Will do

JermTheElf · 07/31/2011, 01:45 PM

Car looks good, do the above and I really dislike the taillights.

I don't know... I like them, they reminded me of these when I bought them

thanks for the input!

patriotred01 · 07/31/2011, 02:47 PM

The car looks to be in pretty good shape. The first thing I'd do is replace your wheel center cap and replace the bulb in the rear side marker. Props for doing maintenance first though.

statesm · 07/31/2011, 02:52 PM

Looks clean, not a huge fan of the tails though.

Thanks man!

I cant find and of those freakin caps.. I've been checking junk yards but no luck. Speaking of maintenance... last week I was driving I guess I just hadn't noticed it before, but there was a nocking when I went over bumps, so $120 later... all the sway bar links were bad... there goes my new headlights

statesm · 07/31/2011, 03:00 PM

How many center caps do you need? I have a few

Mattt · 07/31/2011, 03:02 PM

just one. PM me

ccarrillo717 · 07/31/2011, 03:11 PM

Spend some time/money and clean the engine bay... The tails a different but I dont hate them because you could of gotten worse

Mattt · 07/31/2011, 03:22 PM

Yeah I really do need to clean it up... any suggestions on what to use? just some degreaser?

ccarrillo717 · 07/31/2011, 03:30 PM

simple green and your time

Mattt · 07/31/2011, 03:32 PM

cool

Meest00GT · 07/31/2011, 04:22 PM

I agree with most others, though I don't mind the tails personally. First thing I thought of when I saw HID's in your mod list and no projectors was, as said above, something to be dealt with first.

Otherwise I've always liked the color, and it looks pretty clean.

thanks bud! been saving for coilovers, but I'll just delay for the lights.

Mattt · 08/15/2011, 07:30 PM

got this off a buddy for $20.

Corey16 · 08/15/2011, 07:58 PM

The car looks good. I'm about 50/50 on your tail lights. I have seen them before and they have been around for a couple of years. Like ccarrillo717 had said you should clean that engine bay up and maybe paint some parts or dress it up a tad but don't over do it. The catback exhaust suggestion I would give you, get a Tsudo catback. I have one and it has a deep, smooth tone with no rasp either, but that depends on what header you get.

dont paint your interior of your car, ruins the retail of the car, and me personly hate it when people spray paint there stuff to make it look cool, to me it looks imiture and cheap, just a suggestion, but i do like the car man, dont mind the tails at all. Keep it clean

not the interior, the front of the engine bay; where the rust is, by the radiator

NetMatrix · 08/15/2011, 09:36 PM

I like the car, but also I'm not to big on your tail lights. It is your car and your choice on what to do and all. Keep it clean, and I understand the rust by the radiator. I got the same problem on mine as well. I have to do some painting to that sooner or later.

hey thanks for the comments. I'd like to get the color matched for the engine bay, and I have a spray gun... it's just gonna be alot of work. A good project for the winter

I thought about that for mine, but I'm to stuck on blue. So there's going to be a lot of blue parts under the hood of my car. lol Keep up the work though, and keep posting those pictures. It does look like a great project.

Drewski0523 · 08/17/2011, 05:40 PM

Cool because I'm interested too. I almost bought those.

I know I know

... I'm so excited. I'm expecting about $200 for alignment and rear camber so I'm guessing two more paychecks. Total of $1,000, long saturday morning and she will be sitting pretty

UnderIllusion · 08/18/2011, 01:31 PM

I don't know, but I'm liking the tails actually. I mean I personally wouldn't purchase a set for my car but I do like them.

18027 · 08/18/2011, 04:52 PM

Clean looking car....not sure how I feel about the tails. I love the color though.

Never heard of AlphaWerks....post a vid of please???

Can't really find much info on AlphaWerks. My buddy has one of those nifty Flip UltraHD recorders and I'm trying to get my hands on that for a day or so... I hate bad quality video's of exhaust.

But yes, MD... I live in Carroll County but I'm always in the Columbia, Timonium and Owings Mills area... we all need to have a meet sometime.

Amen to that. I think there are a few dsm meets coming up in the somewhat near future. I'll keep you two and the other MD C3G members up to date. See if we can't get something big going on. Keep your eye on the regional forum.

had to take a friend from bwi to hamden yesterday so I decided to take the 'scenic route'... S Fulton to W North Ave to 83N... freakin crazy baltimoreans... although it was fun hearing the exhaust on all those abandoned houses

Corey16 · 08/18/2011, 07:02 PM

Hurry up and throw a video up of the sound of your exhaust.

I also do have to say it's nice to see that it fit up nice and the catback is facing straight out and not angled off. One thing I hate the most when I drive around town and see people with their exhaust facing off like someone just kicked the damn thing or the end of it is just too big and doesn't fit right with the bumper.

Mattt · 08/18/2011, 07:06 PM

okay okay! iPhone 4 so not the quality I want but I promise I will use a better HD recorder this weekend or... sometime.

Drewski0523 · 08/18/2011, 07:15 PM

The people in this city can't drive, the roads are strait garbage and by scenic you mean condemned projects. You just gotta love this city right? That video doesn't do any justice for your exhaust, get that HD cam ASAP.

Did your stock rims come with a chrome finish? Looks great! Why don't mine look like that though...?

Yours don't look like that because you have GT wheels and he has GTS wheels.

Got Rice Boy · 08/19/2011, 12:22 AM

Never been a fan of those taillights. Seem out of place.

It's hard to hear what it actually sounds like in that video. I would want you to post up another video with MUCH better quality. But from that video it doesn't sound like it will be horrible. So take that HD video and post that up as soon as possible!

WertyReborn · 08/19/2011, 09:30 PM

Rev your engine up a little bit more too! It sounded like you were afraid to push it past that 3-4k range...don't be shy!

Not what I thought but it is different. I would have thought the way the brakes and blinkers were was reversed. I'm still indifferent though.
