Yeah i finally finished this thing body wise. I want to Lower the rear a little more and buy bigger calipers for the brakes. New Tires and a thicker sway-bar and pan-hard rod. Then i want to give this thing some power, lets face it N/A's have nothing exiting you want to have a nice looking car but it has to have a little bit of grunt to stand up for. So i'm leaning towards a Rajab Racing N/A Stage 2 Kit. Maybe do even more work with the ECM and a little more to the internals as i want to have a strong ground for when i put a turbo kit on this thing down the road. I want a legal car that cant get picked on for anything. Strong and Safe.
