It looks right! Car color and wheel combination looks great.

Have you had it aligned already? Looks like you're running a lot of rear camber, unless that was the goal.

Thanks! So far I've only just tooled around the block to get a feel for the damping, so far it rides like it's on brand new suspension. After 100k miles what a feeling!

The rears can drop another inch, the front probably a little less. I'm thinking to raise it just a touch.

Hi Petza, I have not. The rear camber is a bit excessive, I'll be having the alignment done this weekend to preserve tire longevity.

That’s what I meant, how much room do you have to go up, since you mentioned you thought it was too low. Car looks great, tho. Very clean!

Nothing big today but got AC cabin filter and engine air filter changed. Cleaned engine bay. Then saw the exhaust tips. So want SOUL carbon tips but for now did a little cleaning of them and came out way better then expected. Not bad for 15 years old.

Sorry I didn't answer this before, the exhaust tips are Fabspeed quad tips in carbon. Fabspeed made me a mounting shim that lets me attach them to the small-diameter 3.6L exhaust pipe.

Looks like a new car and also looks like meteor grey. And I think I see GT2 bucket seats inside so is that an -09 launch C4S by chance? Had one just like it minus the wing and the roll bar which you obviously added no matter which model car. Wheels kind of look like the black HRE P40's I had too. Great looking car.

Installed BC coilovers to achieve a very mild drop. I suspect I'll lower the front a little more, but I'll do a few miles and revisit the ride height before an alignment. Overall, they feel pretty good at 11 clicks from full soft. Tight handling but not harsh at all. Popped in a set of color crest center caps as well just to try em out.

Speaking of Soul carbon tips, they are beautiful and a perfect compliment to the 997.

Default Installed retro emblem!

Replaced the original worn out crest with the retro orange stripped one, easy install and I like the new look, it was also holding a lot of dirt behind it.
