Yeah man it is! Just a little lip but I like it, subtle yet stands out!

Yeah hopefully, I'm usually at most downshift events and what not so if you see the car or me with it don't hesitate to come say hey :D

Bit of an update for whoever is having a look at my post

Had a busy couple of weeks with work and organising parts along with my tune so here is a run down of what's to come!

Got my tune done on Sunday by Matt from Kido, super happy! Also ordered new wheels and tyres which arrived today, some nice 225/40/18 Federal RSR's to wrap the new wheels in which will be shown to everyone once they get put on the car which brings me to the next point, ordered some BC BR Coilovers with custom 8KG Front and 9KG Rear springs from JustJap, hopefully will arrive on Friday, just waiting on the coilovers before putting the wheels on, something new for you all :D Last set in Australia too :D
Next step is to look into a front lip from Ultrex and I have a fabricator wanting to try something new with the H6 exhaust systems which should be fun too :)

Also just put some new front brakes, Bendix pads with DBS T2 slotted rotors and a new gearbox mount as mine was absolutely goneeee haha. Getting my windscreen strip tinted on Saturday for a bit of a nicer look too! Lots of things happening and lots more to come, have a look through the photos and enjoy :)

Hey MattyB, good stuff. Hope to catch up with you and other Brizzy members in the not too distant future. I remember the days long ago when I could spend heaps of cash on my ride. Enjoy it for as long as you can :)

Very neat! I bought a MY05 too last Saturday :D

Would defs recommend you get sway bars + struts ASAP. Makes a huge difference.

Also, where did you source all your lighting from? I'm thinking of doing that soon...
