Make that bumper and maintenance priority. With a little TLC, you can have it looking nice

![]() Front bumper needs to be removed as stated, and are those marker lights or blinkers attached at the bottom of the bumper?

Workin' hard.

doesnt look too bad... itll take a lot of work to get it to look how everyone else wants it but dare to be different. the front bumper is awkward and the two toned paint job kinda looks awkward also. paint is expensive and you gotta work with what you got i suppose! new headlights, window tint will help you out in my opinion
good luck, this will take a while spend your money wisely! search before buying any parts you may like, take my word on that

Front bumper, autozone side markers on the front bumper, radio sticking out so far, toggle switch in the center of the dash, and white pinstripe all suck ass
throw on an OEM front bumper and clean it up a little and take some better shots and youll have a pretty sweet ride man. BTW i also like your center console and WELCOME hope you learn alot here

you gotta be fearless to buy/own a car that looks like that.
serious question for you HPUNCH: why did you buy it? did you say to yourself: "i like the way this car looks." and then when you came here and people ragged on the looks, you decided you are going to change it? or did you look at that car and say: "well, i COULD buy a car that looks good, or i could buy a car that i will drop a bunch of money into JUST to get it to look as good as stock. i like wasting money." or did you just say "i like hamburgers" and buy the first car that you could find? especially since the WORST cars to buy are ones with JUST an aftermarket front. that usually means it was wrecked, and the owner was too cheap to fix it right, so he found the cheapest stuff he could find, and made it look sellable, and hoped someone would buy it. LOOK AT THE BODY GAPS. nothing in the front lines up. you need to tear that front apart and get everything straightened before you start on anything else. looks like he went under something at one point. i am betting you got some major work to get your parts to actually line up.

![]() The blitz kit lines up horribly, that's how it looked on my 3g when I had it on, but that hood definitely isn't lined up properly. If you follow the line along the headlights, the closer you get to the front of the car the more it raises up, rather than following than headlights. I see a little rust on your driver side fender where the bumper meets the fender too.

I would recommend dropping the flip out radio down to the second slot it makes it look cleaner and it doesn't completely cover your air vents. I had the same flip out when i bought my car before replacing it with a pioneer flip out with nav.
![]() and yes i realize my carpet is dirty but oh well |

I must say the exterior does need some extreme work..The two tone color choice is just off. The infamous Blitz kit bumper is horrendous. Interior isn't so bad and I like the wheels.
I vote choose a stock bumper of your choice and re-work that paint job and she'll look 10X better. |

I kinda like that Mirror though, seems like it would give a wider range to see and it has a modern look, everything else is a little iffy. The CF hood is alright as well.

so instead of cleaning your engine bay... you just added bright stupid looking blue parts to it, to distract people from your laziness?

Anastacia HOE!!!!

Next to the Bomex that is the WORSE front end for the 3g period. Even getting a 03-05 front bumper and paitning it to go with your set up will look 10000000x's better. That bumper just kills the whole overall look IMO. The paint job looks pretty good though.

and what do you mean " I havent seen too many people that can afford air ride suspensions" a GOOD coilover set up cost as much, if not MORE than a good air ride setup.

An airbag setup gets more respect huh? You think blowing money on an airbag setup is some kind of measure of high status and the mod that'll make you stand apart? Who are you trying to impress? An airbag setup isn't practical and as far as coilovers go you rarely see them on 3G's. A quality coilover setup is more impressive.

i race my car, and once i did my suspension, i went from loosing at the track, to taking the novice class cup in the summer series, and the Street touring class cup in the fall series. (i just got my seasonal trophies last night at the awards banquet) your engine bay says "i am not a show car" with all that rust, dirt, corrosion, and general slapped-together uncleanliness. the huge body gaps say "i am not concerned with how my car looks". the chips in the front bumper say "i am driven, and not a show car." so is this supposed to be a show car? or a driven car? or what? our cars are not drag racer in stock form, no. if you want them to perform you need to follow it's strong suits, and mod in that direction. ie: if it is a show car, clean it up... don't just slap on all the cheap and easy parts you can get. if it is an autocross car, do the suspesnion. drag racer? forced induction. i will repeat: if it is a show car, clean it up... don't just slap on all the cheap and easy parts you can get
