Oh you know you wanted the used ones lol. And you know the picture of the girl in the package WASN'T that girl
I've been debating the UK300 wing for a long time. Not quite sure if I want to do that OR the wrx wing with ra risers.

Well I have good news and bad news...
Good...I have a ver7 sti now
Bad...It's just a plain jane model
With going through the auction & yen rate it would have costed me 9-10k for the car with JCI and inspections through GOJ (gov. of japan.) So, I was able to find one on base that a guy was selling and bought his for $7400
Already have some parts waiting to go on and it came with some goodies (that I'll be taking off actually.)
Tein coilovers ( god i hate them as i dont like coilovers)
sti front strut tower bar
cusco master cylinder brace
cusco rear strut tower bar
cusco downpipe
Greddy Profec B II electronic boost controller tuned by apparently AVO ( thats getting taken out and ecu back to stock since I don't trust boost controllers or know how their tune was quality wise)
cusco type 2 under brace
3" catback (not sure what brand, but im replacing it with my prodrive catback instead)
no name gunmetal wheels (getting ditched once I find some prodrive OR ver7 wheels)
52mm defi sti genome boost gauge (also have 2 more defi gauges to install and want a 3rd but not sure what yet as I have oil pressure and water temp)
Also have a bunch of fluids & maintenance stuff on order thanks to LIC which the car is going to get flushed out. Pic to come later since I haven't had time with this recent typhoon passing through.

Thanks guys. I'll try to take some tomorrow since today I'm getting some gold wheels thrown on. The previous owner had some AVS Model 7 in gold that I found out he was selling and I offered to trade him the gunmetal crappy looking ones on it for the AVS and he said yes. 
Naw I'm about the avg height here lol.
