Shout-outs
I would like to thank 06tiburonofdoom for all of his help, which was alot, and the influence of his Tib. I would not have been able to get my car where it is today without him. I would also like to thank Shark Tales for his support and trying to push me to go bigger, lol. I also can't forget I4tiburon_edgar. He gave me a great deal on the lip and side skirts. Thanks guys!

Thank you.

Wow..ive NEVER seen a CS-2 front strut bar..i thought they only made the twin tube design for the rear..
I bought it from Trinity a little while back. From what I was told it was one of a few DC prototypes that they were testing before they went into production, but with the way that it wouldn't work with a s/c they changed the design before they mass produced them. I love the thing and plan to get a CS-2 for the rear pretty soon.

Winter Update

Haven't taken a picture of the engine with engine damper and catch can yet, but here are some pictures that I took when I was bored at work.

BTW painted the chrome rings inside the the headlights black. Not the best pictures to show it though. You like?

I think an update is past due. The only major modifications added were KONI Sports and Tein S's. Please excuse the low "photogenic quality" of the pictures. I had an amazing photo shoot the night before but for reasons I'm not going to get into, I lost all of my pictures. So, it's a little dirty and the background isn't the best (or even great for that matter).

Mods soon to come are wheel adapters, some fender rolling, black Rays lug nuts, F/L headlights, some valve caps that don't turn bronze from sitting in the sun, and few other things that some already know about but I don't want to reveal them until they're installed.

Here's a short exhaust clip. My camera didn't really pick up the sound that well, so you'll just have to believe me when I say that it sounds alot better in person. Funny story: As soon as I finished recording this, my D-bag neighbor got in his (*******) truck and revved the crap out of it after it had been sitting all day. He kept revving for about 7 minutes until BOOM! Then there was silence. I think the idiot blew his engine. lol

Thank you! I definitely agree with you on that one. Even though it's been a while since they've been installed I still catch myself not being able to walk away from it because I'm too busy staring at how much better the drop made it look.

Well.... about that.....

I actually picked up a complete F/L bumper assembly about a month after I bought that, so my focus is on that now. It's going to be sold to a local owner along with my current bumper.

It was kinda disappointing, especially after I tested it out for a couple of days and saw how great it looked, but I guess it's time to move on. lol

Half and half. I installed Alfa Otto overlays and converted the odometer to blue and the other indicators to red and blue (not pictured yet).

man i miss the dropped look (although i dont miss going slowly over bumps)...

sell them back to me, haha :(
Ha ha! It looks like the norm for me now. I look back at my pre-drop pictures and can't believe how high my car was, lol. I will say that your Tib looks good at stock height though. Might be the Metaphor bumper.

Unfortunately, I can't sell them back, but KONI is running a pretty good discount until the end of June. :3_winkthu




**I will try to take new pictures and update this thread tomorrow.**
