I dont mine the oem American rear, i just wish they had an exhaust port. So when you do get another larger exhaust it could go there instead of hanging underneath.

True, I just feel like the JDM rear end is a little more aggressive looking because of the lines and rear reflectors. But seriously though, I **** how the exhaust hangs underneath. I plan on doing a straight pipe though so it should be sleeker.

I also added a HD lip, from Lowes lol. Pretty easy install, the worst part was jacking my car up on each side to make sure it's secure with self tapping screws.

Wheels are finally on! JNC 004 in polished finish, 16x8.5 +25 wrapped in 195/45s.






Still have some fender work to do to minimize rubbing, go -5 in the rear with camber shims, and get shorter stiffer springs to get tighter fitment. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks everyone!

Looks cool.

Looks cool.

Thanks man!

More pics! The front pokes out a bit more, I don't know why. I installed camber bolts in there (one on each side) but I don't really notice the -1.5. I'll probably add one more on each side. The front passenger side is also a little higher than the front driver side. I still gotta adjust ride height and get fenders rolled before I take it to get aligned. Right now I am saving up for -5 camber shims for the rear (which will hopefully space the rear out a little more to make it even at least), as well as 10k/8K Swift springs. These 6k/3k springs aren't going to work for me for long lol. JNC center caps are on as of right now as well. Hope you guys like the pics! Sorry for the phone quality haha.

[TerenceJCruz]

Random phone pics, haha.

Fronts always poke more in FWD cars. More camber in the rear will make the wheels look more sunk than they do already. I think your car looks good as-is, maybe add a 5mm spacer in the rear to even the poke out and call it a day.

Ahh.. Yeah that makes sense. I'll probably add a tad bit more camber in the front then by adding another camber bolt on each side. I had 10mm spacers in the rear but I had to remove them to drive without rubbing. Once I get a legit roll job I will probably be able to throw em back on. But then again, the camber shims I was planning on getting actually space the wheels out since they are hubcentric spacers, so I guess we'll see haha.
