The car looks mint, love how it coming along so far with the type s lip and drop.
The lights look better than I thought they would, but the top portion does throw me off a little bit.

Yea, I was kinda weary about replacing the headlights with those. However, my stock OEM headlights were all yellow and scratched. I decided to go with these for the simple fact that DEPO makes a quality headlight. You wouldn't believe the difference it makes going from a scratched/yellowed headlight to new headlights. I couldn't find OEM replacements for the price I got those from Ebay, so I just decided to upgrade to projectors.

Ya, new headlights make one heck of a difference. I just recently bought some DEPOs for mine. I got the black housing OEM ones for 186 + shipping on eBay. Excellent buy.


You CBM is looking great, best color ever

Thanks for the compliments. When I bought it, I was like this thing kinda looks like a chick's car. So I had to do something about the stock look! I saw this lip setup on a EBP Lude and loved it. The front matches the sides perfectly and the OEM rear lip actually sits level with the bottom of the sides and front.

forgive my noobness but your car isn't dropped much if any right? If it is, what type of suspension are you running?

I am running Koni Yellows with Tein H-Tech springs. It is the smallest drop I have seen, with springs and shocks.

sorry for so many questions, but how many inches is the drop (front & back)? is your setup a set height or is it adjustable? your stance and overall look are awesome for a not too far from stock look..love it.

As for the sides, yes they can be painted, many people have done it and I think their might be a write up on it as well.

The stock look was exactly what I was going for. Better handling, small drop and near stock conformity. The drop is about .75" front and .9" rear. Tein claims .7 and .8 I believe but mine was a little more. The height is somewhat adjustable, as I have the Koni Yellow shocks. They have little slots on them with a C-clip that you can raise and lower the coil buckets. As of right now, I can't go lower in the front with my current springs because it is already on the lowest slot, but the rear can go a bit lower, but I don't want that!
