1st Rd of mods complete. 20" Ultraleggeras, CF pieces, and a little more

I've only had my car a couple months but I decided to dive right into some mods.

Here is what I have done:
- GT3 RS front lip with Carbon Fiber lip extension from ROTtec
- Rear carbon fiber diffuser from ROTtec
- TechArt carbon fiber mirror inserts
- BCM sport air filter
- Fabspeed cold air intake
- LN Engineering race oil filter conversion kit (thanks to Jason and his OCD Oil Change on the Red Dragon post)
- 20" O.Z. Ultraleggeras in black (thanks to Damon at TireRack who really took care of me and made the process easy)








This is just a fun pic from my Sunday drive on Skyline... Evolution.

Thank you! I'm not sure yet what's on tap for round 2... Maybe some performance upgrades. Any suggestions? It will be a few months while I save up some extra cash again. Haha.

Perhaps lowering your car should be on the list.

Been thinking about lowering it. But the lip on the aero kit is really low already so I'm worried about dropping it more. I love to drive on country roads.

I think there's a market for a smaller lip, flexible like the cup lip, for those with lowered cars. The fender gap needs to be addressed and the aerobat front is awesome, but we need a lip that works for lowered cars. Probably need a separate thread on that...

Mods look great - congrats!!!

Wow, great looking car! All of you aesthetic mods are done in good taste. I'd also agree to lowering the car (nothing extreme - no more than 1"). If you're worried about the lip, you could look into the suspensions like on the new GT3 that raise the front a few inches temporarily to get in and out of driveways. My guess is this would be expensive.

One more suggestion that would be relatively easy - window tint. I think the black wheels and accents on the car would really come together with the windows tinted dark as well. Nice ride!

Thank you. I agree... There would be a market for that. I may do the Eibach / TechArt springs. Wheel gap is not my friend. But still looks good I think as is.

Thanks! I agree... We should. Are you a PCA member? We should do photo shoot or a Sunday drive. Love your car.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions... Tint is on the list. Hard in CA though because everything is illegal on the front side windows.

lower it....will change the look completely. feel any car with wheels should be lowered. as to teh front, i have gt3 bumper and scrape daily but the lip hides the scrapes well and is cheap and easy to replace.

What springs did you go with if it was springs? Eibach? Think that will be low enough?
