Finally after having the car for almost 2 years, I've decided to start a build thread. A little background story of the car.

After looking around for a while, I finally found one about 4 hours away from me. Luckily he was willing to meet halfway so it was only 2 hours. This was two months before graduating college, and I didn't know how i was going to afford it. But, that didn't stop me. I picked it up anyway.

Bought it in March 2014. She's a 2002 Berlina Black, had 82k miles when i bought it. Came with a Greddy SE dual exhaust and K2 Coilovers. Everything else was stock.

im sure im missing a few things..

Condition of the car was really rough, seemed like the previous owner didn't take care of it at all.
I gave her a nice detail and took off the eyelids.

50/50


Shot of trunk after detail



I knew this car wasn't going to stay stock for long. One of the first things I got was a Shine Auto ASM Rep front bumper with CF Lip.



This thing was too low with stock wheels so I picked up a set of BBS LM Reps..


Thought it looked funny with just the front, so I a pair of WASP composites side diffusers.




Found a good deal on a CF Shine Spoon rep rear diffuser.



That's how she looked for the rest of the year. Then in 2015 I got a new set of wheels.



Dipped the wheels purple



Then this happened


Will update this build when I get the chance.

Nice progress so far, how was the bumper fitment for you? It looks like it fits really well did it take alot of work to get to fit nicely?

Nice! Off to a good start, what are your power goals with the new turbo setup?

it was on point... no work at all. But I also bought it off a member on here and i'm not sure how much work he had to do if he had any.
