Looks good. I think you need to raise the rubber hood bump stops, hood is a little low lol

You shouldve colormatched ur trunk bar, and remove the GALANT letters; not too late. Would make the rear end flow much better...
I can help you cut out your bars in the lower front bumper with my dremel if you want. Just buy me some discs to cut with.
Youre exterior looks perfect other than that, I wouldnt even bother with the JDM bumpers honestly, (sorry Albert!) LOL!
Dont get me wrong I love my parts, but if I could go back and decide again, I'd leave it USDM, JDM shit cost so damn much, & once you start you gotta go all the way to look right. Just my $0.02.

they are one piece wheels. i dont really like the rivets on them cuz it was a vitch to clean lol. i will color match the trunk bar when i get my bumper painted. i dont really like the look of cutting out the bars either. when i calculated how much my JDM front conversion was gonna cost it was over 900 -_-

Really nice for how clean/stock she is. I love it man!

I had mine that low in the rear and the camber was -2.9, Would it be safe to do a Home Depot camber kit to correct that much? Since kits only shave between 1.5 to 2 max. And I hate negative camber.

my rear camber is 2.9 & 3.2. the camber doesn't bug me. maybe I'll get a brand kit in the future but for now I am satisfied

^Oh man, If I could I would run +0.1. How much I hate a squatted stance.

Where are the updates???!!!

what updates? lol

Looks good, yeah I've had the performance ceramic pads and the more basic organic pads which have less brake dust. I honestly can't tell the difference so I use the organics for less brake dust.
