Yeah I emailed them directly and they never responded to me so I went with a J's shift knob but I was very interested in theirs. Yeah I'm a fan of the spherical knobs as well!

alright, fenders rolled front and rear. trimmed the front fender liner and relocated the bumper tab in the rear. next up is coilovers and a 1 1/2" or 2" drop. gone back and fourth a hundred times about which coils to get. would love to get something nice like ohlins or KW3 but hard to justify the cost. considering fortune auto 500 or ST on the lower end. i'll be on the track 6-10 times a year and daily driving as well. we'll see what i end up with...

Looks like the fender work was professionally done judging by the electric heat guns.

However I dislike the fact there is no jack stands. I pray no one was injured.

yeah, the guy was a pro. did a pretty clean job. he was a little expensive but worth it. i've had cheaper jobs done in the past and it wasn't pretty.

mods are coming slowly.... i need more money to waste on the car. put in an AEM V2 cold air intake. if i empty the trunk and there is a solid tail wind i'm getting about 1.5 extra horsepower. mostly it's the sound i'm after. love the deeper tone and distinct vtec crossover. was in a long tunnel and revving out to 9k the other night and the sound is awesome! never get tired of that. also got rid of the metal hose router thing in front of the intake manifold and cleaned up the vac, recirc, and coolant lines.

Looks awesome! It was really hard for me to mod my 2008 Berlina with just a couple thousand miles but in the end, I wanted a car like that so that I could customize and enjoy it the way I always envisioned and built from the ground up. Amazing job...I love that the shift knob is so low and really digging the black rims!

thanks, bud! yeah, i felt bad for like 5 minutes before i started modding mine. i plan to mod it, track it, daily it, take great care of it, and generally just enjoy the hell out of it!

anyway, just put coilovers on her the other day. company called Feal out of ontario, CA. tuned in my height and got an alignment today. more details to come. here's a teaser in the meantime:
