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.

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!
