So I bought my X about 2 months ago and as you can see, it didn't take long for the modding bug to bite. I hate that the pictures suck, but I spend all my disposable income on the car and have none left to buy a decent camera to photograph it. I promise by the time I get the rest of my belated christmas gifts installed, I will update this thread with pictures from my brothers Nikon DSLR. Just gonna let the pictures do the rest of the talking here.

Day 1:


One week later, blacked out headlights and debadging later:


Two weeks after that, ETS Goodies installed:


The latest and greatest:

Hrmm..


Mounted on those fresh and so clean clean 265/35/18 Hankooks.

So long stock Enkeis..



And FINALLY, a ****ty quality photo of the finished product.


I pretty much went through hell to get these things mounted today, I sprained the hell out of my ankle carrying the boxes down the stairs at my apartment, and just got back from a fun 4 hour ER trip.

Swift springs getting installed next weekend. Better pics then.
EDIT 1/23/2011
As promised.. Swift Spec-R's installed along with some other goodies

Before:

Right after install and a quick wash at a buddies, still got a long way to settle:


As she sits now:
I'm in love.

So now that the exterior is just the way I want it.. I went to bed last night with every intention of playing xbox and being lazy today, but when I woke up I decided that the interior needed to be spruced up a bit to match the exterior.

So I ripped a few unneccessary pieces out to pamper a bit:

The first to be upgraded was that fugly shift boot [Props to Redline Goods, crazy good quality product and fast turnaround from Poland.] - Bride Black w/ red stitching on all three pieces.




Finished Product - 3 hours and 2 trips to home depot later to get 2 different staple guns - I'd say I like the way my first attempt at upholstery turned out.


Thanks again to everyone who made the car possible for me to enjoy as much as I do.

Next step.. tunnnne.

Thanks for looking everybody.

 

You're doing your part to stimulate the economy, nice work.

 

Will look great with a drop.

 

Nice looking rim job.

 

so true
Thanks, can't wait to put those springs on either.

 

How'd you manage to get those TE's without waiting 6 months :O

 

Phil @ Vivid Racing hooked it up. Happened to have a shipment of TE's coming in the day I spoke with him, and he originally quoted me a 2 week wait time, then another week for shipping. About 4 days later I got an email saying they had shipped out. Apparently he had one set of Mag Blue, and this is the last set in the country at the moment.

Big to Phil and Vivid Racing.

Nice, what size are the wheels?

 

18x9.5 +22 Magnesium Blue TE37s Mounted on those fresh and so clean clean 265/35/18 Hankooks. haha just helping you out they look sexy

 

I know right.. freaking had the car detailed, then we had our "winter storm", and everything got dirty again.

 

looks good, but sucks about your ankle....hopefully no torn ligaments

 

lol, thanks man.

I guess they are kind of fresh and kind of clean.In dire need of some tire shine.
