Not a fan of the painted front bumper, it makes the car look even more like a 4x4. And get rid of the Monster Sticker, it's tacky.

I would save for new wheels and a drop.

 

Monster sticker, random painted black pieces, OEM wheels, and decals on the rear window all look like complete shit. As far as your images, they're "ok" but the time stamp is stupid and you need to turn option off on the camera.

 

that and it looks like you cut your fog light covers with a spoon, rock, and i will never be a fan of random led strips on things your upper fake vents)

stop "customizing" your car at walmart.

essentially, the only thing you have done that looks like an improvement, is your headlights.

hey, you asked for opinions. you got 'em.

 

Agree with the top 2...i would get the wheels and drop 1st. Intake and exhaust 2nd.

 

Ok, thanks for the opinions ever though they are rough. The pics are taken with my camera phone. I cant spit out $1000 for a drop and wheels even though YES I would love to have them. The sticker on the back window is my advertisement for my tinting business and school parking sticker. The bottom of the front bumper was scratched all to hell and had a crack in it from the previous owner so a cheap fix was to wrap it with the leftover vinyl I had to try and cover it up and it looks a lot better than it did. The hood also had large chips in it and the clear coat was coming off so instead of spending more to get a new hood I just wrapped it with vinyl along with the roof and trunk. The led lights on the front bumper vents are being taken off soon, yes i know they look horrible. The fog lights are projectors and were nearly impossible to make a mount on the inside of the bumper thats why they sit low. The hole in the plastic cover was cut out with a router and IMO looks fine. The door handle paint was coming off also so I wrapped it with vinyl too.

 

So your solution is to just cover everything that's a problem with a vinyl decal? :lol: :lol:

 

really i dont like the front bumper but each to their own and take that rc atenna off and get a smaller one. as of the stickers on your back window make it smaller not that big and as of now try looking for some rims maybe some gt rims or even used aftermarket ones in the for sale department dont go chrome but other than that it looks pretty decent

 

Did you know all these problems before you purchased the car?

 

hey i see ur in rockledge..im in melbourne..my car is the same color minus all the black stuff

 

The good: Sonar headlights
The bad: Random black pieces
The ugly: Retarded decals



Remember, take all this criticism and use it as a constructive opportunity.

 

What kind of fogs do you have?

 

My question is how did you mount those fogs.

 

 

This looks really clean, I like it.

 

did you tint your windshield?

 

OH YES HE DID!

 

I'm not trying to be a dick to you guys(Those who -Rep'd him) Why already give him red nuggets. He has only made two posts, give him a chance to see the way we view things so that maybe he can take our advice, when I first got on here, you guys gave me the harsh truth when i asked stupid questions, thank god didnt red nugget me, I was a straight Noob, and now I see how things are run and what looks really good for my car and I have Green Nuggets now. Give the guy a little break, By all means Correct his errors on the car, but to red nugget him already is just a little childish to me.

Now as for your car
Yeah Tinting your windshield Has to go, You never want to lose any sort of visibility in your vehicle, I can maybe see the top part thats tinted that you have, Okay, i wouldnt do it, but its acceptable. But tinting the lower half = not safe. I see what you were trying to do with the whole black vinyl on the front bumper, roof etc. and not that its a necessary bad look, its just the tacky way of getting things done. I would save up the money to have it painted black rather than vinyl. My future mods for you
-paint job
-New wheels and tires
-Drop
- And if the bottom of your front bumper was that bad, get a new one

I actually thought the l.e.d on the fake vent is pretty cool, its definitely original, "tacky way of doing it" But if you could find a good customized legit work of custom fake vents with L.e.d lights inside. That would be pretty nice in my opinion. But a random strip of lights that you can buy at walmart is not good.

Just my advice

Good luck with the car man and Welcom to Club3G :wavey:

 

I had no option my parents bought it for me.

 

All it takes is a little cosmetic work and you will have a beautiful great car, Just be thankful that there is nothing wrong with the car internally, You have nothing but easy fixes.

 

They bought the car for you with all those stickers on it?

Anyway...I like the headlights.

 

All these negative comments is the learning curve for you..If u want ideas, just take a look at others car here and see what is suitable to ur style...i wouldn't take it personal coz we all want everyone rides to look good...If we all said ur ride looks good here..we be lying and retarded...

 

Cut the big ass antennae down or get a new short one, besides that its not horrible

 

For those who left positive comments, thank you I will take your advice. I have already removed the Monster sticker and the leds are next.

fkcamaro: My parents bought it for me after my last car got totaled...I didnt have a choice.

ccarrillo717: Their not a certain brand like "pilot". I got them for $30 off eBay. Their projectors and came with no wiring at all which was good because I had wired a HID fog light kit so I didnt need the wires for it anyway.

EZT: I cut out a circle in the plastic plug then used some composite wood and made a mount on the backside of the piece so the fog mount could attach to it and sit somewhat straight. It was nearly impossible and I would never try it again.

ejsquirt20: Thank you...finally

timster2833: Yes, 50% and I love it.

RicoSmooth: Thank you for the support! My windshield is tinted because I live in florida and the heat + the brightness of the sun is ridiculous so the 50% only cuts down on glare and blocks 42% solar heat which is great. The leds are tacky yes I know and they are soon to be gone. I am going to get amber side emitting leds and do a little mod with the headlights. This should not not look tacky I assure you.

 

so basically the whole car/or most of it is wrapped in vinyl?.. :facepalm:
I think you should start saving money to modd your car the right way, starting by lowering that bish and adding a nice set of wheels instead of covering everything wrong with stickers :noplease: Just a friendly recommendation :yesway:

 

negative comments are also positive advices for you...U probably don't have the $$$ to trick out like RicoSmooth's Eclipse since u still in school, but you can still learn and be creative from other's ride..U can only get better from ur mistakes....

 

fk camaro:ricos eclipse was bone stock what are you talking about
op: i think you should leave the vinyl on the top part of the car for now till you save up and can pay for a paint job make HIJACKERS 3g a inspiration for yous

 

Sorry, i meant HiJacker old ride..

 

haha its cool man no need to say sorry haha

 

Sounds to me like he is just a kid. I doubt he has the budgets of some of you here to make it look like Hijackers car. Hijacker owns his own business, he can afford to buy a cheap car and make it look like a million bucks.. With that said, remove the decals and when you are on a tight budget, keep it simple and clean. Focus on some decent wheels that you can afford, you can get cheap wheels that look expensive, keep the paint nice and shiny, under the hood nice and clean. After you get wheels, touch up the calipers with some paint. You don't need to change the car with all these parts to have a nice and clean car.

:agreed: :agreed: :agreed:

 

I agree with the bulk of the other comments here, but I also applaud you for at least trying something new especially since it is very easily reverted out.

So with that said, please, with haste, revert out the vinyl coating you have over applied everything. If the paint is indeed as bad as you say it is, buy a new bumper, paint it, and attempt to restore the other paint finishes with the wide variety of detailing products available for paint restoration.

Personally, I do not like the trunk/roof/hood two tone stuff that a lot of people try to do, but I, at the very least like, that you didn't waste money on doing it via paint. I think the only reason poeple do it (the two tone stuff) is because at a glance it gives the appearance that your car has a carbon body, which I guess was cool in 2003 when C/F was hitting the mainstream, but in this half assed sort of faux treatment, it just looks sorta cheap and ricey. Even real C/F on imports is tired and tasteless in my opinion. It should be painted. the majority of high end performance cars are all mde of C/F these days, but they are painted *usually*, and so should yours. I"m way off topic now. Sorry.

 

I removed all the decals and will be removing some more vinyl from things such as the door handles and the plastic pieces on the pillars to the rear of the car. I took a few pics of the update and my windshield tint for those who disagree with it. I wil take pics tonight of the interior leds and post them along with the updated pics
