    Do you have a 5 stud conversion?
    That's my top choice also, fully polished on that one.

    No, just the regular 4 lug.

    -CCW Classics / Classic 5s (3 pc)
    -Rotiform CCV / LHR (3pc)
    I think that the CCV's and the Classic 5's will most likely be fully polished and the other two I'm thinking chrome lips, gloss white center.

    Welcome to the addiction. What's bothering you about it's paint?
    Haha! Yeah, newer cars tint is okay. Older cars, must have fishbowl look. I am adding tint next week but 70% so it's gonna be barely noticeable. I just need too do t to protect the interior and keep it a bit cooler inside.


    There's a few dings and dents, also there are some areas like the trunk and hood that are fading a bit. When it's clean you can't tell that much, but I can. But at night it's when it's most noticeable. Also I bought it with bags and the fenders have minor signs of that, If I'm gonna fix all the little things wrong I might as well fix it all. So a proper paint job is a must if I'm gonna want this show ready.

    looks like you need to lower the brackets that are on the front bumper. shes sitting abit too high which causes that angle issue

    does it really need a respray? it looks beautiful in the photos
    It's currently aired out that's why it looks so low.
    It has its imperfections here and there, and It's eventually going to be a weekend/show car so I'm gonna need to make it look top notch. ;)

    Just a few little updates
    -Removed window tint
    -Getting 70% all around including windshield
    -Nardi Down spoke steering wheel
    -Nardi prestige shift knob
    -BMW Motorsports door handles

    I got Hella high beam covers as well they are just not on yet. I also have the lip and splitter but I don't drive with it on. Once my high beam covers come in I'm taking her out for a proper photo shoot. Lol





    Depending on the light the wheel matches the knob kinda nicely. But when the knob is installed, idk wtf happens. Lol. The knob is dark!! Debating on sending it back just because I'm picky about stuff like that, but overall it's nice.




    Overall, happy with this car. Can't wait to re spray the car and put some wheels on.

    I already have the IS lip for it. Also have the splitter for it, just haven't been wanting to put it on until she gets a full detail.

    Okay here we go, just because I found a bucket to stand on with my shorter leg. Lol.

    Didn't want to take pictures till she was buffed, polished and I put the lip/splitter on but who cares. I'll just take pix next time I do something else to it.
