Registration: CUU33K

Hi everyone, I've been quite the forum lurker for a while now and not one to post much about my ride.
So I thought I'd share a few photos of my vehicle and document any new mods I decide to take on.

Feel free to comment or criticise my mods, overall I'll mod my car the way I like but...
I'm always down for different opinions and I might even take down some notes.

Peace out!

^ Post needs more specs/mods list please

dunno if i like the kit or not... every time i look at your car i cant decide... it is growing on me though...

Loving the height and wheel fitment though... if the WA police weren't currently on a mission to anally rape everyone with a modified car with a concrete fist, i would go for similar fitment..

This thing looks pretty sweet in person.

I'll get around to making a list... eventually! Although there is not much that is out of the ordinary.

The side skirts are a hit and miss and I still get mixed opinions even after having them on for over a year now.
I would love to go just a little lower, only a few mm more? but I think I'll be pushing it with the law & order.
The few policemen that have pulled me over have been very respectable but I don't want to push it too much.

Thanks a lot mate, hoping to make a few more changes before the new year.

Update:

I've finished painting my Brembos, all I have to do now is to put everything back together and onto the car.
Originally I was going to go with metallic blue but went for a murdered look to compliment my future theme.

(Forgive the photo quality but I only had my 50mm handy.)

Hey your fiddy is probably your sharpest, most affordable, best bokeh, most versatile lens in your bag! IQ looks fine...

Love the black on black on black Brembo looks.

What are those sexay side skirts on the Lib? :mrgreen:

Nice car and nice work with the Brembo's. :good:

Nice car. Especially from the rear quarter.

The only thing I can pick that makes the skirts look a little funny is that they don't match the front lip.
I think if it had a matching front lip / bar, it would be superb.

True I'm a big fan of the 50mm but I wanted to use something else in the arsenal.
The side skirts are Delta Speeds, I got them from Phat ages ago.

Thanks Mark, I took some notes from the walkthrough and your painted caliper thread.

Trust me I know what you mean, the only way I remedied the look was to add an under lip on the front lip.
It gave it a more chunkier and aggressive front end, plus it continued the thickness of the side skirts.

I'll experiment with my JDM GTB front bar (once painted) and lip, but if I don't like it I'll probably try something else.

Thank you and I'll definitely try to get new photos up when I have time, maybe once my new front end is on.
I'll sneak in some shots of my ride when I do my friends CL7.

Ian i think this looks amazing, wheels are perfect as well. very nicely done. rear pods have you thought about the DAMD or deltaspeed ones (more of a lip design similar to side skirts + front lip...keep the theme going)??
ive got the damd ones (rears + sides) sitting on my bedroom floor atm about to mount them tomorrow so ill chuck up some pics

Thanks! However I couldn't bring myself to like the Delta Speed rear pods, it just looked out of place.
The JDM rear pods actually follow the same lines as the side skirt but I'll have to take a better photo and post it up.

Looking forward to see how your DAMD set turns out, I was actually going to get myself a set but got Brembos instead.

I want those wheels and fitment! Looks mint.
