  • From Rice to Riches

    Hey guys got my Si back in october but it had a bunch of things I didn't like't it and it was so ricey, but my friend works at the dealership so he hooked it up. It was mostly aesthetics so I knew I could change everything and I figured I'd share the process with you guys.

    How my car sits now.



    How I purchased the car.





    I felt it was appropriate since I had to ride around with this for a little bit.



    First thing I did was take off the hideous unpainted lip kit.



    Got a muffler, it had this thing on it and I purchased a stock one.





    Painted the wheels back to silver.





    Got rid of the tinted tails and removed red side stickers.





    Got some OEM badges, it's persomal preference I just don't like how they go with the car's color.





    Took off the yellow fogs and installed clear fogs.





    Rolled my fenders to get ready for some nice wide wheels and installed my coilovers.





    As it sat on 03/14/2012





    Red tail overlays came in the mail!



    03/22/12

    17x9.5 +25 Advan RGII'S wrapped on falken 512's 215/40's













    Took care of the calipers.

    Before



    After



    Also doing the spoiler less look



    04/01/12 lowered it a bit more



    This is my subframe



    And finally got the headlights cleared.





    Here are a couple before and after shots





    And added gold oem stickers back on to match the wheels:



    Added a go mod for the track 04/29/12




    And lastly some proper updated pics of the car:

    The general style discussion forum, as well as a place to post your car, or any car for that matter.






    Thank you for checking it out I still have some plans for a more suitable/painted lip at least and other small stuff so I will be adding to the thread as I go along.
