Before and After

[Nygdup]

See old sig for before shot...



After:
- 15" Rota Grids
- Shadowline
- Removed purple wind deflector
- Front and rear bumper tuck




Next up, cosmetically, will hopefully be some springs and an IS front valence. Mechanically, well, its an m10.

wheels look nice but sure needs to be lowered a bit. good work

i'm pretty sure your car could handle a ride through those woods in the background. looks good otherwise.

gotta take baby steps when you're on a budget like mine!

hey bro I fixed that statement for you :)

[CleanAzzE30z]

oh shit I didnt know it was electrical tape.

[Nygdup]

electrical tape would have been easier

[delphini]

have you given thought to color matching your lower rockers and bumpers and surrounds to the alpeinweiss ??? it'll cost a few bucks but it'll make a HUGE difference . lookin good otherweiss.

[Nygdup]

ya, i've thought about it... or, more accurately, dreamed of it. Something that the pics don't really show is how horrible shape the factory paint is. Cracking, small spots of surface rust, etc. I'm not sure the previous owner ever waxed the car. But I bought a runner with an above average interior for $700... who am I to complain.

[mtechnik]

Going in the good direction. I share your limited budget woes

[uofom3]

good improvement - it's moving in the right direction

on your grids, what offset did u get?
how big of a spacer are you using.

[Nygdup]

et 38, using no spacer. Tires are only 195/60 though, no rubbing issues.

I know everyone thinks that they are too small, but it's the same size that came stock on the car. Not to mention, this is an interstate and city driver, not much of a mountain runner to track rat.

Baby steps with a budget like yours should have started with lowering springs and shocks.

A lowered car with stock wheels looks a hell of a lot better than a stock ride height car with aftermarket wheels.
