Anyway, little back-story. I bought this car when I was 15, my first car, and recently payed it off. Finally turning 18, I have started to work a lot more and have been able to finance modding the car.

So far, I have tinted the windows 20% all the way around, de-logo'd the trunk, removed the spoiler and had the trunk holes professionally covered and repainted, got some depot ebay projectors with Xenon 8000k for both the highs and lows, altezza taillights, got a cedia grille, annnd using the DIY found on these forums painted my stock OZ rims flat black. Performance wise I have only installed RRM Headers, High-Flow Cat, and an eBay Catback Setup.

Unfortunately, I have quite a lot of bad luck with the car, in combination with being a new driver. Over the three years I have had 3 accidents involving hitting deer at 60+ mph, and the first winter I had the car I slid into a guard rail at a relatively low speed. So my bumper is a bit dinged up and my replacement fenders on both sides are a bit off paint wise due to lack of qualified painters in my 3,500 population town..

Alright, Time for the pictures, they were all taken today at the Dworshak Reservoir which is about fifteen minutes from my house. Luckily Northern Idaho has had a light winter, and today we were given some 75 degree sunny weather.

 

lookin good.. simple..

 

nice im digging it. =)
drop it (if its not yet dropped) and get a shorty rear bumper.

 

woot for ly

 

I like it looks clean!!

The only thing i dont like is.......



It doesnt have tire shine and tires dried to a brown color .

It looks really good though!

Try some meguiars tire gel for it to lasts weeks on there .

 

I really would like to drop it, but being in such a rural place I am faced constantly with giant potholes, rocks, debris, and I already plow snow on the highways as it is .

As for the tire shining, that was the one thing I didn't have in my garage haha, spent the whole day waxing, armor-alling, windexing, etc, I intend on picking some black magic today.

Thanks for the comments!

 

Looks nice man, have you done anything to the interior I hope so

 

Not so much, the interior was pretty beat up when I got the car (Glove Box Latch is broken and missing my ash tray). I've pretty much kept it completely stock, other than electronics.. The first thing I did when I bought the car was buy a nice set of speakers/amp/subs and head unit with the remainder of my loan money, and more recently I bought a decent radar detector and a GPS. Eventually I'll replace the glove box and ash tray when I find the parts on here or ebay, but until than I am content with the rest of the interior I guess haha.

 

Cool, so what you thinking in putting it. With some 17" or even 18" will look great

 

Ya, once I get my tax return back, I plan on putting a bunch into it. It is sitting at about 115K miles though.. so I'm hesitant. I would like to get bigger wheels but i have both studded snows and all seasons in the stock 15",,

Other than that, I will hopefully get either coilovers or a springs-sway bar-strut bar combo.. Being an automatic, I can't get much more out of it I don't think, unless I went with boost so no engine mods really.

and I need to get a new front bumper, mines all scratched up.

 

I love the clean look. How you likin those DEPO projectors? I want to get some.

 

it actually looks nice without a spoiler

 

I really like the projectors, they are extremely clear, reduce glare tons, and I think they look pretty good.

As far as the spoiler goes, I felt the same way obviously :P so much soo that I was willing to fork over a few hundred dollars to get the holes sealed and repainted.

Thanks for the comments.

 

Nice car bro.....Where abouts did you purchase the projectors/Housing (Does this also have HID's?)?? Im really looking into buying some projectors your input is much appreciated.

 

I got mine off of ebay from a member named Neondials, she is the only seller of those particular units I think.. they were $299 with free shipping and came with all standard bulbs and then a pair of 8000K HID's for the lows. They bulbs and ballasts are made my Alpine and are really clear and bright compared to other brands I've seen.
