Very nice sir!

A lot of people love this car (including myself) and it's a great motivator to know that you didn't just wake up one day and dump 10k into your car. It was a progressive project over 3 years to get you to where you are today. Hopefully peeps will look up to you for that and know that it takes time and dedication to get a sweet ride.

Also paint looks $$$ for a 2001 (aside front bumper and body kit) it's obvious your babied that car all the way.

Any more future plans in mind? I would recommend a rear brake swap and some drill and slotted rotors to accent the wheels.

couldnt agree more man.

bernie, as you know, im in awe of the stance you've achieved. also there's the possibility of a stance meet going on with some of the guys over at stanceworks. it'll probably be within the month and probably somewhere around annapolis. i'd love to have a familiar face there man, also i havent seen the enkei's in person yet!

Thanks guys.

i keep telling my self "in due time".
Thats all it is, sooner or later youll get there.
Off the top of my head i idolized TRlPPlN, Ihartmycelica, Jintei, Slowica, Evil eye, swyn, nogoauto, Celicajonz, and epicwolf.
Props to those guys!

Its snowing right now, its the first time snow has touched my car since paint.

Very cool to see the transformation Bernie. :cool:

Today was a the first time snow touch my car with fresh paint and wheels too. haha. I didn't want to drive today because i was afraid to let that road salt touch my wheels. I'm sure you felt the same.

btw, i miss my works. shoulda kept them and had them polished for my winter setup. :sadpace:

throw the money into FI instead.
For me to have a solid running boost setup it would take a lot of time and money.

Remember this car is my daily lol

I would like to have a pair of Work Emotion CR-KAI that color.
So would i!

this is definitely making me want to reconsider and lighten up my wallet a bit

Very inspirational post, thanks for posting! I have a 2000 Spectra Blue GT and was planning to keep it mostly stock since it's my DD/commute car but this is definitely making me want to reconsider and lighten up my wallet a bit :fawk:

Can't wait to see more of your car. Keep us posted!
