My Slow but surely Y33 newby build...

Like the title says I'm a newb to the actual builds. I've been following this culture for a few years now and finally got some funds to start 
a slow but sure build!

My car of almost 4yrs now a fully stock base Black 2000 Q45. Not only my first VIP build, but also my first and only car which 
makes it that much more special for me. I'm 21 going on 22 (with a minimum wage part time job) with my dream car at the age of 17 being a Q45 ever since 
my brother introduced me to VIP.
Yes my car was given to me it was a graduation gift from the parents ($2800 190k+ miles and damaged bumpers). No I'm not a rich spoiled kid who had it easy my whole life. So please no rude 
comments about that. I'm a some what average kid from the ghetto LOL seriously.

So here's a couple of pictures (I buy my own stuff besides the car lol)

Welcome to the forums.

You weld it or a friend?

If so nice welds!

Looks good man.

Thanks Guys! I wish i can weld like that! A shop near my house did my suspension or else i would've installed it myself if it weren't so difficult! LOL

Looks good cant wait to follow the progress and see how it turns out.

Some rubber on these guys. (18x9.5 +14 215/40r18 18x10.5 +14 225/40r18 Acceleras)

Thanks guys! I appreciate the support.

Haven't been active on here for a few days but i finally had a chance to lower her. =D
About a 2in drop all from the stock Megan set up. These are all camera phone pictures till our buddy emails me his photos he took.
(My buddy with the white SC decided why not a mini photo shoot in DTLA)
This will be the last thing till i get my bumper situation sorted (the respray on both front and rear hopefully this week or next week)

Personally i think it looks pretty tough with out the chrome i might just leave it like that.

Here's some other pictures i did a mini shoot plus i may have lowered my car a wee bit more =P
