    Default Some progress is made... slowly

    Well I have done some upgrades. Made some changes. More are still coming. Most of them are obvious but we will start with just 1 quick 'before' photo.



    So changed to smoked clears. Headlights and fresh OEM Fogs. HIDs in the lows and fogs. Swapped in Lux Package M3 Seats. Full interior detail. Swapped in a Kenwood eXcelon 492. M3 Style Rear Diffuser. M3 Front Lip(Unfortunately previous owner damaged the front bumper driving carelessly... thus the lip doesn't sit properly... suck). Replacement M3 Bumper Grill. Shorty Antenna. UUC Style DTM Catback(Vibrant Brand - Sounds great).

    Coilovers and Wheels coming soon. Something Euro. For the time being Mille MMII's will go on.

    Here she is now.









    Thanks for looking!

    I think cuz its a vert with a hard top.... If he ditched the soft top, and alll the motors and stuff that goes with it, he would have lost some weight from the back end. Therefore the rear would sit higher.


    I could be wrong tho

    So, when are you swapping bumpers. I know you aren't going to like that imperfection, lol.

    Looking better!

    How did you smoke your lights again? I forgot what you said the product was called.
    The lights are killer btw. They're bright, but not blinding.
