locked out haha.
With 854, it is a bit different, however 8 series doors are about $50/ea now. Should this ever happen and the the battery drains, break the damn window, and head home to fit your cheap replacement regulator and glass that are already in stock. B)

So ill. I love it.

Bummer about the rear fenders, that sucks :(

I know you said you planned on buying coilovers... What suspension are you currently running?

Did you remove your wheel well liners?

To be honest with you, I am only on cut springs all around. Fronts are from an 3g eclipse and the rears are from a 20th gti with adjustable perches. I did what I could with available resources. I literally had no suspension on the car a day before I was leaving and needed something to get me lower . Rear springs are on the way and coilovers are soon to follow.

As for the fender liners, I only trimmed out what I needed to in order to roll the fenders. No need to completely remove them.

Good stuff. NBD on the suspension setup -- who cares when your car looks that good? B)

Thank you very much!! If the rear spring rate was stiffer I wouldn't have a problem. John (JVC) did me a huge favor by sending me 450lb spring to try out in the rear so after I get that dialed in I can work on making the fenders perfect.
