Dude, Im Lovin the Black Clears. I know this is an odd question, but are you originator of this mod? Or did i manage to completely Miss Someone do this before???

Also could you please get more/better pics, id love to see them.

tigersharkdude Nov 29, 2009 06:14 AM

IIRC flava is the originator of this mod. his car pulls off the black/clears so well though its crazy

Nozama Nov 29, 2009 07:24 AM

Started on the Vortech and MEVI yesterday, hoping to wrap it up today.

Pics to follow.

ceboyd Nov 29, 2009 07:41 AM

thanks man. no, i'm not... as tigersharkdude said below, flava was. if not, he was one of the first. except he went a step further and threw some LED boards in there. looks fantastic. you should also search for the DTM (dallas taillight mod). that's another quasi-stock looking taillight idea.

oh. there will be more pics. gotta get creative on some scenery around here, everything is so urbanized lol. gonna try to get in the 2011 calendar!!!

assuming you have a manual trans, start with a warpspeed y-pipe. then mevi or 00vi. then CAI, catback, UDP, or any other expensive-yet-low-yield mod. gotta look at the HP/$$$ factor.

but if you're automatic... GTFO.

lol

haha.. no worries, it's a 5spd SE :D

tyler5619 Nov 29, 2009 04:56 PM

^^ good call.

if you want to start modding, do it right. get more power first. i laugh when i'm on the highway and my ultra-low "appearance modding" budget is beating a $3000 body kit, $2000 wheels, fake intercooler, 10" screw-on muffler tip, etc.

then again, some people don't care about "go"... just "show".

poser is the technical term

Feldman Nov 29, 2009 05:16 PM

this was my mod today, no hp gains but i thought it would be cool none the less

ceboyd Nov 29, 2009 05:21 PM

poser's we are not (I assure you) and people often love to point and laugh at our track beastie because we are more about GO than 'show'.

We do laugh at poser's all the time though with their BTO and silly body claddings.

$2k on wheels will never happen.. more like $200-$350 plus tires ;) -- and no bigger than 17s.

Our 97 is 100% rust free so replacing that part of the exhaust just isn't a priority right now but that is on the list down the line (not interested in too many mods to be honest as it is more of a daily driver so a body kit will also never happen!)

what's your latest mod?

While you are in the tinting mood you should get that back window tint looking better.

ceboyd Nov 29, 2009 05:44 PM

tint is something we were talking about redoing on our newly acquired 97 *(its looking pretty aged from the phoenix sun right now)

tosheto Nov 29, 2009 06:42 PM

aackshun Nov 29, 2009 06:47 PM

i bought some lights from a guy on here modded for 9007. for me, the output was crap. i blame it on the filament being straight up instead of sideways.
