Quit modding your bike and get that bish cleaned back up.

I was going through my cardomain pictures and found a lot of old ones so I decided to do a progress chart for fun. Ah all this brings back some memories.

To answer your question, yes.
More dings, chips, rust. Paint fading, clearcoat peeling, interior slightly more used. Car is 10 years old and it's original beauty is fading. Pics in homepage and sig were taken 5 years ago in its hey days. Oh well nothing a quality paint job can't cure.

I think my car looks messed up...but I always knew what my plans were. Look at this POS here....
Now it has different rims than in the following picture. Still has plenty of work that needs to be done....

Heh, yeah.. I dunno.. I still remember buying my 97 and I was the happiest guy in the world. I thought it looked absolutely SICK next to my 90 GXE. After I saw some modded max's, I started to change my mind The first meet I went to, I parked right next to CalsonicSE (Jeff), and as soon as I got out of the car, he said "wow, looks like a before and after picture!" as his car was also a black/black 97 SE auto... So I took one for historical purposes:



And now, almost exactly two years later, I've made great progress. No body kit, so we're not exactly clones, but it's coming along

Whenever I look at old pics I always think "damn, my max was such a 4x4, but it sure was clean (no dents and all the imperfections my car has now).










Although my mods aren't much (Drop, Tints, Strobes, System, RSB, FTSB, debadging), I think its came a long way.
