Default My ride, a year in the making....*PICS*

What's up everyone....just wanted to post some pics of how my ride has evolved over the past year



This is from July last summer.... :happysad:


That pic showcases the two worst mods I did to the car.....the teezers and my OBX B3 can on the stock piping.... Worst $300 I ever spent


Here is what it looks like now....
-wheels and tires
-GReddy Evo
-Removed pinstripe and badges
-Stock tails w/out amber
-AEM CAI





It took me like 3 hours to remove the pinstripe because a front fender and rear quarter panel were repainted up to the pinstripe. So some paint was actually over/touching it....here is the quarter panel up close



The most recent thing I did was paint the rear rotors.....check out the difference....

Before



After




Yes I know it should be dropped a little....but after spending over 2 grand on the car this summer I'm out of money . Plus the roads around here are garbage and I really don't think it looks to bad . Opinions are welcome

If I do anything else major to the car it will be H&R Sport Springs and KYB AGX shocks. I had my mind set on doing it when I got my wheels but I'm glad I didn't cause I'd be in debt

I might tint out the front/rear bumper lenses along with the white part of the tails this fall though.....teamlegacy does have a point....dark on dark would look pretty IMO.


Thanks for the comments

Looks great

Nice job with the brake rotors, it makes the actual rotor look brand new. Notice the shine that the silver paint reflects off the rotor.

Im likein the car:naughty:
