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.

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!!

noricereclips · Jun 2, 2008

well i really hope he isnt just sporting that INJEN sticker on the side for nothing

haha but yep its a great start...get some wheels, a decent drop blah blah you heard it all before! looks good tho! keep it up

Sh4d0wX7 · Jun 2, 2008

Yep. Injen sticker isn't for nothing

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

GTEclipse17 · Jun 2, 2008

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.

Sh4d0wX7 · Jun 2, 2008

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

wright06jhs · Jun 2, 2008

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

Sh4d0wX7 · Jun 2, 2008

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 · Jun 2, 2008

Good Start! Keep up the great work!

Sh4d0wX7 · Jun 5, 2008

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 · Jun 6, 2008

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 · Jun 6, 2008

wooT! love the color

its the same color as mine

Flash Blue Pearl FTW :fever:

GTclipse01 · Jun 6, 2008

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 · Jun 6, 2008

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

Sh4d0wX7 · Jun 6, 2008

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 · Jun 6, 2008

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

Tearstone · Jun 6, 2008

The color of your car is "Steel blue pearl"

Flash Blue is like Superman blue: http://www.club3g.com/forum/showthread.php?t=103775&highlight=flash+blue

Sh4d0wX7 · Jun 6, 2008

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.

Tearstone · Jun 6, 2008

Done

Sh4d0wX7 · Jun 6, 2008

Thanks man. :bigthumb:

alfbocanegra · Jun 6, 2008

Nice Job, I love a clean ride no matter what color is (I prefere black).

Clipse2nr · Jun 6, 2008

Good job man, I really need to do the L.E.D. change as well, Looks awsome!!

ardy4066 · Jun 7, 2008

do you want some megan racing headers cause im selling mine. if you intrested pm me.

Jordan777er · Jun 7, 2008

Good start man, and I feel you on the lack of fundage. Tech eats up every last penny I scrape up haha. We should see how many people are in Shreveport/Bossier and have a mini-meet or something...

Sh4d0wX7 · Jun 7, 2008

Hah, hell yeah man. I'm going to Tech starting Fall 08. We should definitely hang or something.

Sh4d0wX7 · Jul 10, 2008

Well, I finally got my blue conversion done. Anyone recommend something to fix the hotspots? If not, that's fine. I'll just re-sand it with some even finer grit paper.

Jordan777er · Jul 10, 2008

Did you try the polish remover? It only took one try with that and they were good.

Looks nice man.

Sh4d0wX7 · Dec 15, 2008

Well, just got a set of projectors. Used, but in great condition. Here's some pics, they are in the main group in the first post too. No, they are not HID yet, the camera made it look like it..

I will probably get a 4300k HID kit for my birthday in March, then I'll see what these things can really do.

Mister_Bishi · Dec 15, 2008

Nice :yesway:

wright06jhs · Dec 15, 2008

Still looking good buddy! keep up the good work.

Jordan777er · Dec 15, 2008

Looks good, I'm sure the cell pics don't do them justice. I'll have to swing by and see them in person sometime this week.

jstewart92 · Dec 15, 2008

I have the same color, 03' GS,
I was wondering the names of your:
Headlights, clear corners, and the reverse lights.

And/or where you got them, that would be much appreciated,
Also the LED change... i need to do that really badly to mine... Um, i know of 2 how-to threads on that, (one with pics, one without), any help???
But anyway, the Needles... how do those get fixed so they light up??? I've heard people talk about a couple things... like Nail polish remover, white out, etc. but i have no idea, being most LED swaps are to red.

Jordan777er · Dec 17, 2008

*sigh just follow the how-to's exactly and you won't have a problem. You can get the LEDs from here. There is also a bulb size chart stickied on here somewhere, just search for it.

Also, if you look at the very first post, you will see that he listed every thing he has done to this car.

Sh4d0wX7 · Dec 17, 2008

^^^^^ I don't even know if I wanna answer that.

Thanks for the comments so far guys.
