iheartzombies Progression Thread | New Pictures Pg. 23!
Figured I'd start one of these since it's the kewl thing to do.
I picked up my tC Last August I think it was. Had to order it because the lot didn't have any standards. Brand new 2009 Flint Mica tC. Only options I added on were the floormats and the lip kit.
Already had Tein Basic coilovers waiting for her, as well as 07 Headlights and tail lights :D
Only stock pics I have:
Waited for some good weather, then threw on the Tein Basics.
Half finished!
All the way!
Decided to do a proper photoshoot with the new suspension.
Next I picked up the HKS Hi Power from a friend who used to own a tC. He sold it to me for 250 bucks and it looked almost new!
Decided the Basics weren't low enough, so I removed some perches. :D
Finally decided the Basic's weren't cutting it, so I scooped up some B&G RS2 coilovers brand spankin' new! How excited I was that day lol.
Tried to do another proper photoshoot but the weather sucked again.
Got a Megan short shifter, as well as doc-i's cable bushings. Made shifting actually fun in the tC.
Another overcast photoshoot! This time I wanted to show off my new tint. 30% sides, 15% rear glass.
Few weeks ago I finally found some wheels that I liked for a nice price, so I ordered them! Got a great deal online for a set of Enkei EKM3's and 215/40 Nankangs for $990 shipped.
I finally got them in today, but one of the wheels needs to be rebalanced because the balance weights came off in shipping.
So I'm going to goodyear tomorrow morning to get the one wheel rebalanced, then I can throw them on...
I did test fit one tonight though, hehehe. Fit perfect and I love the way they look on FM. I don't have to raise the car at all, I might even lower the front a little more!
Some pics, sorry for the iphone quality!
That's it for now.
Once I get the shoes on, I'll do another photoshoot with my DSLR!

Thanks all
Yeah I was so worried about the wheels not looking right, but I love them, exactly what I wanted...
I might paint them a crazy color in the future!
dodaddy; thanks!!! Yours is forever the sickest though!!!

Tanks d00ds.
Future mods I'd like for the exterior are a full OEM style third brake light, and some baller lugs.
Funny story, I got some black Work RS lugs from a guy used for 50 bucks, but for some reason he thought he had 24 when he really only had 19 (bought a set to replace one that messed up).
Neither of us caught the mixup and I had to send them back for a refund
So I want to order some neo chrome or black lugs, just don't know which to get and/or if I want open end or closed. The cheapie chrome lugs they sent look alright though.

Plus I sold the newer headlights for 400 bucks which gave me a nice wad of spending money.
I'd love some project kics checho! But damn... 200 dollar lugs... They'd cost more than one of my wheels LOL.

To be honest if they made gold, I would have gotten them in gold, but I really like this stealth look, it's clean. Plus everyone with a FM is doing gold rims now a days.
