Got me some Bridgestone Potenza RE760 summer tires at today's sale at Firestone, and they did my alignment (have a lifetime) while I was there.
Then I drove home and replaced my front brake pads with some temp ones cause I was at bare metal on the front passenger side, so I'll be ordering some brembo/stoptech blank rotors if I need them and EBC greenstuffs front pads this week and I'll re-do the brake job in full and see if I can't get some DOT4 fluid in there while I'm at it.

haha, I guess so, with none of the rear interior pieces installed there is so much cabin noise, omg.
my rear passenger tire rubs on cornering and my god is it demonic and loud in there, I need to shave that bumper down or something, ugh.

not the best pics but at least show people that IT LIVES!!!! ...although in a very noisy state atm...anyways thought I would go get some pics really quick but of course it was raining so sorry for the quality but this is my attempt at being artsy in the rain:
So to summarize whats new:
-18x7.5 +30 Volk TE37s in 225/40r18s
-red Corbeau 4-point harnesses w/ pads in red
-2zero6 factory license plate pegs
-custom rear under panel (prob can't see)
-Agency power exhaust, although will be removing shortly...
Still have a bunch to go on but gotta fix some stuff first.

Sitting on Tein S-techs finally. Got it done today at my brothers shop. He helped a little, but I did most of it myself. Hands, back , and neck are killing me now, lol. Arms will be the problem tomorrow. Still another project to do, but it will wait until the weather is nicer. I'll post pics of the difference after they settle.

Kanchi it is looking great.....you was busy.....I loved the sneek peeks......wheels turned out sweet....
Robbie.......how low di it drop it...or supposed to once it settles....should be sexy.....
I didn't get too much done today...got doors deadened and some cheap Poineer 6.5s in the doors...panels wont fit on though because hte rings I used are a bit to tall on two corners....but I will jsut run without panels till I get all my CF work done and pods built....
So who else got some work done in the nice grey Washington skies......

holy **** Erik! you car looks sick! i like how you incorporated the red/black on the inside as well as the back. definitely a very clean car. those wheels sure came out great to! oh and tint you windows! it looks weird that you have almost everything else modded and yet your windows have stock tint.
will this be at ur house when i come over next weekend? i wanna see this beast in person!

For sure dude!! Hopefully can get it figured out early this week.
Thanks!! :D I had to go with more red this year for more "pop"...was just hoping it wasnt too much. Hoping to get everything right early thus coming week, just git to swap out the exhaust...again. As far as the windows...was going to stay with the fishbowl look, at least until stereo.

Lookin' really good man, although your red harnesses reminded me I bought your black ones and I have to add that to my 'how much have you spent on your tC thread' omg.
I'm going to keep with the FM w/ gold accents this year, hopefully gold IC piping/turbo-blanket and gold harness bar and strut bars and other suspension bracing stuff, I think that'd be epic.
I need to order the rear-trunk brace thing and a c-pillar bar and endlinks for the rear (stripped a nut on one of mine, lol THOR RAWR!)
