Today was a gorgeous day up in the Northeast, so after I got out of work I washed the car real good to show some progress pics of the silver celi.

Since the first picture I've installed a couple little things like a GReddy SP exhaust, Tein SS coilovers, and added Sirius satellite radio. Changes will be coming soon, so I figured I'd take some shots before any other mods go down.

First, teh old pic-

And Today-

Enjoy. smile.gif I suggest everyone enjoy the warmer weather and do the same. And thanks to my dad for taking some pretty nice shots, too.

Nice man

Word guy. biggrin.gif I'll see you Sunday. BTW Dustin, you have a PM.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I really like the way the drop makes the car look so much sportier than before, let alone the way it handles of course. And yes, I will possibly show even newer pics in the upcoming weeks with the upgraded look.

Next on my list of things to do is to get the exterior in order....dustin15brown, the dent you see on the door has been there since i bought the car unfortunately. Theres lots of cosmetic issues that are all going to be worked out very soon. After the exterior I'm finally putting some "go" in this thing.

But one step at a time for now.

I nearly couldnt spot the differences tongue.gif
I would be a set of coilovers for my car
in the near future.
How is the ride? I heard they are quite
hard for normal street use?
Is this true?

i got a 1.6" drop all around, i love it.

very clean looking car!!! i noticed that dent in the door too, when i bought mine as well, it looked as though someone went golfing against both sides of my car tongue.gif there were just little tiny dents all the way along, and all in a straight line, it looked terrible. But i got everything re-done and it's looking great now.

keep on doing what you're doing, looks awesome thumbsup.gif

They're pretty harsh at times, especially on heaved concrete or potholes, even on the softest setting. But all in all, its a serious performance upgrade and totally changes the character of the car 100%, you just have to be willing to sacrifice some comfort at times.

Thanks dude. Just to put your mind at ease, there will never be any body kits or anything gaudy for that matter.....its staying super clean as long as I own it.

Stay tuned for updates. wink.gif

Thanks guys, i appreciate it. I'm still warming up to the wheels, but i think they'll have nice contrast and break up all the silver nicely.

Hahaha...."Commer" shot. biggrin.gif

Thanks guys, I really do appreciate all the positive comments....especially since you guys all have sick cars yourselves. I gotta say though, I'm VERY happy with the way the car looks right now. It still needs new paint, but otherwise the exterior is almost done.
All these most recent shots were pretty illegal though, I was parked right in the middle of a new visitors center in the Delaware Water Gap that isn't even open to the public yet, but I did it anyway with a friend looking out for cops or nosey people. wink.gif Its a really incredible looking building and has very clean asphalt and the lighting is brand new, so I took advantage.


Art, you nailed it on the head. I used a tripod on my digi cam with low light mode.

dustinkemp, I just backed right up to the front entrance of the building, figuring it would make for a really dramatic photo. So its not really inside of it, but tucked back as far as I could into the front entrance.

j0e_p3t, you can get stock bumpers cheap, just talk to local members who replaced their bumpers with a kit, or put up a WTB if youre interested. I bought my bumper off Dustin (Batman722) but I don't really know how much for, I payed him all at once for a bunch of parts from him. He's the mother-effing man. thumbsup.gif

brianforster, the car rides really low now, I'd say its knocked off at least 3 inches, especially in the front. The stock wheels are almost starting to tuck into the front wheel wells....I love the way it looks. Not good for getting an accurate alignment though, but the handling is out of this world. Ride comfort isn't top notch, its definately stiff but you can adjust it to be relatively livable.


Thanks again guys. smile.gif
