It came factory in the car, I just painted it. I'm pretty sure that it comes factory in all 07-08's except the SE edition since those have the multi-gauges.

Thanks for the support guys. Car should be lowered by the end of this coming weekend when I get home from college. My SA-8V.2 arrived as well. I would upload pics but sadly it's at my house and not here at school lol.

Good work man...obviously the Tib looks much better lowered! As for the wheels, they definitely look like MB Battle's...probably with a +15 offset. The wheels themselves look good, but IMO running 9.5's with that much wheel gap looks...off. I think your Motegi MR-125's will look better, even if they aren't as flush.

Thanks man! She looks so much meaner lowered and the ride is amazing. The 9.5's poke a little too much for my liking, but after seeing how well wide wheels fill the fender I think I want 8.5 or 9" wheels now.

Well, I haven't updated this in a while. Not much new at the moment, but the middle of next month is bringing D2 coilovers and more low, an Ultra-Racing front strut bar and rear sway bar, and here in a few days I should be getting my custom camshaft shift knob from Slow2k2GT. I'm also working on getting a feature with a local stance group after I get my coilovers on. These are some pics from the Summer Import Alliance meet.

Thanks!! He had a GI thread up not too long ago asking if anyone else wanted one, not sure if you saw it. It was $60 shipped to my door if you were interested in maybe getting yourself one.

sweet tib! can't say i'm too fond of the eyelids tho
Super clean, keep up the good work
Thanks guys, I appreciate the support!!
I have a GS, and mine came with the low spoiler; I like the high spoiler so much better! Did you install that after the fact? How much did it cost you?
Thanks man! And yeah, I installed the high rise spoiler myself. I got it on ebay from a seller named "autowingandspoilerking" for $129 shipped to my door and already paint matched to my color code. You should check them out.

UPDATE: D2 coilovers are installed. Car now rides about 1.8" lower than factory. Front fits like a dream but still need a little more poke in the back. I'll be getting 10mm spacers soon to compensate until I get some wider wheels and I'll also be going to 225/40/18 tires in the near future to help fill up the wheel wells. Should I go Ichiba or ebay brand for the spacers? Also going to be installing Ingalls smart arms soon. But on to the pics, let me know what you think...

It was another long day and required a lot of minor adjustments so I couldn't get pictures today since it was dark when my alignment was finished. I am truly excited to share my progress and just can't hold out any longer to make you guys wait for pics, lol. First off, let me say that I know not everyone will love this update and many may absolutely hate it but I did this for me and I accept all criticisms openly. I am now the first BAGGED Tiburon in NC and to my knowledge one of the very few that has been bagged. I can't wait to get pics up for you guys tomorrow and get some feedback!
