'08 B16 Spec V - Revival!

Finally back in the "game" with another modified daily.
Most of you will remember my old car:

Sold that and decided to move up onto something a bit newer.
I picked this car up with the intention to fix it up and make it a "stylish" daily driver.
'08 SE-R Spec V with 26k. Yes, the exterior was in some desperate need of work, but considering it had absolutely no frame damage, suspension was incredibly firm, and drivetrain ran great. I figured it was worth saving.

Had all of the lower rocker panel damage repaired properly, quarter panel pulled/shaped, and figured it was better off being sprayed completely.
Somewhat put together:

When I took delivery Thursday afternoon (2 days ago).

Considering I had already stockpiled parts for this thing, I got to work yesterday morning.
Nice before and after:

Just installed my BC coilovers, 18x9 +35 TE Reps (225/40 F, 235/40 R) and Project Kics lug nuts. Set the rears on max low with all collars on. Fronts still have some room to go lower.
Here's the fender braces when I installed them before paint.

Decided to throw this on just now.

I hate how difficult it is to capture flat black wheels on a picture. Haha.
I'm actually pretty happy with the way the fitment turned out. Originally, I felt as though the offsets were rather weak (I do run 17x9 +5, 18x10.5 +14's on my S13, haha), but it actually turned out to be spot on. I know I could've gone down to +25 or so if I ran a 215/40 tire, but considering it's still needs to be a comfortable daily, I'd rather not run that type of stretch.
These are all parts I have already sitting in my garage. A lot of them I'm holding off on installing until I get my inspection out of the way. Wouldn't want the DMV to complain about something dumb.

I would consider an aftermarket header, but I've dealt with a ref ticket in the past. Not a pleasant experience. I'll leave all of the not-street legal mods for my S13. Hah
I'll update this thing as it comes together.

Went ahead and did the brakes on the car. Decided to use high-temp Teal paint (similar to the Project Mu teal) on the rotor hats and calipers/brackets. Also installed the DIY lip along the front, Silverstar headlight bulbs, LED lighting to the rest of the car, and plasti-dipped rear badges. I'll probably get around to installing the SE-R and Spec-V badge later this week.
