Vertex Rear & HKS Hipermax III's
Finally got the coilovers set to my desired height. I got the RB tips cut off and replaced with stainless steel black chrome to match the theme. Sorry for the crappy cell pics. I'll have some killer' pics once I find time to get with Zach. Enjoy!

hey man, congrats on finally posting up the pics, the car looks AMAZING!
love the HKS hipermax III's , and the full Vertex kit goes extremely well with the CF.

Those exhaust tips were the perfect finishing touch on an already well modified vehicle.

Yeah, i'm quite pleased with how well it came together. Thanks for transporting the Vertex and the trips to the body shop man.

Haha, thanks 9k. I had to reroute the exhaust to fit the Vertex bumper and since they had to make cuts I figure I should switch up the tips to match the theme. Thanks goes to NgoRX8 for locating the tips.

Yeah, I need to hook up with Zach soon. In the process of buying a house so not much free time....sigh.

Nice car, a bit too low handling wise but it surely looks cool!
Anyway, how hard would it be to modify the vertex rear to accept a real diffuser? I've been contemplating that body kit for quite some time...
