Default VJDM: Minor Makeover

last week Wa state had some of the wickedest weather in history. pounding rains, 75-80mph winds and of course street flooding. so as my luck seems to go, i end up hitting a LAKE on the hwy that was, no joke 8in deep. the problem being the my car sits about 4in off the ground. as you can imagine hitting this lake about 40mph is not good. my Amuse lip didnt fare so well. it was completely destroyed.

so i decided to do a little makeover for my s2. i wanted to go a different route on the car(ala IllRoller) and go for a more clean and simple look. so,

before:




after:
these are just some quick shots, right after a quick wash. i added APR mirrors/OEM lip. i know its not much of a change, but its still "under constuction" with new wheels/tint/new suspension all in the works.

so you couldnt get that lil ring around the mirrors off either? i'm in the same dilemma with that because i have those nasty rings left by the stock mirrors and its the only thing stopping me from putting my mirrors on...at least yours blends in with black

car looks good now, though i really liked the way it looked before wit the amuse lip

Mirrors looks great. I think clear headlights would really set it off.
