UPDATED 5/22/09...PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LEAVE COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS

I'll try to update this when I have time. Until then, this is nothing exciting...basically a timeline of the changes my car has gone through since I bought it a few years ago. These won't include performance upgrades...mostly just visual ones. All mods are listed at the bottom of the page.

Crappy pic, but this is when I bought the car:

Shortly after getting it, I got a good deal on suspension parts, and did AGX struts, TEIN springs (getting replaced soon), and Perrin RSB/Endlinks:

While later, tracked down some BBS rims, and got new Proxes:

Front end was looking a bit weak, so I got an STi scoop/splitter (along with larger TMIC) and CF OEM replica front lip, fog covers, and CF side marker covers:

Next was painted headlight housings, and gutted OEM grill:

Now, as it sits today, I have removed the wing, traded for some new wheels (Rota Tarmac II's), and had all the windows retinted so they match and are legal (35% all around) because they were 15% in the back.
