Well it was time for some changes after the car basically stayed in the same state for 2+ years.
I wanted to update the front end of the car to match my GP Sports side skirts and rear add ons, and after seeing W!SEGUY's berlina I fell in love with the Amuse R1 front bumper and hood. That car is one of my biggest inspirations!
Unfortunately, I'm not as baller as he is, so I had to settle for some replica parts, so, I picked up a Shine version of the Amuse R1 from krnmike and Seibon VSII hood which is the Amuse replica from Evasive.
I also picked up an ASM 08 Antenna from Tommy at Go Tuning Unlimited.
Ever since I've owned the car I've wanted to be lower, so after a lot of research on what I wanted out of a suspension setup, I decided to get rid of the Skunk2 springs that were on my OEM struts and go to a BC Racing coilover setup from Riley at RIJO Engineering.
I also picked up some new lugs from Go Tuning as well, some black Ray's Dura-nuts and a brand new set of Falken RT-615's in 255 40 & 225 45 17's from a local supplier.
Now that I had the aero and footwork setup proper, it was time for some comfort in the interior.
I picked up an ARC Titan TI shift knob from an S2KI member, as well as a GT Design black leather with red stitching hand brake to match my Rick's shift boot and console cover.
I also picked up some functional bling for under the hood. A J's Racing engine torque dampener from red@9k.
Lastly, after going through 3 different axles, I picked up a set of custom built ones from an S2KI member, completely rebuilt with upgraded parts.
This is a photoshop I created (from a picture of Costas' car) to see what the parts I've been installing will look like a long the way before I buy them. Other than the hardtop, I've reached my goal.
I want to give a huge shout out to all the S2KI members and sponsors who I have dealt with over the past few months while accumulating all these parts. You guys have been a huge help and it really makes this a great community to be a part of!
