Default New pics inside! Lip and fogs are on!

I got my lip on yesterday and my fogs on the day before. Lip was easy just had to do a little bit of remolding it. It is a polyurethane mugen style. The fog lights I got off of eBay, they didn't come with instructions so mounting it sucked. I didn't even use any of the brackets it came with, they didn't make any sense. So it is secure and they are amazing, very bright!

Mods coming up:
-Putting my Sony Explod headunit in so my new speakers sound good.
-New cat back, thinking an Apexi?
-Si spoiler
-Maybe a rear lip
-Paint valve cover
-GroundControl coilovers

If anyone else has anything I should do let me know, I don't plan on hardcore tuning this but I'll take anything that's not super expensive since I have college next year and is reasonably doable.

Now to the pics! Some migh not be the best quality, my digital camera was being a noob.

Not sure yet, all I know for sure is I'm going to use thre groundcontrols, I've looked into them and from what I see they are a good brand and aren't too costly.

Yeah, you'll want yellows for GC's. I had GC's and KYB AGX's on my old EG. As it turns out, AGX's can not handle huge drops. Blew two brand-new struts out within a year lol

Wait, what do you mean "normal person's drop"? You mean, like the people that are only tucking a little bit of tire?

Yeah, the AGX is fine for mild drops. I believe KYB recommends they be used on cars with no more than 1.5" drops (1.5", 3"+... close enough for me lol), so for most peoples' drops, they'll work fine. Personally, I think they were great struts, minus the whole "blowing one every 6 months thing". But that's actually not even dependent on what strut you use. You slam your car on its nuts and you're going to blow a strut; it's inevitable.

*edit for the dude above me: The Koni/Ground Control setup is a great setup all-around, and from what I've seen, they'll do great for autocrossing. The awesome thing about Ground Control is you can actually order custom spring rates for your setup.
