Why you may ask, well I am the proud new owner of some JDM full length sides and the wrap around will flow a lot better with the overall look I am after. The MS spoiler and lip are going on the GS as it is already white

"The look you are after" = Mooneggs DD...

Yeah pretty much

My goal with the RS is to make it look like a concept car. It is AWD after all. I dont want to give too much away but everyone will have to hold tight until the summer to see all the little subtle body changes that I make to it.

So, it's been five months, any updates?

i know right MORE AWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you figure out an AWD or RWD swap for the GS, Let me know!

Sorry guys life has just been crazy, Summer has been really busy and is flying by. I was supposed to have moved into a house by now with a large 2 car garage, but it is kind of straggling along. so it is looking like it may not be for two or so more months before that will happen. BUT, I have been working on a few customization's that are not on the car yet. I keep changing my mind on everything so its like all over the place (constant new ideas). I will get some updates on here by the end of AUG, I promise. finishing up my exhaust, my custom drive line, and new rear chassis mounts for the rear end, as well as I have begun modifying the rear upper strut tower mounts to make them 2" taller It is hard to get a lot of time when the car is like 2 hours away from where I am living right now.

moarrr updates now!:)

I will have them this weekend I will finally be finishing the refab of the rear frame rails

Don't forget the piping of the front mount! I want pictures!

I took them a while back but I purged my PM's so I couldn't remember who needed them Sorry Rob.












The only side I may have fitment issues with will be the drivers, but the piping is far enough back that it should not pose any issues with the fog, but if I upgrade to a 3" from the IC to the TB like I want to from the 2.5" I may have some challenges.

It seems it will fit with teh USDM front bumper support and the EDM/JDM cover over it but i think the mounting brackets for EDM/JDM front bumper support that have the brackets for the fog lights won't fit with piping where you have it there.

Are you looking to put in an EDM/JDM bumper support for your JDM bumper or just keep the USDM one?

Should not be an issue because the piping is a couple inches behind the support. I am modding the USDM support to take the EDM brackets. from all the pictures I have seen it should clear just fine. Now if there was an issue there are a couple of things that can be done fairly easy to get it to fit. The USDM support is thicker and deeper where the fog brackets would go in comparison to the EDM support. I will get it all fitted up here in the next two months so I will post more pics then. Or if I head up there this weekend I will take a fog assembly with me and take some more pics

very nice and much needed updates

holy crap there is a lot of work put into that car. NICE WORK!

Good to see more progress Josh!

When do you think you'll be down in my area? I've still got that bumper, and maybe a few other things laying around you might be interested in!

Do you happen to know if the MS bumper will work with the American bumper support? I assume it will, just by eyeballing it... I should line it up with my other car(missing a bumper) to be sure.
