I wonder where this would go... I do like the interior, I think some black wheels with a red lip would look 1000x better... but still looks good

 

thanks, I plan on adding some red paint to it to be 2 tone red and black, I was thinking the red front lip with a thick stripe from the center of the bumber, over the headlights/corner of the hood, down the side imediately below the window.

 

too much going on this car. Not feeling it

 

:agreed:, and that's putting it lightly. For some reason I was expecting much better.

 

Car is nasty... not in a good way. Car looks cluttered and thrown together. It doesn't flow at ALL. Wheels, tails, headlights, hood, and two tone interior all look cheap and ricey.

 

Not feeling this car either and btw since this is a 4 cylinder it only has one header not headers like you stated. But wheels arent working and neither is the wing imo. And instead of going chrome with the headlights you should've went black doesn't glare as much

 

The pinstripes really stands out. I would remove the pinstripes, tint the chrome tails and front turn signals, and adjust the suspension. Good luck with whatever you do.

 

Minus the wheels, seat covers, wing, and pin stripe, it isn't that bad. But if you like it, rock it!

 

wheels are getting replaced whem I have the cash to do so, so Im down for some suggestions. Same with the pin stripes. Need new seats cause the original owner destroyed them, hence the seat covers. Replacing the wing this fall. Went with chrome lights because IMO the blacked out ones didnt flow with the black paint. The tails used to be blacked out.

Thanks for the input so far. Im working on it with whatever cash I have while I'm in college.

 

Just give me your wing, shhhh, you dont need to sell it. :lol: What I would do right now if i had the money of course I would, Put a Oem Black spoiler back. Get Clear Turn Signals. Change the wheels. D2 Coilover drop it. Then get get the WW Lip to top it off. Oh yeah and taking out the pin-stripe.

and your "shock" wing is just a knock off WW Vline spoiler

 

Honestly, it isn't too bad. From what I understand he picked it up in even worse condition, so I give you props on making it look better than it was. As far as suggestions... Scratch the chrome. All of it. Take off the stripe, fix the seats, and for damn sure get rid of those fugly wheels. Oh and I don't like the hood.

 

I don't mind the chrome. I think only black cars can pull it off though. If you're going to keep with the chrome theme, I would get clear front corners. I'm glad you turned this car around from its previous shape!

 

Chad and patriot thanks I can put some pics of it's previous shape up but it was bad. I like the chrome I know it's not popular on this forum but I'm going to see where it goes. I am definitely getting clear front and rear corners and keeping the car black. If it turns out bad in the end I will replace them they are cheaper than other things but I don't have the money to go back as of this moment.

Once again the stripe and wheels are on the get done ASAP list, the wheels unfortunately a little farther down the list.

 

Just did my big 3 upgrade, I put it on this thread http://www.club3g.com/forum/car-audio-electronics/150419-drewskis-audio-install.html so I won't double post it.

Let me know your thoughts.

 

Just ordered clear turn signals, these:

And got a free OEM wing, has some scratches on it so I'm going to wait till I get my front lip, definitely getting the shine lip, to get them both painted and put on at the same time

 

Just ordered clear turn signals,
And got a free OEM wing,...

Where and how did you get a free OEM wing with it????

 

I think the only way to pull off the Chrome look is to buy OEM 03+ headlights. They look way better than ANY chrome aftermarket headlamps. Just don't put HID's in them.

 

Yea that is true, these headlights are a result of a deer taking out my passenger side and my insurance only paying for the one light. It was cheaper to buy this set with the insurance money than pay out of pocket for a second light. The difference would have been too much between one brand new and the other with a few years of wear and tear.

 

Potentially nice looking car. I like from the outside minus wheels, and i think the interior looks pretty nice minus the seat covers. Like to see where this goes!

 

Thanks wheels and seats are on the to do list. I'm going to go with a silver solid 5 or 6 spoke wheel, seats I need to find a junk yard around me that actually has 3G's in it. The original seats have tears and cigaret burns in them.

 

Just ordered the SS front lip and 5 pc grillcraft grill in silver from CarID, and clear corner lenses for the front. I'll post pics as I get this stuff installed

 

:yesway: so you'll have all that on for the 3rd?

 

If miracles happen. The corners I'll have on Thursday, but the lip and grill will be in on Monday at the earliest to the body shop. If they can take my car in on tuesday they may just have it done. But I doubt it:

They need to replace my hood and hood pins
Pop out, fill in and paint my driver side fender
Fit and polyurethane seal my front lip and paint
Fit and install the grill kit
Paint and fit an OEM wing
Touch up and repaint my trunk, rear bumper and rear lip

After all that is done I'm going to have factory ultra red pearl added to my car whenever they can get to that. My girlfriends uncle and cousin own the shop, they're really good and take care of me but they're not miracle workers :lol:.

So for the 3rd I'm probably just going to have the corners in, and deal with the body damage (no pics of my driver side).

I'm also in the process of trying to get Evo 8 Brembo's for a front and rear swap, just ordered an Evo 8 16g stock turbo, header manifold, Megan racing o2 housing and oil lines. Trying to talk to someone else about the Evo 8 factory FMIC, Evo 8 ECU already flashed, Evo8 factory hot side, and an AEM Wideband gauge. Trying to piece together an Evo 8 turbo kit and talking to PharmEcis about an entire 4g63 head he has laying around.

 

These just came in the mail

Had to put them, I think it looks a lot better

My grill kit will be at my body shop on Monday and my SS front lip will be there Tuesday. So hopefully my car will get its long awaited body work starting on the week of the 5th.

 

Doesn't look too bad man. Start cleaning up the outside a little bit. Get some evo stockers so you can fit those new big red things behind them :ninja2: and they will look much better than those chrome ones.

 

I saw some polished 6 spoke enkies I really liked, they're going to happen soon but the Brembo's will fit behind these for now.

Added: the outside is what will be getting a makeover in a few weeks, new lip, new stock wing, fresh paint, silver grill and fake vent kit. Needs washed so bad but with the hurricane in the forecast of rain in the future it's not worth it.

 

Are those 17's or 18's? I have a spare set of evo 8 enkeis and we can work something out since you're only about 2 hours away. If they're 17's you can just transfer the tires.

 

That's what sucks they're 18's with brand new tires. The enkies I saw came in 18

 

The chrome on the black does sit well with me

Not sure what to think. I like it but then I dont

 

I think it will look good when done. I'm gonna drop another 1/2", have Brembo's, have the full shine kit in black with all 4 lights chrome (going to order the reverse lights found them for 45 online), going with polished 6 spoke 18" enkies, factory wing, and grillcraft silver 5 piece grill. Going to add ultra red pearl from the middle of the lip, up the front bumper to the bottom of the hood, around the heads and bold stripes down the side from just below the windows to about 8 to 10 inches down to the tails and the wing.

 

BIG ass improvement based on your description

 

Interior looks good. It's unique.

Thanks guys
