All I know is that this car is frickin gorgeous. I'm still uncertain on whether I will drop my car or not. I need to focus on new tires ATM. Tempted to shell out abit more cash and buy a set of ff7's. I gotta have some work done to the body of my car first tho >_< ugh damn assholes and shopping carts. I love your rims tho , they just dont seem my style.

Sheeeez!!!

Had to read through all the bickering just to find out if the rims are mentioned!
E Hoba - Your car is Ayoba! (Google that shit!)
I would love to know the size and make of the rims if you don't mind.
That drop is outragious! Would dare to try it on our roads though.

Well done!:cool:

Nobody told me how to size my wheels, how wide I could go, or what offset to use. I had to do the math myself, hope for the best, and dial in my camber to where I could fit things with just the right roll/pull to the fenders. Nobody told me if the lip and spoiler I chose would fit. Nobody told me how to get these coilovers to the ride height I wanted, but I digress.

I doubt hot rodders had a forum back in the day to get all the answers. In fact back then nobody would say a word about how they built their cars or what they had in them. That's what being truly unique is all about.

i have one question that im sure u wont answer, but if ur in KC why does ur car have korean plates on it
 
#67 ·
I'm glad you asked. I had the Korean plate made for me. I thought it was fitting because it is a Korean war plate made for US forces vehicles that were occupying Korea at the time of the war. I thought it was kind of fitting since the rolls are reversed now (korean cars occupying the US, get it?) It's kind of a joke.

Thanks. Maybe take a look at WRX wagon spoilers or even the older GC impreza wagons? You never know, they might just fit with a bit of work.

The rear window spoiler is really different, never would have thought of it, i like it!
Thanks, just wanted to be different.

Holy shit, this thread is lols. OP, your stance is on point.

You know what everyone needs? A fucking aggressive drop, good offsets, and a little stretch. Otherwise a god damn spoiler will NOT help your lame econobox look like a "tuner" car. I hate that everyone calls each other tuners here when most of the mods are stupid light bulb swaps, tints, or different colored trim pieces. Or springs.

Wow!!! more pics please!

Thanks for the positive comments everyone.

I just moved into a new place and hopefully I'll have the new garage squared away enough to share some snaps of the car in it's new home this weekend. I keep my camera & tripod in the car too since you never know when a photo op will present itself.

It looks like a ford focus coupe spoiler.
