Ok so its been a while since I have been able to get on here but here is some pics.

HID Install



My back Valance (Sorry its crooked pick)
I am going to be getting this vinyled soon either in flat black like it is or a custom design that i have in mind


Got a banner for my crew and you can see my VG Shark fin


Here she is sitting at wekfest Hawaii this past weekend (Oh and you can kind of see my white calipers)


And now I am really saving toward an air ride kit since I cracked my lip on the roads here in Hawaii and I am not even as low as I want to go so I think air will save me money in the long run.

Thanks man and me too haha I cant wait to get bags. I know a lot of guys hate on bags and say to keep it static and what not but I really want to go lower and at my cars height now I scrape a lot already since the roads are so bad here and I have friends that are static and lower then me and there cars get worked by the roads so I decided bags are for me especially since my girlfriend and family sometimes have to use my car too itʻll save he headaches.

And here is the new grill. Garage Vary Grill


Now I just need moar LOW...

So been way to busy lately and have not done much to my car or posted on this site. Figured I would post a little update on this.

Have not done much recently except snap my lip...but not to bummed as I put in my order for Air suspension and should be getting all my stuff around xmas. Looks like I will be bagged by the end of the year and ready for some shows.

So havenʻt updated this in a long while once again. I never really have time but here has whats been going on with the car for people who look at my build from time to time.

First I donʻt think I posted a shot of the GV Grill so...


Anyway that's been on for a while so onto what is happening now...

False Floor status!!!



So I got everything for my air suspension and all the wires are and airlines are in I am just trying to finish up this false floor before I drop the struts in and connect it all up. I cant wait till this things on the ground.

Yea the bag process has taken me some time but i can officially say I am bagged now...well atleast in the front haha.

Anyway I was able to finish up my false floor, This is how it came out but I also built a cover for the spare tire that is not shown in the pic.


After I got that done I was able to install my front struts so as of right now just my front is bagged until next weekend when I have more time to instal the rears.

My tank leaks from my pressure switch so I have to re-seal that today but that's minor and a easy fix and I will also get some picks of where my airlines were ran for a better update!

Thanks man, yea bags are an awesome feature to have a good majority of the slammed cars here in Hawaii run bags because the roads are so crappy. I would for sure look into them if the roads in your area are bad too.

where did you get your gv grill from?
I think Nextmod if I remember correct its a rep one they make and you have to email or call them specifically to order one since its not on their site...the quality is "ok" and it was a hassle to instal but I am looking into picking up a real one from japanparts.com at some point down the line though

So clean. Can the rears be spacer'd out another 2-3mm to match the fronts?
Its a possibility but right now my plan was to tuck rim in the rear and then sit it flush on the lip up front but because of the pinch weld frame piece that sits right above the front tires I could not go as low as I wanted, so I guess I could run spacers until I get that done, but after I notch or something up front to get it lower I would remove them to tuck or pulling my fender more too that would always work. I will have to play around with it and figure out all the options.



One more of the car from OffsetKings Hawaii

Yea the lamin-x overlays were good I liked them and my fogs have been holding up awsome with no problems. I got it from lamin-x website and for my interior pieces I am not sure where I got the vinyl it was probably just off ebay or something I pulled it all though and just have painted trim pieces now.
