Keep up the good work and go with a SIR front lip and leave in black.

You should find some SIR corners too!

He also got me these babies

Hopefully I can install them tomorrow, and I'll try to get pics of the new corners ASAP!

Only problem I have with them is that one of the 2 screws for the covers can't reach the plastic thing that it needs to screw into, and I think the lights don't have enough clearance behind the bumper, so I had to muscle it back on, leaving an odd gap between the bumper and fender that I can stick my thumb between. But I guess that's what comes from OEM styled aftermarket parts :lol: .

Just recently, my new fogs stopped working, and upon inspection of all the wiring, it looks as if the wires were too thin of a gauge and fried themselves. I'm not sure if it was a good thing that it happened in the engine bay and not the cabin or not. :thumbdown:

Good thing I was able to catch it or I wouldn't be posting on this forum anymore, be it the death of me or my car haha. But does anyone know what kind of suspension upgrades would reduce the amount of understeer on the car?

- Lowered on function and form type 1
- 15x7 Advan Racing wheel

I installed the front suspension myself, but when it came to the rear, I had my dad take it to his mechanic because the lca bolts were seized. The wheels were actually bought when my car was at the shop. One of the mechanics was selling them. According to dad, they were $400 for the set of wheels and fresh rubber on them. Supposedly they haven't been driven more than 3500km.

The build has kinda deviated from the initial plans I set out from a few months ago :lol: But I'm loving my EG8 more and more now. Here's my flickr photostream if you guys want to see all of the pictures I've ever taken, and in their original sizes. http://www.flickr.com/photos/91344244@N03/

I love the way the car rides now, besides the added bumpiness. Curvy roads are way more fun haha. I still have yet to put in my momo steering wheel and get an sir front lip. I had thoughts of doing a jdm d15b vtec swap for better fuel economy, or even boosting but I don't exactly want to throw too much money into my car, being a uni student and whatnot... Lack of time, money, tools and space... I think I'm just gonna keep this car for show and handling. I like living by "It's not about the speed it puts under your bum, but the smile it puts on your face." My foglight wires still haven't gotten replaced yet. My entire summer break was taken over by my part time and anything electrical seems like such a daunting task for me. But I've seen people putting HID kits into their fogs and I really want to give that a shot. And HIDs being mentiond, I have also gone back to considering denji headlights with HIDs. Despite using h3 sized foglight bulbs, I heard that they actually have pretty good light output with an HID kit.
