Hey guys, kind of a newer member and I realize that it is my duty to post pics of my P5 and show progression. Bought my P5 over a year ago with 180k km on it. Seemed like it was well looked after, tight clutch, lots of receipts from prior work done to the car, and a timing belt that was just replaced. With limited funds and a strong desire to own my own P5 one day, I decided this was the car for me. In the first year I just did a few DIY mods. Painted rims, Blacked out emblems, painted calipers, and a homedepot front lip.

Once the steady income started real mods came. First I bought a Racing Beat Cat-back and a AEM SRI

At the start of summer I got some Bronze Katana rims (17x7) with falken ziex 205/40/17 tires.

This summer planning on getting Tokico struts + appex springs, new strut mounts and endlinks. Rotors (ExtremeStop), autoEXE lip, Paint valve cover, take care of all the rust and body work. I'll be sure to keep you guys posted on new and all mods to come.
Thanks for Viewing!

With the Homedepot lip you should have followed the lines of the bumper. It looks %100 better, IMO. Good job tho.
Check out my sig for what mine looked like.

I agree yours does look real nice! I'm planning on getting the AutoEXE lip soon, so I'm not going to bother with it.
