| I'm trying to stick with the "era" appropriate styling for this car. I'm not calling my self old lol but I grew up around cars and going to races and shows since around 94'. During the time when lowering your cars and nice wheels and a few cool little mods/add ons were just right. "1990's inspired" future plans are clear tail lights, clear corner lights, retro fitting a new wing on it, and a few goodies that my cousins from the Philippines are sourcing me and possibly paint, and bags Ordered my visors, and installed my dummy antenna lol. | |

| Wow the wagon looks very clean and I like how it sits. If your previous builds are any indication of what's to come this will def be an interesting and very clean car. Keep us posted | |

| Thanks guys. And yes it came with the coils, wheels, n lip. My homie was in need of something with more room and opted to go for a possible luxury car or SUV. So he worked out a deal for me to just take it as it was, it helped me out because everything he added was pretty much taken care of for me. Now just to add small stuff and paint haha | |

| So are you planning on removing the coils and wheels in favor of something more "90s"? | |

| Haha nah keeping the coils. I was referring to more of the styling in reference to my choice of little add ons. That's pretty much it. I apologize if I've deceived you into thinking I was gonna throw on a kit and a bunch of tacky graphics and 18" enkei's lol I'm just try a find old parts that's are discontinued that a lot of people used to put on heir cars a while back. Seat belt pads, clear tails,side marker lights,static grounding strip, a hood bra, clear corners, fuba antenna(which I got) haha. It makes it fun when your trying to source out old parts that were pretty common during like 1994-1999. That's all lol here's an old photo from 1997: notice the antenna lol side markers, clear corners, shaved handles loll | |

| Yeah, coils and wheels and maybe a lip are the bare minimum for a car lol. Yeah your wheel fitment is definitely not 90s, so I was worried you might revert lol | |

| Haha nah definitely not. On a side note, I ordered some visors only to be mistaken for buying them for the 4 door haha not the wagon. So as of now I've only got the front on. | |

| Did you change something, they look the same lol
When I edit my own pics, I like to try different styles, rather than the same filter applied to each pic. | |
