Yeah I haven't seen yours either. We should do an IE meet in Redlands. Me and my brother would roll for sure. I've seen a few around, but when I do I'm in one of my other cars.

I love this setup, you just convinced me to buy the OEM rear bumper garnish

Car went through lots of changes to compete and win at some of the bigger shows at the time. It wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but all the parts and work was legit, didn't cut any corners each time I re-worked the car.

Today I changed over my 2010 wheels for the newer 2012 style. I think the dark finish goes better with the car's black body. Below are the before and after pictures. BTW, if anyone in the Massachusetts area is interested in the 2010 wheels PM me.

Original 2010 Wheels (These will be going up for sale soon - PM me)

1SickVeilsideZ, can I get a good side shot of the car? I want to see how low the rear lip hangs vs the side skirts! Thanks

Pretty damn good. I know my 16" TEs are a little over 11 lbs apiece w/o tire, so maybe in the 15 lb neighborhood with tires. Yours are 17" tho so 18 seems pretty damn good. Go better handling!

With the new springs the handling is transformed! Springs are slightly stiffer but not as crashy as the standard set up an far more comforable, Go figure! Be interesting to see how things go In the wet, previously when pushing on I'd a few hairy moments with the back starting to step out
