First photos of the new ride

Just traded in my '04 RA for an '08 GSR a week or so ago, so far swapped for a wingless trunk and debadged, dropped on Megan Racing springs. Took these in the parking lot outside my work tonight.

Nice!

Did you also replace the tail lights? '08s came with the red and orange lights only.

Looks nice, man. I'm a fan of GG Evos. I used to have a GG IX.

thanks for the kind words everyone, i definitely intend on keeping it as clean as possible. i love the wingless look although i have a duckbill from rexpeed on the way just to give it a little something back there

i did yes, sorry forgot to mention that one, same person i swapped trunks with also let me swap tails, they had them hidden under layers of plastidip anyway so it didn't matter to them

Let us know how the rexpeed trunk fits when you get it. I don't want to get something that fits like... uhh... not good.

Rexpeed Duckbill Trunk Lip, Painted GG with CF strip

Dual exit cat back exhaust (haven't decided on which yet)
Wheels (want something that look like Advan RS's but won't break the bank)

went and got an alignment today, drives straight and true just like before
got home, blacked out front emblem, re-attached rear emblems that i had painted, and while i was doing that the mail lady showed up with a big box from rexpeed with my duckbill in it so i stuck that bad boy on there too

some phone pics for now, will get some better ones when i give it a wash
