I think it looks like something I'd laugh at aside from the engine and the rims, so the answer is to do whatever you think looks good and not give a shit what others say.

Ya know...I am deployed in iraq right now, and I look at my cardomain to see my car and what not, and...I kind of chuckle myself...That's why I have been brainstorming, and not so much taking the opinions to heart, but their ideas might be of something I havent thought of...and could use it... so yeah, it needs work... But i appreciate the comment....Thanks

I would probably laugh at it too. With all the money spent on ricing out the exterior, you could have already had an H22 in there and on your way on boost. And how much cooler would that be than all show, no go.

Take a look at my car and you will see what I mean. No exterior bullshit, I put my money under the hood and into the interior. Different strokes for different folks and you obviously have your priorities in a different place than I do. However, cars like yours are a dime a dozen where I live, so even though it may be unique to you, it looks like any other ricer's car I would laugh at.

Balance is key but it is your car, so do what you please to it if it makes you happy.

The guy before me did most of the exterior work, honestly, i think it was a victim of insurance fraud, but whose to judge...but thats why i am here, i havent put any money into the exterior, or interior, i am here to change it, hence all the future plan ideas on the page, although this car has won me a few trophies at small town shows, even beating out some jdm coupes, the judges must not know how to judge ehh,...but speaking of different strokes, it will soon be spinning to a different beat when the engine gets swapped this summer...and it will have some new paint, and the other plans on the cardomain page, will that do it any justice...

Kind regards
Charlie

I hear ya on all of that. A buddies friend says he can get me one piece jdm black housing headlights for 200. About the same as i seen a set on ebay for. Loosing the wing for sure, and the tails, well, the trunk was trimmed and the fenders cut for these...so i'll need a new trunk lid, and rear fenders...

I def feel the gunmetal rims, I have a hook up on some volks, so it will be one of the sets on my age,

Why greddy for the cat back? So many brands out there...

Def getting new paint after the swap and turbo



Plans are as follows

Turbo, exhaust, headlights, bumper lights *just going with amber instead of white bulbts* Unless i can find a set of black housing

then new rims, rear brake conversion...

then paint, remove wing

then from paint, interior, and little things like hood and other things


should take about a year if things go right...

Do you mean go big as in shows, or track?
