Default Before and After shots of my car

Posted some of these pictures about 3 months ago, when I first got it:
Before:






This is what it looks like now. Disclaimer: I'm quite possibly the worst photographer in the world. Would love to have someone in the Nova area take some semi-pro pics for me some time.









I changed the front bumper to a Turbo bumper w. oem aerokit lip, added GT2M wing, added oem cup kit sideskirts, changed wheels to 19in iForged Monacos, oem smoke sidemarker, and some other little things. Most importantly, had a serious professional paint correction/detailing done.

I changed the front bumper to a Turbo/4S bumper, added Misha GT2M wing, added oem sideskirts, changed wheels to 19in iForged Monacos, got rid of the pumpkins, and some other little things. Most importantly, had someone give it a serious paint correction/detailing.

And yes, I know... Needs to be lower!!! (Bilstein PSS10s or KWv3s are next on the ever-growing list).

Enjoy!

Huge to redridge for selling me those wheels! Thanks man, I really like them~

And the detailing took my guy 2 days. The hologramming on the car from the previous owner was ridiculous, almost comedic.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Great looking car and don't sell yourself short on the pics, they came out great. The black wheels look fantastic!

Looks very very nice! When you drop it it's going to look even better. That detail job is Amazing. I've been wanting to do mine for a while but I just haven't found anyone I trust here in Sacramento yet.

Great project, and well worth what ever it cost. I want to lower and get some black wheels for mine also. Looks great!
