Update on my 05 6MT DG Sedan
Haven't really posted anything on here in forever, but figured I may as well add a couple photos of my car while I have some downtime at work.
For me, I wanted to accomplish something I've wanted since I finished school:
1. Own a nice 4 door sedan
2. Lower it on a set of nice wheels
3. Add some boost
4. Keep it fairly tame, exterior-wise. I wanted something that wouldn't fall into the trends, but something that would be able to turn the right heads as the tide changes within the car scene.
On that note, I ended up adding a V2 Vortech to my Sedan, Deatschwerks 600cc injectors, Walbro 255lph fuel pump, NGK 1 step colder plugs, upgraded MAF, and UpRev for tuning, which was handled by Sean @ Church Automotive. Exhaust is handled by a pair of test pipes, along with a Motordyne XYZ and exhaust.
Along with the boost, a Wilwood 6/4 BBK, 19x8.5/9.5 +22/34 Volk TE37s on 245/35/19 and 265/35/19 were installed.
Inside, I was able to source a real clean pair of Evo X Recaros aka Recaro SR11 off my friend. Where the ashtray used to reside, a pair of Innovative wideband A/F and dual oil pressure/temperature gauges were installed.
I did all of my own installations, with the exception of the coilovers (which are going to be replaced in a couple months...currently doing research on which route I'm going).
Right now, I need to find time to install an external oil cooler a friend of mine gave me, swap out all bushing for urethane ones, and then save up some cash to build the bottom end to handle track duty. I also plan on dropping to a 2.87 pulley along with a 928 impellar In regards to underhood aesthetics...well, it's ugly. None of the polished bling others have. No wiretuck yet...nothing. Not sure if I'm going to go that route yet.
I'll add some photos on a subsequent post.

thanks for the comments everyone.
As for the front lip: I had the OEM front lip, but wasn't really too fond of it. Bought the lip back when Klumzyee was making them. Haven't really seen any other front lips and/or bumpers that I like.
Not a fan of clear corners or tinted taillights. Just my preference.
Seats: bought thm off a friend for $900, no tears, rips, etc. Sliders are the OEM Evo X rails with the mounts cut off. I used Planted brackets for driver and passenger sides.
