    So I have been debating on a new set of wheels and tires, and I finally made a decision.

    Coilovers or lowering springs? Still deciding....

    Yeah I was actually looking into those. They had those available for my choice of wheels, but only for 17"s, and I want 18s.

    oh yeah, just as you requested, i posted a new thread with more pics of the rrm turbo and a few good videos.

    well, the Pzero Rosso is the equal variant for 18" rims if i'm not mistaken.

    So I bought and installed my pzeros last week and i HIGHLY recommend them. The comfort on these are way better than stock and they grip very well.

    Coilovers. And also great tire and wheel choices. Though I'd suggest BFG or Goodyear before Kumho.

    I finally got myself a spoiler that I will be installing after paint. It's not a decent photo, but just a small shot of the spoiler after being wet sanded and primered.

    I'm going for a rally red & black color scheme, so the spoiler will be black, but might change my mind go for a satin black.

    note, the spoiler is not painted by rattle cans :D I will post more pics when painting begins.

    Spiderman671 progress - *7/19/08* - GTS Spoiler Installed

    Well I finally got the GTS spoiler installed. Next will be the carbon fiber trunk lid and hood. And future plan would be to get a body kit and get the roof painted black... maybe.

    lol... I'm saving for the body kit too. Which one you planning on getting? I'll let you know how the CF trunk lid goes. I just a need a couple more money so I can also place a order for the hood and trunk at the same time.



    Thanks... I just painted it satin black. I'm going to get the CF trunk lid, so it would really match well.
