6 month overhaul

hey guys im new. ive been workin on my car now on and off the last few months and its starting to really look good. ive done just about everything from a new body kit to fiberglassing some interior panles. i hope to have some pictures up when ever i get my cam fixed ill be sure to do so.

heres most of what ive done so far:


AEM cia

DC Sports catback

RRM test pipe (that i still passed emission with it on)

RRM front strut bar

17'' black ADR sz1 wheels

skunk2 lowering springs

ken style body kit

evo 8 cf wing

evo 8 vortex generator

blacked out head lights

black tail lights

full audiobahn system with custom trunk set up

xbox 360 in the trunk

7'' lcd fiberglassed into the dash

LOWER PORTION of the Orbital Prestige Double Din kit

fiberglassed rear speaker deck

painted all fiberglass and other grey dash trim yellow

and painted valve cover and a few other things under the hood red



-----UPDATE------

Finley finished fitting my body kit. the side skirts needed a hole lot of work. now everything is almost ready for paint !
finished molding my lcd into the dash. i sanded it so much that it feels like glass.

yea so its still pretty "ricey" but i cant wait for paint.

heres just a few pics. sry my cams a piece and the flash sucks...

I have a few old pics that i have on my cardomain site, but ive only got exhaust, intake, my old system, and a few other small things cuz i took them back in may. so they arent anything special.

You have one of the few DC Sports dual canister catbacks huh? Nice! I'd like to see that Evo 6 wing and that custom audio trunk setup.

BTW, what color do you need that Evo grill in? I got silver...

no its just the single canister system.
and the color doesnt matter much with the grill because i still have to get my body kit painted yet so i could just get the grill done at the same time. but it would be nice to get it already matched. my cars yellow btw.

Get those side skirts and front bumper painted, and the exterior will look a much much better.
Do you have any pics of the XBOX in the trunk??

$$$ is always an issue, but i figure, youve done the fb and ss, may as well change out the rb too. That rear bumper has a huge "behind", the techsports rb from accolade gives the rear end a much cleaner look, just my 2 cents, but the cars looking great man! keep it up!

yea i do have an a-spec rear bumper, but its a piece of junk. the opening for the exhaust is 4 inches to left, and the curve on the fender well just looks goofy..

so if i do change it out im goin with the evo 9 style from accolade that evojr has. i think you have to special order it, but that thing looks sick!

but like you said $$$ is always an issue and i really need some more go fast mods. so id rather save for rrm's piggyback.
