looks pretty sweet.

i hate that in the usa you are legally required to have a front license plate. and they arent even the sleek euro plates.

Not everywhere in the US, just move to AZ and you do not have a front license plate.

Nice, as I said in the other thread, I like the two tone. It works.

Not sure what you mean by "new suspension" being required after installing lowering springs. All you really need to do is get an alignment.

yea, most springs won't show a drastic premature wear on the shock in comparison to the stocks. we don't even know how long the stocks will last.

im not sure. the place where i got a lifetime membership for alignment gave it to me cause this guy there had them and said that he wasnt goin to use them so he gave them to me :/ they are purple but they dont have a brand on them or anything.

and i dont know i jsut thought red was too common so i went with yellow. and they are just painted so i can change the color if i want. i think im goin to paint them black along with the inside of my rotors. and yea im working on getting some new pictures i would take them now but its rainin outside :/

Not to be a stick in the mudd... but youve got a serious gap between your front fenders and hood, I can see your engine bay thru it. Not really feeling the yellow calipers, doesnt fit the rest of your color scheme, and your rotors are ruuuuusty.

Besides that it is looking good. Youre on the right track, just try to keep things tastefull and not too obnoxious (i.e. your loudest exhuast ever plan) We have plenty of loud-for-nothing cars already in FL, what we dont have enough of is clean/well put together street cars.

Keep up the good work man, and take what I say for a grain of salt... its your ride, do what makes you happy.
