It started as a jpeg. I changed it beacuase the car just looks so much better when the pic doesn't shrink and the pdf file upload max is much higher.

I was hit on the expressway and started doing a bit of DIY since the insurance company put me down as the part at fault. Its been a slow process thus far but I have a Velocity front bumper and side skirts along w/an AFB rear bumper and slotted/drilled rotors going on as well. An intake system might go on aswell along w/a Lambo door kit if funding allows!

You do know that the bumper is photoshopped right...

If I were you, id invest in new wheels instead of "lambo door kit".

at first you think lambo doors look cool. but then you just realize how impractical and what a bitch getting in and out of the car will be.

depends on what degree they swing, 70, 90 or 120, or gullwing which no one has done, either way i cant justify spending 1.5k on lambos+labor, instead of getting a turbo kit for like 3.5k which is way more better

Thanks for the advice everyone! I already have some black baccarat passion wheels but I am looking for a different look. Any1 have any good sugestions on new wheels and does any1 that currently has lambo doors have any feedback?

Here's the Tanabe Sustec GF210 springs and the new rotors. It was a pain in the *** doing the first one but after i gave it a little love and affection i was able get it off and just repeated the process. Not sure when the body kit is going on but I'm sure i'll get some free time next week.

A quick shot of the front. This one I had to pound on the screws a few times to actually get them loose enough to unscrew

the work wasnt to bad. I just had a bit of a problem w/the left rear lower control arm as i turned it while it was still in the braket and it was a beeotch to get out. Not to mention that this is my first time getting this in depth w/any car. I didnt do the springs myself though. Once i took the shocks out I had a shop put on the new springs.
