Not really feeling most of it but I have dif taste than most. I do appreciate the "doing something different" though. I really like your rear bumper choice as stated before Keep it up, it's fun to watch the progression. The front bumper is CRYING for a FMIC. Custome WB sounds siack! 300+ width maybe?

werd..some of the wide body evos run 305-315s all around, however sometimes its TOO much grip and detroys the diffs

I think the *cough*ispeed/crawford*cough* wide body sti runs 305s

some of the low offset 18x9.5 P45Rs would look sick!

car looks good and everything I like the height of the back but the front needs to be lowered more to give it that more aggressive look like that evo. Oh yeah and a fmic.

lowering the front a lot more than the rear is gonna rake the car and foul handling

Im sure the front is lowered already more than the rear, it just doesnt appear that way because the front wheel wells are larger

Wow that looks really good. I wasn't liking the bumper at first because it looked a little like a gaping smiling mouth (cracked out neon?) but it's growing on me. Looking at the whole car as it is now shows how the whole package works together. I think the fins definitely need to be flat black. If you have anyone in your crew who is good at masking and can feather a spray can, do it with some pro grade Rustoleum. The parts that will be the most visible will be easy to get a good even coat on, and the others won't matter because it's flat paint. I know it sounds cheap, but it could work really well if done right. I would paint every part of the fin black from where it "protrudes" off the bumper ala C5R.

Looks nice, digging the latest pics. Widebody would be rad. Makes me wish I had some cash flow and a tax-deductable reason to mod the frick outta my car. Oh yeah, and a garage. Haha...

Hey, SD...

If you agree with this statement, get back to me. I have one in stock that would work really well, and fit right in.

Let me know.
