moar low and ditch the mugen lip i reckon SIR lip looks better with the mouded front bars, mouldless suits mugen and type r lips :) Thats all i can think off the top of my head. GL with it :) Looks alot better then when you first got it.

Nice fix from when you first got it. An i agree with what mattsrea said.. SIR front lip will suit better with the bumper moulds.
And you have what seems to be a spoon/spoon style rear wing..

Good luck with the build :) might see you around the blacktown area!

I think you've done a great job so far, looks like you did a good paintjob but the red DRUM brakes are a bit OTT.. the front calipers are kinda acceptable but I wouldn't highlight the drums ;)

where did you get seat rails to suit your monza seats? or how did you make it fit?

Just more low, paint the front bar moulds, the lip is fine, slimline number plates, EK9 headlights,B series. Just my opinion.

imo if you want a one colour front bumper, just get the ej8 front bumper, looks ALOT cleaner then painted moulds. But then again its your car, you do what you think looks good :)

Yeah or if not then take out the moulds on your spare bumper and patch up the holes and see how it looks :)
