    The lip on the bronzit is a "i" lip with a Home Depot garden wall lip under it. Really ghetto.

    That car is really all go and no show. Has Koni Yellows with H&R sports, soon to have TC Kline sleeves, camber plates, and RSM's. Also has THR control are bushings, cone intake, full custom 2.5 exaust, Dinan Chip, Deleted A/C, half cage, Sparco fighters with 5 Points and a half stripped interior (full stripped at the track). I love his car but its a little too impracticle and looks a little too ghetto for me. Serves what he wants it for pretty damn well, and i love it, but just is a little too track dedicated for my daily driving needs.

    My car on the other hand started its life as an 89 "i" 5 Spd. I had a 91 "iS" Auto, which i had an accident in last October. I bought this one in February and swapped a lot of stuff over from my old car because it was pretty beat on. Interior, all door panels, trunk, iS side skirts, rear bumper, wheels (from previous owner, not my choice), New dash out of a cabrio, a bunch of engine bay parts, and soon ill have the diff in. I've also bought the iS lip, new tires, painted the lower valences, and done a lot of basic maintenence. It will be plenty modded soon enough but i need to save a little more money before plunging into this one. It's serving perfectly as my daily driver right now and i couldnt be any happier.

      The wheels are made by TSW. Im not sure on the exact model because they came with my previous 91 iS and were swapped over when i got this car. I'll be replacing them soon enough, but honestly they dont look bad at all. Just curb rashed to hell and back from the PO's.

                I like the SportMax's on the bronzit, I think I like them better in straight silver than any other color I've seen them in.

                  Yeah, mine's the bronzit. I recently hit a small animal going about 50 head on at night. I made the lip so that it would "break away" upon impact, which it did perfectly; the only bad part is that I was on a busy road, so about three cars ran over it while it was on the ground, splitting both ends apart...hence the duct tape and screws. Also the bumper on the right side has been like that since I bought the car. The previous owner hit something there, and effed up that whole corner. I have recently purchased a new bumper that I will put on when I repaint my car.

                  But like Joey said, it's my DD track car, so looks aren't the most important thing to me.

                      Another one bites the dust to Sportmax!

                      The bronzit looks pretty nice.
