My Car

So I've yet to make a sweet album with pictures of my car or anything (besides the two from texasrxs drive) but I filmed this video from my iPhone the day I got my car. Let me know if you guys have any ideas for future mods that would look good with this color/set up.

needs clear corners
remove the front license plate
needs tint
and hit the exhaust shrouds with some Back to Black.

then you'll be set!

Havent done too much research on it, but I'm guessing it isnt illegal to have front license plate off as long as the rear one is in place? I also got it tinted 2 weeks ago (35% on front, 20% on rear windows and back), and I definitely need to hit up those black exhaust shrouds. All i need now is... money

It is illegal to run without the front plate but I have never ran with one and never gotten a ticket. But then again I am not a young kid either. I would suggest the AP lip (or any other lip spoiler) and a drop to start

Nice Shinka

I'll probably go the front plate in the window route. I'm definitely getting a drop. I welcome all help when I get to those stages if anyone wants to practice, but has enough experience to not **** it up

If you wanna make a trip to SA we can knock it out, I have done about ten spring installations on RX-8's and three coil over installations. But hopefully the Austin guys will step up and get organized.

My dad lives there, so I might be down there often actually. I'll let you know when I head down if there are any events/drives/hang outs/ whatever.

Nice car! I love that color paint up in person.

My suggestions would be:
Drop the car
Some nice wheels
Nice lip kit/body kit
Then bolt on mods
Tint would be nice since we are in Texas haha

After I wash my car again, I'll post up another picture with the tint.
