What's up guys?
I had my car for about 5 months and for mods so far I got Tein-S springs, Alpine headunit, tints, painted side skirts, clear side markers, autometer boost guage, I also painted my brake callipers red. In a week or two Axxis Metal Masters and new eBay rotors are going on the car.Next are some wheels, hopefully I'll be able to get Superleggeras but only the depth of my pocket will tell. After that some power mods, I'll start off with a Borla Hush and then maybe Accessport. Anyways here are some pics, tell me what you think.

I really like it....super clean! I too have the white. I am currently awaiting the arival of my white side skirts, but I also have the JUN eye lids and the white mesh fog covers. I really like how you removed the orange casing for the turn signal. I'd do it, but my eye lids pretty much cover mine up.

how much lower is your car?

I was gonna ask why you chose to put the head unit below the flip-down compartment... so it wouldn't get covered up by cups in the cup holder, right? Good enough reason for me.

I second the gunmetal rim suggestion, it'll set off the clean white and clear nicely. First ones that came to mind were 17 or 18 gunmetal rota torques.
Keep it clean, simple, and understated... you will be the envy of many

...including me


one more thing though... why Ebay rotors? I'm guessing they are one of those f/r sets which are machined by some other company than the one that manufactures the rotor. On the pic of the rear rotor, it looks like the holes closest to the outside are dangerously close to the edge. Since it's in the rear, it probably won't happen, but a cracked rotor can be somewhat catastrophic at freeway speeds (when it's most likely to happen). My worry with rotors machined not be the manufacturer is that they are manufactured solid to specifications to maintain integrity, but when the structure is altered (drilled/slotted), it may compromise this integrity. I'm not trying to get you not to install them, I'm just giving you a heads up because I've never seen this issue discussed. Everyone, please tell me what you think about this. Am I just being paranoid?

I have read the threads regarding rotor cracking, but I decided to get them anyway because I don't drive aggresivelly and as long as these rotors provide the same braking power as the stocks did I am fine. With the way I drive they won't get too hot and probably wouldn't crack. I removed the orange from headlight by baking them. At first I was gonna break the orange pieces and pull them out by parts, but I used pliers and couldn't crack them. Some guys had luck doing this with gardening shears.
In reply to RSA WRX my car is lowered 2 inches in the front and .7 inches in the back according to TEIN.
Thanks for the comments guys.
