Any chance the pics can be embedded? I'd love to see them, but I'm afraid that I'm still a little two new. As soon as I have some better pics to show off (hopefully this weekend) I'll join in on the fun!

Absolutely gorgeous! There's no way I could get away with that stance here, too many uneven roads. It's awesome to see what we can do with these.

exexpat-you alone have changed my opinion of black being the only way to go. Now I am hesitant to post pics of mine up. I have done a little work on it, but I have only had it for a couple of weeks, but you guys really are getting me excited to mod and my wife really nervous! lol! Se wasn't sure she would like the mods I have done already, but after they were done, even though they were small ones, she really liked it!

The only pics I have today are the ones from when I picked it up at the dealer, but I plan on getting some more, artistic, pics this weekend, and I'll be sure to post them up. I may not be a kid anymore, but I sure feel like it. I'm proud of my car, even though it is bone stock.

Sothernjag, please post your pics. I'd love to see them!

I just might this summer. Dump the wife to shop and we can play with the cars. I'll fill the back with parts. I REALLY want your PC radio.

Did you manage to keep control on the steering wheel? I imagine it's a slick Bluetooth solution right!

I really like the yokohoma parada spec-2 tires I have on the car. They do have good grip. The wheels and tires in the pics are my "summer wheels". I use the stock 17inch rims for winter. So far they are holding up great for me. Had them for about 4 summers now (if i remember right).
