All good
Pretty cool, esp. in contrast to IP. Surprised that no one's asked yet but what kind of springs did you end up using. Drop looks nice.
H&R

car look sick... first sedan i seen with a clean drop like that.
Thanks

Not a fan of full black wheels. It looks good with a polished lip.

Powercoating is sort of like painting but the material is different and then it is heated in an oven to make it extra hard and get a better adhesion.

My God, that is a true beauty. I am really starting to get upset. I wish they would have made the front of the new coupe look more like this, especially from the side. I love it.

I left the car there for about 2 1/2 - 3 days.

I was going to buy new rims but I dunno what came over me...

I still might buy some in a few months or so

With the sun on the top of the car and the black rims hidden in the shadows it almost looks like your car is on jack stands with no tires.

the $300 for powdercoating, did that include the unmounting, remounting, and balancing of the tires?
where in GG did you get that done?

That sh.it looks super JDM. Now you need some dark tint, black grill, black emblems, and black headlights housings (painted inside) and your sh.it will be off the heezy

The idea is good, but you really can't see the wheels.

A black painted wheel with a polished lip would look 100x better.
