Looking great man!! Glad to see the wheels on your car. Dude, i really dont know what the story was on your car, you entire trunk/wing thing was all messed up, different, wing, different badge... weird if you ask me.

Anyway, its starting to turn around. Snap some pics of your susupension... that thing looks pretty high in its stance, or it could just be me used to a slammed MSP... Are your shocks blue, and springs red?

what size tires are you running? Maybe that's what is making the stance look weird.

I'm starting to think this was a ripped off car, that was purchased by a dealer and "pieced" back together.....or was the car purchased privately?
I mean the radio, shifter/boot, wheels, trunk lid/wing....what else?
Bakrauf, do you have the strut and sway bars still?

Yes all the other parts are there. I think the previous owner had a carbon fiber hood and trunk. He also had tons of after market lights hooked up everyewhere, because the wiring around most of the car has been spliced and re-taped I didnt noice this till after I bought the car. Because I found this nice forum I knew what to look for, But it was to late i had already bought it from the dealer which i DO NOT regret. If i had to do over again i would still buy the car because It kicks ass!

There is also evidence that a boost controller, turbo timer, after market exhuast etc. was on the car. When he/she sold it I bet he/she stripped it down and sold the mods, like a lot here do, but he did a VERY poor job of putting the car back to originial. Some BS exhaust is on there now. SO i am gonna save up for a Vibrant or comparable exhaust. After that there wont be very any more mods

yeah man, like i said, i dont know, either that pic on your sig is on a slant/hill...

or the POS prev owner messed up the car with the springs

If I'm right (doubt it) the car should look 50/50 or 40/60

but that thing right now looks 20/80

No, no, no.

I am sure it is the picture. Look at the space between the wheels on the border of the picture.
