My Coupe update...

The coupe has come along way from what it looked like a year and a half ago.... With my only mods being clear corners, Tint, HU, and System...




1 and 1/2 year later...














The car has been lowered in TEIN Springs - Thanks Patick!
Has 18" ADR Version II Wheels - Thanks Justin Wrock!
Painted Grille Black - Thanks to Jay!
Front Bumper Diffusers - Thanks to Jay again
Rear Spoiler (needs to be installed still) - Thanks to Ed!
Changed my front rotors to StopTech Crossed drilled and Slotted..
Got my siren chirp turned on. - Thanks to Karo
Tinted tails.

Things left on my mind to complete are;
Quad fogs, Powder coat the wheels black, MBarts front and rear Braces and maybe a tune and headers but not sure yet..

i dont recommend quad fogs, and if you powder coat black your wheels, then paint your front grill too, it would look great with the diffuser

Thanks Man, soon enough you will be

Jay is the MBarts guys he paid for my grille to get powder coated black and he helped me with the diffusers.

Lookin great! Everyone loves the brabus lip + older bumper, but I have always liked the updated front bumper on the coupes! I agree w/ frank that the rear needs some raising. Just go w/ the thickest pad and itll be roughly line up w/ the top of your rear tires. Do ya have maddd camber wear right now? what are the specs on the wheels?

Look great Jerry. Your coupe is definitely in the top 5. Just that microphone lookalike shift knob has to go.

That's good about raising the rear - it looks a little too fast & furious as is.

What sub is that? I'm trying to figure out a decent sub that won't make me lose the practicality of the coupey.

A lit Brabus knob would look great in there.

Yes the fender difference kills the back but o'well... I might be getting the 13mm pads and will also be putting my 10mm spacers on so hopefully that should give it a better look..

my woofer is a 12" Directed Competition 800 watts rms... I am aslo going to redo the box to a side mount so i may be getting a shallow mount woofer.

Ill look into the brabus shifter
