the aero mods wernt much

just blue tape across the grill between the headlights, and the lower grille opening. and just straight aluminum from behind the front wheels wells across the bottom of the car... connected to the bottom of the car through a couple holes that i drilled in the "frame rails" (the thick steel runners under the car) with a couple rivets

tanabe NF210 springs with 17x7 sportmax 006 (2lbs heavier than stock) and 205/40/17 nitto neogens (1lb heavier than stock and .2" shorter in diameter) shaved door handles, front fender lights, and rear bumper lights and a fujita cold air intake, only running the first half of the piping though, so that the filter sits right over top of the trans right next to the engine so that it is a makeshift "warm air intake"

here are a couple pics of the car minus the tape (i have a car club meet/photoshoot tomorrow)
