Photoshoot ---------- The Final Mod

I just put on the last mod on the car last week, and it was probably the final one. So it's time for a photo shoot





























Mod list:
Painted side markers
Painted grille
35% tint
Debadged
Valentine V1 hardwire
X pipe
Euroteck front lip
Euroteck diffuser
Carlsson gear knob
Carlsson 1/14 RS wheels
Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tires
Bilstein PSS10 coilovers
Powerchip ECU tune

By the way, I also rewired the ipod cable to the ashtray and i think it was a great idea.

OT - Does the middle of your Eurotech diffuser stick out? The one on my car does and it just so happened that someone bumped into my car while parking, so the part that sticks out got chipped. I'll be honest, installing that diffuser was a PITA & the fitment isn't that great. I've got a Eurotech lip laying around, waiting to be installed, but I can only imagine how that's going to go.

Back on topic, the car looks great. Three thumbs up.

Nice car. Why do you shoot all your pictures into the sun so they are all white balance imbalanced and the contrast washes everything out?

Wheels are hot, but we all have different opinions and taste.

thanks guys =)

the way i see it, the point to modding cars is to change the things you don't like about the stock car. so you technically should get to a point when the car is exactly how u want it. right now, i think i'm close enough to that point, so i decided to stop before i spend way too much time and money on it. I know modding is an addiction, but if i let myself mod just for the sake of modding, the car will just end up being overdone.

yea mine sticks out a bit too. but good thing it hasnt got hit so far cuz every time someone parked into me they hit my bumper first. I didnt put on the lip myself but as far as i can tell it's way easier. the fitment also turned out to be perfect. just remember there are 2 screws you need to put on on the sides, or else there will be a huge gap.
