Have you thought of becoming a hand model?

I am! Thanks for noticing.


I finally got a tracking number for my spacers/adapters. It only took them 11 days to ship it out from the time the order was placed. They were custom made so they had to make them from scratch, but it took a week longer than expected for them to finish making it. Nevertheless, they're finally on their way.

I finally put my wheels on. Yesterday, I got the motorsport adapters in the mail and I put my wheels on. They fit perfectly with my suspension set up, but the roads aren't as smooth as a track so I had to raise it 3/4" so I wouldn't rub. Also, Motorshit-tech gave me 19mm lug nuts and it barely fit in the wheel hole, but I managed to find a low profile socket that fit in the hole (thank God).

Here are the pictures:

This is how low it was before.


I need an alignment. The ass of my car is so ugly! I need a rear apron.


I wen't to go get an alignment and the guy said he didn't have enough time so I just got my tires filled with nitrogen. I should be getting an alignment tomorrow.

Wheel size is 17x8". Tires are 225/45/17.

I like it

Consider:

-Flipping the lip
-Polished bumpers
-Smoking the headlights
-Chrome grill

Love how the flat black was done correctly

I like the lip this way because it kind of looks like the "is" lip hehe:)
I don't know about all that chrome stuff because I'm trying to go with black.
Also, I think the look of smoked headlights, but I like the contrast of the lightness of the headlights with the matte black on my car.

Thanks a lot though! I appreciate your input.

No problem, I just remember all too well the battles of trying to make an early model look good but I get that sometimes just gotta do you ;)

Check out Matt's car for a bit of inspiration. And here too.

I got an alignment at Big-O tires yesterday. Today I bled my cooling system because my car started spewing coolant all over big-o when they got it on the lift. Hopefully it fixes the overheating problem and it's not something bigger (head gasket leak:().

I finally got my Thule fairing in the mail today. Brand new for $75 off of amazon. I need to roll my fenders because my tires keep pulling them out when I turn. And I don't feel like raising the height of my car.

Yesterday I was driving and I went over a bump in the road and my shock fell out of the strut tower... Thank God there was no damage at all. I had it towed back to my house and I put it back in today. I didn't realize the nut at the top was loose, so today I put an impact gun to it and tightened the hell out of it. I dont care if I over tightened it, I just don't want that to happen again. It's not so tight that it's damaging anything, but its tight enough. Scary stuff man, I could lost my car.
