These are going to look SICK! like you said though if it was a tad bit lighter it would be even better but thats still great

[Mindz]

Well my buttons for the center console piece done in carbon fiber should be arrive within the next few days, so I'll be posting up a diy on how to swap out the 4 pack gauge bezel.

I'm going to try and find a low profile jack and jackstands so I can swap out my brake calipers too.

Those should pop rowdy!! Been trying to get some of the IBM Guys out here to go IOM on them too.

IOM looks killer on IOM and Black cars....this will too!!

IOM is too dull for me unless it's sunny out. The orange looks like a washed out red on an overcast day. I wanted something that would pop if any light hit it, hence SOM. I need to find some cool looking fonts today since I have the color scheme down already.

pictures of car with iom calipers on yet?

[Mindz]

Calipers are Sunset Orange Metallic, not IOM.

Car was dropped off to have the Rideskinz bumper fit to the car. It seems that the bumper was created from a mold that was built around a seibon carbon hood and doesn't fit with my hood very well. I pick the car up next friday, right in time to take it directly to Bakersfield for our annual state meet. The following week I will have my calipers installed. Pics will come then.

As an update, I'm making a list to cross off as I complete things. Below is what I am going to do and what I would like to do to "finish" the car before xmas.

Brake calipers installation
Stainless Steel Braided brake line installation
SMD Strip and 2 single LED interior lighting installation
Pedders Street Z kit
Lower grill
Carbon fiber door panels that retain the ambient lighting
Rear footwell lighting
Gauage overlays from Ivan@Southwest Speed
Color changing halos
Wired switch for DRL's
Wired switch for color changing halos
Switchplate installation(see below)

Switchplate configuration
1: DRLs
2: Halos
3: Interior/footwell lighting

Wanted mods:
Engine cover customization
New wheels
Upper grill
Vented fenders with RGB lighting

If you haven't found a low profile jack yet, harbor freight actually has a great one and the lowest I've seen. It even fits under my car and the nose of it is long as well to get to the hard to reach jack points for lowered vehicles. Definitely pick one up man, and the price is relatively cheap. Here's the link:

Good luck with the new mods bud, you'll love them especially the lighting and engine cover customization. The calipers look badass, and the paint is sharp as hell. I'll check back often. Also, luckily, my new bumper is ready for pickup and I can take it to get prepped and painted. Unfortunately, my car will be so damn low that I won't be able to make it up my driveway :(. I need to beg an airbag company for sponsorship hahaha. That's my only way I can get an airbag set-up .

Talk to you soon!

Sorry to hear about your driveway. Have you checked out bridjit ramps? I'm planning on getting them as soon as we can get our house.

You may be able to talk to Solomon Lee at Exotic Air. They make a system called "lifters". It fits at the top of the coilover, and allows for up to 3" of lift. See below

[JusticePete]

We have them installed on a show car. I'll be meeting with them at SEMA.
