A few of you may know my car build, but for who don't... Her name is Minty.

An 09' slowmatic 4cyl coupe commuter turned wrapped and bagged on 20x10.5 squared. Before I had this car I already went through my "go fast mods/days" with my 05' Acura RSX-S and 99' Turbo Eclipse. My only goal was perfect stance, period. Well she still needed to be practical, so no CAMBER GANG status. Basic commuter with a non-conservative build in mind yet still tasteful. This car was purely assemble to be aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. I've attached some past progress photos.

Highlighted mods:
-Anzo Headlights + Tinted OEM Tails
-Mustang GT500 Rear diffuser + WRX 2011 front lip + Custom poly side splitters
-Vinyl wrapped in Emerald metallic green
-AirTekk Saigon air ride kit
-Motegi 20x10.5 F+8 R+18 / Powdercoated White
-Acura RL Advic 4 piston BBK calipers with 350z Rotors
-Rolled/Pulled/Flared Fenders
-Moon Dust powdercoated engine parts / Woodgrain engine covers
-Custom blast/straight pipe from cat-back with Ceramic coated muffler tips

Week one to now , Megan lowering springs to ksport coils to AirTekk air suspension .

Yup it's the all chrome grill that I blacked out the top portion.

As for the "how can I afford all that" comment lol.. first off the car itself was very affordable on $17,500.00 with a 1.5% interest rate, got a great rate through my credit union. To me there were only two costly mods which were the AirTekk air suspension kit itself (Installation done by our shop/me) and the Emerald vinyl wrap.

Everything else was done by me through our Custom Car shop "Custom Functionz". Side splitters were made by us, tint tails done by us. The mustang gt500 rear diffuser was only $180 and the front WRX lip was only $150. My wheels are motegi's so that already should tell how much those were... Only $185 each. My interior stock and so in the engine performance wise. Everything was done on budget, I even called this car a budget build at one point because I rarely use expensive high end "baller status" parts, most parts were replica and or made to fit from other cars.

Btw, if anyone is interested in AirTekk suspension with manual or digital V2 autopilot management PM ME. Our shop is a certified dealer & installer. I've personally installed over 20 air ride kits from Airlift to AirTekk, Airrex and Accu Air Managements. We only deal with locals, we don't ship. Kits range from $2800-3800 and take about 3-4 weeks to be built and shipped :mrgreen:
