Lol, that pic in front of the house looks like 1/2 the houses in my neighborhood.

The door handles are subtle, like it.

Any pics of the custom exhaust tips?

Those chrome doorhandles look way better than I would've anticipated, not necessarily my style, but they do tie in nicely with the wheels!

Crappy quick pic of the exhaust.



They are two 4" pieces welded together to make a y pipe. Not terribly stoked on the burned blue finish. It's stainless underneath, so I might use steel wool on them if I ever get too tired on them. I do like a little bit of color, though.

I definitely wouldn't have ever thought of chrome handles but I do think they bring out the wheels nicely!

Just a few updates on the ST!

Decided to visit some friends in Myrtle Beach, SC for Panda Junction. Last minute, decided to enter the showcase and somehow got in! This was my first time ever showing my car, and it wasa a total blast.



We didn't win anything, but it was so awesome to have my car in the showcase! I met another woman with a stancey mini. I've really enjoyed meeting other women in the stance scene. I've even met a few who own bagged STs! For the most part, everyone is pretty nice.



Came home and about a week later, Ben surprised me with some chrome door handles for the ST. If you've seen his old mazda build, it had chrome door handles, too! We decided to channel the old mazda and add some bling to the ST.



I also got some more exhaust work done. A while back, I had the muffler deleted and had this awful awful drone at high speeds on the highway. Finally got the resonator deleted, and it seemed to help the drone a lot. Also got some custom welded exhaust tips (which I'm still deciding if I like or not). Eventually (maybe) I'll get a full catback exhaust, but for now, just going with this.

Also, have some side skirts en route from Strafe Design. I also have a few other goodies in the works for the ST, but I'm trying not let my eye wander to buying a little project car ha. I have so much I want to do to the ST still, but I'm also trying to not to go broke doing it haha. I'm learning how to enjoy the car as it is now, but I feel like I keep looking to the next thing and next thing I want to do.

Oh, also!

We will be at Slammedenuff NC in May! I can't believe we managed to get in for the showcase. I'm so excited!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and taking them time to read our story and my build thread!

Cool car and cool story! Can't wait to see the car continue to progress, any ideas as to what is next on the mod list?

Thank you so much!

Exhaust definitely! I've been looking at the AWE track exhaust because I love the aggressive rumble. Just have to be careful because these cars drone like a beehive!

I'm thinking a rear diffuser and front lip, as well. Not sure yet, though!
