Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 sounds good gloss black hard top though yesss?coilovers are a must! you will probs need new drop links all round as they tend to rust and a real pain in the arse to get off when you install the coilovers get a jdm angled backbox! and a duck spoiler! and a lazy eye kit....sorry for the list i just get abit exited lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
