Looks fantastic Rodel.
Each time I see your car, it always inspires and motivates me to get my black one rolling again. Mine has been on indefinite stay in my garage, poised on jack stands for the last ~6yrs.

One step at a time, Devil. First, get your car off the jack stands.

Such an improvement over the last set of wheels IMO.. It looks amazing now, show stopping quality.

The more I see of your car however, the more I realize how hard it would be to pull of the ABF sideskirts and rears without serious fitment and a well thought out front end.

Love the new wheels!

Would you consider selling the car for the right price? I'm looking on perhaps importing a car from US.

Is it possible to have a desktop wallpaper of this or this photo? :) If you have the originale file I could edit it my self (2560x1440)

Just looking at the front end and shuddering.. lol. I had a Corolla back in the 80's that I had created a front dam on that would hit the road if I turned to fast and pop out my fenders. (got good at fixing it...)
Do you lower your car a bit for the shows or actually drive at that height?

Ohhhh...so u didn't like my Volk Racing GTS.

These HRE wheels were my first set of wheels. Now that u know the combo to make the abflug kit look good, its not hard to pull it off.

The "right" price is not easy to determine. I'll try to get high resolution pics.

The grass makes my car look that low...but I do drive the car at the height u see in other pics.

What are those hood pins/clips btw. I haven't been able to find them or find any comment about them. They give a far far better shaved looked than the old-style pins.

The hood locks are called Aerocatch

How long till the single is on?

The manifold is being built (again) right now. I want it on, ASAP, but I'm thinking about allocating money for a summer vacation first. So hopefully the turbo will be on sometime before 2012. Here's a possibility that I've been eying: gold dipped compressor housing.
