Sh4d0wX7's Steel Blue Pearl

Sh4d0wX7 · 06/01/2008, 09:44 PM

Well, I've been here a for a little while now and after cleaning/washing my car I took some pics. Sorry for the shitty-looking blurriness, it's an old 2MP camera and it was low light, bah. I'll get better pictures when I can get a better camera.

MA Audio 2 10" Subwoofers
MA Audio M600XE 2 channel Amplifier

Future Mods:

Some sort of 18" Wheels with 225/45's
R1 Drilled and Slotted Rotors

Looks good so far! Next id say get some new wheels.
Unless you saying no pics of the engine bay means its all stock then first get a cold air or short ram intake.
Happy Modding!!

Yep. Injen sticker isn't for nothing

And for the wheels and drop, blah I just need the fundage, then it's all good.

love the fogs man and the interior led change, especially the clock pod. I still need to do the led's as well...one of these days. Its a nice start, keep it clean.

wright06jhs · 06/02/2008, 02:16 AM

nice looking car, great start too. Oh and for future reference the color is Steel blue pearl...i had a 03 GTS the same color.
Great color choice

Yeah, it's a pretty simple mod and costs like ~$15 worth of LED's, and about an hour of work to do.

Haha, yeah I saw your Galant thread and then looked for your car. And man I feel bad for what happened to it. Anyways, if there was some way I could change the thread title, I would for obvious reasons. Anyone know how?

Eclipse03GS · 06/02/2008, 12:36 PM

Good Start! Keep up the great work!

I dont think theres any way to change it but i just wanted to let you know the actual name of the color because its a great color
Good luck with the car tho!

Sh4d0wX7 · 06/05/2008, 06:00 PM

I just got some DEPO reverse lights for my car and I have a question. What would you suggest I do for some tails? I've always thought the 03 and up stock ones looked fine and I like the fact that they have the orange turn lens versus the red ones and I like that more. But here's the problem: Black contrasts too much with my color (steel blue) and that with the clear reverse lights I just added, it looks kinda funky. Chrome tails are out of the question because that screams rice and they fade terribly. Opinions?
Here's the lights for reference instead of having to scroll back up to look:

JPflip509 · 06/05/2008, 10:44 PM

looks exactly like mine except the led interior change...
nice stuff man! i dont hav the funds just like u but still got tint, headunit, clear corners and intake haha

Jruberti · 06/06/2008, 12:33 AM

wooT! love the color

its the same color as mine

Flash Blue Pearl FTW

GTclipse01 · 06/06/2008, 04:27 AM

rims, drop, debadge the "RS". For once I'm going to say stick with the stock tails/headlights, I can't see black projectors or TYCs working well with the color and aftermarket chrome lights look like shit.

GTclipse01 · 06/06/2008, 04:28 AM

Also, a chrome 5-piece grill could really add to the theme you have going.

Yeah, I was thinking about getting a Mr. Grille grille. They're like $80 and look sweet. I probably plan on getting chrome Sonar's for the headlights, because my stock reflectors are just too dim. My fogs are 2x brighter than my headlights. I could literally drive with just those on.

00TampaBlueGT · 06/06/2008, 08:32 AM

Looks good so far man. Definitly needs wheels and a drop!

Tearstone · 06/06/2008, 09:18 AM

The color of your car is "Steel blue pearl"

Flash Blue is like Superman blue: Flash Blue '02 RS

Well if a mod could change the thread title for me that'd be great. I can't or I would have when I figured out I was wrong about the color.
