    most definitely do NOT repaint the brake ducts white, keep them black. That looks good.

    Also, I am ridiculously jealous, also being the proud owner or an alpine 318is, but in FAR worse condition.

    On your car, however, to make it perfect, I would definitely get some drop hats. $20 and an hour of labor and you will lower the front of your car another 1/2"-5/8".

        Very nice! Did Castro Customs redo your old tails, or did you buy new ones?

              Really clean, very nice! Mine's getting there.


              I don't know about you but when I went to the IE3 springs I found I kept scraping the oil pan and finally cracked it. I got a new oil pan and a Peerless skid plate. /problems

                    dent is super easy to pop out. Just remove the grille and headlights and head the paint so it doesn't crack and hammer it out as best you can.

                    The car is really clean, i'm jealous! I only wish you would get rid of the splitters though..

                              I think the orange on tailights looks great on like a grey or green car. But on a color like black and white, all red is the way to go! :up:

                                Nice work on those tail lights! They look great, like the rest of your car.
