EEsjunin's White Horse -2009 SV evolution
Hi Everyone,
just wanted to start my thread to show off the evolution of my newly acquired SV. Nothing has been done just yet but i have gathered plenty ideas from what i have seen here...so mods to follow! Here is what i traded and what i got :) Thanks! ~Gene My old ride: 2002 Mercedes C320 Rieger http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/n...-12-41_478.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/n...-06-44_278.jpg My New clean slate White horse http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/n...-45-44_502.jpg |
Nice. I regret not getting white. I had the black and white next to each other at the dealer and my ex-wife talked me into the blackand I regret it to this day. Donet get me wrong i love my car and teh black is super sexy especially when clean but the white has so many more aesthetic mods IMO.
Cant wait to see what you do!! |
^^ I agree I regret it too many. I smh everytime Im see a white one!

I don't regret getting silver cause I like my color, but when I see a white one I sure as hell know what color my 2nd Max would be if I senselessly bought a second. only in premium, that roof is killer.

I like the grill, what did you use to black it out? I've been thinking of doing the same on my metallic slate. Also, any plans to move the license plate to a better location? I need one too here in Illinois, but i hate how much it sticks out from the front bumper.

Eah i played around with that lp location...the only solution that i am thinking about is actually painting the bracket the car color so it blends in...:( |

End up scooping a Stillen intake localy! BTW the filter used by this intake is in fact K&N so it needs recharge kit to clean and not water only, FYI for those who might have heard otherwise...
Getting dropped with Eibachs as we speak :) Stillen lip to be installed this week. Was going to clear bra, but my front bumper needs a coat...so thats next week :) http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/n...g?t=1318342755 |
First impression on the intake:
- Does sound louder - not sure if i am noticing any gains just yet -it does seem to open up in Sports mode with 3000Rpms + |
Nice ride!
I was thinking about purchasing a clear 3m bumper guard as well.. Where did you buy yours from? How much? And are you installing it yourself? Thx! |
Nice looking car. My step-mom has the black on black and she absolutely loves it.

thank you eesjunin! wow $60!! that is a deal! have you noticed any yellowing or cracking?
also when you order the entire kit and pick SV does the bumper include cutouts for the fog lights? do they include mirrors as well? i have a black SV sport...i hope it is not too noticeable... |
Ride is clean. Only thing is the tail lights. It would've looked better is you reversed that idea and had the reverse light section of the tail light not tinted.

Sooo...got lowered with Eibachs...first impression- This is how the car should come off stock! Love the stiffness on the corners and the front doesnt jump when you hit the gas...which was my biggest dislike comeing from the rear wheel drive car...
http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/n...g?t=1318421063 http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/n...g?t=1318421080 http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/n...g?t=1318421097 |
thanks again for you reply...
another question tho :) does the film come with pre-cut holes so the fogs do not get covered up when applying the film to the bumper? also all that product only cost $60?? is this the kit you are talking about? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissa...item1e622093cc |
Really like the idea of the film, but there's such huge diff in price vs. 3M. It won't fade the paint or harm it? Would really love to do this ASAP as I only have 1500 miles on my car, but want to make sure there's no downside. :goofy:
|
Also, how do you like the Stillen intake so far? Is it noisy?
What did you do to the grill? Did you have it painted or do it yourself? Looks awesome! |

The grille- yea - i took it all apart masked off areas and used HD's plastic-dip to coat the chrome areas...see you shouldnt really paint chrome since it will just peel off so putting the plastic dip eases the process of removing it and recoating if it peels...and it usually peels due to rocks hitting it, so plastic dip is liek rummerized coating so cracking and peeling off might take much longer |
Stillen lip- Check!

VERY nice. It completes the look of the front end.

What did the Eibach mod run you? I'm trying to budget my mods, and the drop is on top of the list, along with the Stillen lip.
