I believe i've finally made enough 'progress' to where i can make a 'progress thread' dedicated to it

Stock:




then i got rid of my torn up shift **** in favor of the AE shift ****



then i figured...time to do some light changes...

so i bought my 6k HIDs and yellow bulbs for the fogs

 

then i found some AE headlights, courtesy of 01AEmaxine, i believe his SN is and installed those and viola..hotness, in the lighting dept, is achieved



during all that time i was/am accumulating parts, all the exhaust components are obtained...then i obtained my tokico illuminas for $350 shipped and my dropzone springs for technically $40...so all under $400 i got my suspension, then this pass saturday, 11/15/08, after 13hrs and all the problems that could happened happened...the Maxipad is starting to turn into my Sexipad..

 

and this brings us today where i stand...stock looking, but satisfied, i love this setup, handles like a monster, yet subtle enough til when IRL(in real life), and on the net, its hard to see anything done, but then again, i like it like that

 

Very nice! How come you have only the front mud guards? lol You should get a pair for the back and paint them body color.

And also, what are you next mods?

 

i only have front cuz of whoever ******** who owned this car before me got rid of the rears...whatta idiot lol.

i want the 02-03 skirts, and the stillen front lip w/ some rear skirts and some 19s or 20s and call it a day pretty much w/ the exterior

 

looking good man

 

You need some 00-01 SE Tails or 02-03 tails. But it still looks great anyway

 

yea thats part of the plan also, the CF oem SE tails..cuz as you see i have 'SE' tails lol

 

ITS SAMMICH!!!!!!! lol

 

looks good. stockish but good. keep up the modding...

 

yea, no offense, but i'm not doing kits, i hate body kits lol.

keeping it mild and contemporary.

thanks man...and yea ive seen u on here to tun3r lol

 

cool, drop, rims, stereo, go fast mods?

 

Looks good man, the AE headlights look great on a white car. Why don't you have OEM SE taillights though?

 

thats what came on the car..im tempted to trade tails w/ someone when they arent around

lol



i have a make shift intake from my brothers 4th gen, and the only other mod i'm doing 'go fast' wise, besides replacing the intake w/ a real one is ypipe back...

stereo, eventually, rims...not sure, but i want at least 19s, more than likely some polished 20s...but i cant fill u in on my final thoughts for my wheels though

 

Looks like you also progressed by getting a new camera.

 

Haha definitely. Nice mods keep them up.

 

nice work.

 

Blah, i got more 'progress' pictures than you and your stock look is too base-model ..

just kidding.. you know im REPPIN' THE "RICERS" SON! lol

 

lol yea i was searching for a camera for a long time..i actually got mine for like $90 from ebay...Kodak zd710 w/ 10xzoom..w00t


get those sheningans outa here puto before i call teh godfather LOL

 

Those AE lights look awesome on your ride bro . Get those SE tails

 

sell me yours at discount

thanks man, SE's are at the top of my next lighting 'upgrade'

i was thinking though, should i leave my front side markers or do smoked or clear it..ill have to take some night pics to let u see why im up in the air about it

 

Smoked side markers don't look good on a white car , my opinion. Get clears or stay with the stock .

I have some clears that I try to smoke. Not sure if you can take the paint off with some thinner .

 

yea i think im going to stay away from smoked too..ill stay w/ oem

 

nice progress...just give it a good detail, and you can't beat a white 5th gen.

 

Coming along nicely man...

 

nicee.. thats how pretty much mine looks except drop.. and i debadged mine (drop coming soon )

 

yea i gave it a good wash and waxing this pass weekend when i went out of town...zomg, i forgot how good the white can look after a waxing after i wash it this week, ill throw some more pics up and ***** out my lil pride and joy

if anyone comes across some 02-03 skirts please let me know

 

just realized how much of a 'noob' i am for having two threads...i'm trying to get rid of my threads i'm done w/ and saw i already have a progress thread...so all the pics are going to be here

 

these pics and from the post up are the SE tails and new rear brakes i installed in may 09

 

You need another color Christmas Tree.

 

Should get some spacers and push out those wheels.

 

i'm going to wait til i get new wheels...HOPEFULLY i can get these g35s for a good price

 

clean an simple, its the only way to go imo. a front lip would really set it off

the g wheels will look really good, otherwise space those stockers

keep up the good work and keep progessing

 

yea thats one of my next things to do exterior wise. i had some skirts lined up but it fell thru due to expensive shipping.

what the world? lol

 

 

get outa hurr minivan lol

I ALMOST HAD SOME M35 19s FOR $400...but when i called, they were sold

 

 

Your ride is looking good though, epecially now that you've got the SE tail lights. Next step is wheels.

 

THANKS...I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED WHO SANG THAT SONG..NOW I CAN GO DOWNLOAD IT

AND THANKS FOR THE COMMENT..LIKEI SAID, I HAD SOME POSSIBLE M35s..BUT THEY WERE ALREADY SOLD..I'M WAITING OT HEAR BACK FROM THIS GUY ABOUT HIS G35s..HOPEFULLY THATLL WORK OUT

 

+1 Stands out way more.

Lookin good
