Just an update, as I haven't touched this thread in awhile.

Finished my suede interior, and it looks sweet. I'll update pictures soon.

Also, been talking with Laxheromaddness and I think I'm going to buy his Lowering springs. I can't see myself offroading. I already get angry when I get a door ding, I'd be pissed if I started getting offroad scratches all over. Plus, the lowering will give me better corning, a lower center of gravity and overall stiffer suspension compared to the soft 08 springs.

Welcome to my build thread, feel free to ask any questions, or call me out on anything. I tried to give a run down on what I did for certain mods, but if you need anymore help please ask. I've taken off every interior panel except the front dash as a whole. I tried to break it up, and leave enough room between items that nothing ran together. Let me know if theres anything I can fix!

Great parts list. I wasnt sure if xxr's tuner wheels would handle the weight of the vehicle. I wanted 20's and slammed. since you pulled off xxr's i guess anything possible. Thanx. good looking build. keep us posted

I wasn't sure about the XXR's either, but it pulled them off nicely. I went with 19"s to be different, since everyone goes 18"s or 20"s. And I figured I may be able to pull a little more clearance once I buy my coilovers. I'd already have them but I bought custom lights instead :doh:.
Can't wait to see what you've got planned.

Updated my OP,
Bought my BC's and slammed the riot. Can't go any lower without pulling the liners.

(Insert friendly competition)

I think I'm lower than Big_Willis! We'll have to grab some measurements.
