Kiewan's 2.0L

[Kiewan]

I guess its about time to start a ride thread, with new rims in the summer.
My 2008 GS sedan is my first car and a daily driver for me and my gf for just over a year now. Just starting out on my own, I have a quite limited budget so it's nothing fancy.
It's pretty much Stock+ with the addition on Koni oranges with prokits, tint, and tinted tails.
It has HAD eyelids, an open mouth grille, lots of removed stickers and dipped emblems, but i have realized that's not the direction i want it to go in.

future mods/ additions may include
-brake TLC and Caliper paint
-rear sway bar
-Rally Armours
-Black lugs
-possible CS skid tray (for driving up north in the winter)

Its a used 2.0L so i am not looking for anything performance wise, and trying not to sink too much money into it, but its so hard...
included are pictures of the car over the last year.

Any feedback or suggestions are welcomed
Thanks

My girlfriend wanted purple trim pieces, also to just cover up the scratches on the fake wood accent piece. [IMG][/IMG]

Are those the GS 15" 5 spoke alloys? I remember when I met up with you, you told me your christmas present to the girlfriend was the painted rims lol. But I dig it. Looks good man!

17" OEM 5 spokes off a GT. Thanks man.

Just received my JBR mudflaps in the mail. They look really good and are laser engraved so no fading of the logo. Can't wait to install them, and the instructions are straightforward.

The engraving catches looks very subtle, but it catches the light from different angles and looks great.

Oh my, that laser engraved is so nice.

Also JBR purchases doesn't get a surprise charge, do you?

the only issue i had was with the exchange rate. It bumped up the price a bit, no customs charge

[Kiewan]

I finally ordered some cooper zeon rs3 tires for my 5 spokes today for a very good price at l&b
Purple 5 spokes go on this Saturday

Last item on the list is black lugs. Any suggestion. I'm looking for quality for a reasonable price around 100$ I haven't researched much due to school and work. Will mutegi lugs work out?

Thanks

[greyseason]

I just bought some,mutegi sr36or something like that from,garage16. They come with 2 sockets so,nobody be stealing yo stuff

[Kiewan]

Summer mode is all done.
I put on the purple 5 spokes on Saturday and they're crazy. I also installed my JBR mudflaps to replace my broken OEM plastic things. I am really impressed by the flaps, they went on very easily and they were supplied with quality hardware.
I feel like my DD is all done. Once the skidplate goes in, it will be a solid year round commuter.
