      Nice! I like the gold wheels with the white body, that looks good.

      I'd also like to know what suspension you're running.

            White car with gold wheels, gold kidneys, and gold bumpers? I bet that would actually not look too bad...

                  And gold window trim. It would be like an E30, Toyota Camry-Edition. :D

                    I rarely say this, but you may want to consider shadowlining the trim. With all of the white color-matching on the car, it would add a nice contrast.

                      Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

                      Personally, I'm not a huge gold trim fan myself.

                        Brakes are the TMS package with the drilled rotors and Ultimate pads. I already added the stainless brake lines and 25mm master.

                        Suspension is from TMS as well. Bilstiens with H&R sports. Every bushing including subframes is now urethane. KMAC camber adjusters and billet rear shock mounts. 22mm front sway.

                          I'm an idiot. Whats TMS?

                          Sounds awesome!

                            2.7 turn lock to lock. It is the most dramatic change I have made to the car. Really transforms the feel. I bought the kit from Zionsville Autosport. Not cheap, but great instructions, everything fit like it should.
