mmm. purdy. I think there's something wrong with your camera though, most of the pictures are crooked, lol. I'm looking forward to May when I can clean up the cars and have a nice little photoshoot.

Pictures? Im sorry to say but I think what is crooked is your hood, seems like you hit something ever so slightly and it bent. Other than that, I think your pics are just great, or maybe my head is crooked? :shrug

Heh, you figured it out. The hood is fucked up a bit cause I hit a large dog last year. I've tried adjusting it, but it's just bent up a bit.
The pics were intentionally crooked as well. Dunno, thought it'd be different. :shrug

Seems like your hood doesnt have any cracks, dents or bend lines, I dont think a shop would charge you much to line it up, it definetly distracts you from the good looks of the car though. Ill be getting some same ebay projectors, Im tired of buffing my headlights :7

There actually is a dent right above the drivers side headlight. That's why you see the hood is closer on that side. I just shaded it different so it wasn't as noticeable. I'm gonna pop that dent out, and then just have the whole front end reshot I think. The fenders need repainted again, so the shop is gonna charge me around $600 to shoot the whole front end, and realign the hood. I'm thinking of a CF hood though...

Yes, it's lowered, but the skinny ass tires don't help much. I'm getting new tires, a little bigger ones, and it should fill up whats left of the wheel gap quite nicely.

Hahaha, lowered on Tokico HP shocks/springs, which gives 1.5"-1.8" drop, wheels are 17"x7.5", tires are 205/40's.
I'm gonna put 215/45's on it.

Hmm, I want 18x7.5 rims, with a 225/40/18, your rim is just one inch smaller than what i want...I wonder if I will rub. i think the only ones that I might have trouble with are the rears.

Not feeling the mesh grill or projectors... don't get me wrong, beautiful car if that hood was replaced. I just prefer the OEM headlights or a retrofit over eBay projectors.

My buddy in california has a vw corrado with a spec5 race engine. (whatever that is) It can pull away from my other friends 2006 m3 like its standing still.
Not a huge v-dub fan but I would drive a r32 anyday. PURDY!

Adjust your rubber hood thing on the passenger side. That thing's poking out like a hedgehog.
And that exhaust looks familiar...

Nice rims, are those Motegi 17inch. I'm planning to buy new ones from Summitracing. They have them for a decent price.
What part of Ohio are you from. I'm from South Canton area.
Wanna do a small meet in the summer. I can't go to the 07, I'm going to a wedding at the same time. My younger bratta is getting married.
