Hey ClubCJ,

I'm James! I own a 2009 Silver ES Sedan. It's the first car I've ever owned and I love it!

It was barebones stock when I purchased it back in January of this year, hubcaps and all, and so far the mods I've done are:

- BC BR coilovers
- DTM Drift wheels (Gunmetal grey, 18x8.5 +29)
- RE002 tires
- Ralliart Snorkel & TOG High flow air filter
- Angel Eye headlights (Mars Performance)
- Smoked LED tail lights (CT AutoParts)
- Evo X style side skirts (info@customfx.com.au)
- VRX front pods & Scorpion C lip (Bodykits Kingdom)
- Blacked out front end
- Sticker-bombed dashboard
- Black duckbill wing
- Catback exhaust (2.5" stainless steel to unbranded muffler w/ small tip)
- Carbon fiber mirror covers
- Roof wrapped in gloss carbon fiber

Future mods:
- None! I am happy with how the car is now :)

I plan to upgrade to a Ralliart in two years once I'm off my green P's, going for another apex silver one as silver is love, silver is life.

As for myself, I'm 20 years old, work in construction, my favorite TV shows are Breaking Bad, Top Gear, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Parks and Recreation, Scrubs and sometimes The Walking Dead (when it isn't sh*t). Driving my car is the one thing I know I can always do to take a break from everything, and that's why I love it so much (& sink most of my money into it.)

Thanks for reading guys!

Update: My BC BR coilovers were installed by some awesome friends from AUS CJ this weekend and they make the car handle unlike anything I've driven. Added my other mods to the list (angel eye headlights and such).

Update: added more recent photos, updated mod list.

Attended AK Racing's Christmas party last night, was such a huge turnout! Had a lot of fun talking to new people and waving lightsabers around my car for awesome photo effects!

Thank you :) I believe we have the same headlights, gotta love the angel eyes haha. Your Ralliart is cool as well, didn't get a chance to say hi last night :/

I was afraid people would see.. Hahaha. The photos turned out really cool though, like some Northern Lights level stuff :P Just waiting on Trae to send me them and I'll post some up!

Cheers mate, it's a little rough around the edges, but for $5 a sheet it's lasted a long time!
