Hey guys!, hows everything?. I just joined the forum this morning and havn't gotten a chance to post anything yet. Anyways, ive been lurking around vortex for a while now, just to see what all the buzz was about, and for the most part... i like what i see :D . Speaking of which, I drive a black 20th and can't describe how awesome it is. To me anyways.. I'm already well on my way with the car, however there's still ALOT that needs doing, especially with the stance. So i figured a good way to sort of "break the ice" here; is to post a few pictures of my baby :p... Please let me know what you guys think, as i am open to any suggestions you may have.

Looks pretty good. Is the front higher than the rear? Gotta fix that ****. Also, is that the stock front bumper? It looks pretty close to stock but there are a few little differences... I like the smoked banana lights :thumbup:

Edit: What number is it?

Nope, the suspension hasn't been touched. I've got a Sub in the trunk, along with an amp and a fairly heavy enclosure which may have lowered the back a bit. The bumper is stock.. the only difference is the air ducts i put in place of the stock inserts just to get better airflow to the intake. And i had to butcher the hell out of the inside of the bumper so the intercooler would fit :p .. The lights i bought recently, the stock ones stuck out like a sore thumb :thumbdown:

Cheers:beer:, i'm going to prep the front end over the winter and then get the bumper and hood repainted in the spring. Stone chips + black car is no fun :(

yeah for sure man, the day i bought the car i wanted to dump it... but a whole lot of other things came first i.e."K04, Samco tubing, DV, short shifter, Full 2.5" exhaust, DP, clutch, intake, gauges, APR software" long story short, ran out of $$$ and just never got around to it :( .... im worried that ill need to remove my front sway just to be able to go low. And from what i understand ill need at least 5mm spacers all around.

5mm all around won't help the rear much, try maybe 10-15mm for the rear. After suspension goes on of course :laugh:

The car looks good and it's a good start! Just fill the hood notch and maybe a different grill(IMO not a fan of those grills). Other wise the 20th looks great, keep that paint looking clean.:thumbup:

yeah 15mm is what i was thinkin, I've seen people do 20's with aristo's but that's really chancing it. Any idea on how big of a spacer i could do in the front? Either way, i don't mind the grill too much. eventually i would like something different but it's not on the top of my list atm, otherwise thanks for the input, CANT WAIT till i get the front end painted... but will definitely post some pics of it lowered soon :D
