Haha yeah I was just annexious to take some pictures so didn't clean everything thoroughly. Ride is good for how low it is. Will be a lot better once I get my front passenger side axle replaced and the back rubs a little on big bumps so I'll have to raise it up just a little. I hate Oklahoma City roads

 

Looking good.... and about how much lighter is that hood vs the stock one..

 

Oops double posted........

 

Very nice. You're off to a great start. Maybe powdercoat the hood pins black or gunmetal so they blend in more with the hood.

 

hell i wouldnt even do that...once he starts painting things black..he has to do the whole car...the rims make all the 'chrome' pieces work

 

I see where you're coming from, but I respectfully disagree. I'm all about tying things together and having a "theme". Hood pins, in general, are nothing more than a cheap accessory to keep the hood secure. IMO, they should blend in and "disappear" with the hood. Conversely, if the OP had the expensive black Aerolatch hood latches, would you tell the OP to paint them silver or have them chromed to go with his theme? I think not. That's my .02 cents.

Didn't mean to derail the thread...carry on fellas.

 

Thanks, if I were to guess how much less it weighed, I'd say at least 25lbs. Didn't really have to compare the weight.

Thanks, I might photoshop the hood pins black and see how I like them. But I'm practically done with this car lol. MIGHT get a rear valance but that's about it for exterior mods. I have all of the performance parts waiting to be installed then I'm completely done with the car besides maintainence.

 

thing is mean. love it. i remember when it was just on stock black 17s

 

Looks good ... But you need some spacers in the back so you can put the center caps on.

 

fresh..keep up the good work.

 

If the front wheels were a lower offset, It would look better. But atleast u got the polished face and not the black...

 

F*ck people who hit and run!!!!! I was at the gym and they announced that some dark nissan got hit in the parking lot so I ran out there to find out that someone backed into my front end. There was a witness but he couldn't get the tag number. Called the cops and they couldn't do much except keep a look out for a car that might be the possible suspect. The witness said it was a new Impala. They backed into my car (I DON'T KNOW HOW SOMEONE DOES THAT IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT. I PARK FAR AWAY FROM EVERYONE and this took place at 11:30 PM). My front bumper, passenger side headlight, cf hood, fender are messed up. So my question to you all is, should I go through my insurance (I have full coverage but deductible is $1000), or fix it all myself? The above parts are what I can tell are damaged, I haven't inspected everything yet. Also how much do front bumpers go for now a days? I'll post pics later because I know the statement "no pics, no care" will be coming.

 

Wow bro car looks good too, WTF someone had to back into it with their POS Impala!!!

 

yes another majestic 5.5 killing the game!!!!!!!! looks good man.. sorry that someone backed up into..smh.. i would say try the insurance company first and see wat they say.. so that way u get all oem parts/... if you do it urself u can get aftermarket parts and save ya self the headache and insurance hike...

 

Ouch. Dumb idiots that do not know how to drive. Any pictures of the damage? is the cf hood destroyed?

 

So I filed a claim with my insurance yesterday. I'll be paying the deductible ($1,000 OUCH) but I think damage would be more than $1,000 so I'll let a body shop handle it. My insurance rate will not be going up (THANK GOD). Here's the damage, the cf hood is pretty much gone, I don't think it can be repaired but can be salvaged and used for other CF parts if I knew how.



and yesterday they put me in an impala (same car that hit me) so I went in today and came out with this:

 

luv what ya doin' w/it

your rear fitment is so spunky

fresh as hell

 

Thanks man. I loved this car. As of today, I consider it "R.I.P". That hit and run totaled the car (crazy huh?). Ill make another thread or update this later

 

More PICS!!!! Looks sick!

 

LIKE

 

its totalled

 

 

Damn, sorry to hear about that man. It was a beautiful machine. Hopefully you can get another ride soon.

 

u got a 7th gen! nice upgrade!!!

 

DAM MAN SRY TO HEAR HOWS **** GOIN

 

Sorry to hear about your loss

 

damn that is crazy bro ... like i tell everyone a car can be replace a life cant atleast u wasnt in it , but it still F'n sucks tho a HIT n RUN damn...

 

So about 2 weeks ago while my car was at the shop, there was a break in and my car was one of the ones that got broken into. They broke my rear driver window to get in and stole my sub/box/amp/wiring kit/safc 2 and since they couldn't take out the OEM navigation, they destroyed it. Good thing was that the shop agreed to pay for everything and make it the way it was before. 2-3 days after that, my insurance called and said they're totaling the car since repairs for the hit and run was over 60% of the value of the car. For the past few days I've been taking off all the parts I can and now trying to get into a new car once I get a check from my insurance.

Here's some pictures

Before break in:


After break in:


As of yesterday (4x4):

 

****. That is a really bad accident. Quite a lot of work in there and spending many dollars.

 

 

Unbelievable. One thing leads to another and in the end, a beautiful car is destroyed.

I can only hope that scumbag piece of **** who hit you and ran gets what's coming to him. The car wouldn't have been broken into like that in the first place if it didn't need to be in the shop.

 

Damn man, sorry for the series of unfortunate events. But, at least the shop is paying for the stuff that you lost.


Any thoughts of what your getting next?

 

Noooooooo! I loved your car good luck on finding a new ride

 

Looks sick dude. How do you drive this thing without bottoming out everywhere!?

EDIT. I only looked at the first page before commenting. At least your ok.

 

Gonna go check out a 350z tomorrow, hopefully everything checks out.

I never really bottomed out or didn't even scrape my lip. Only problem I had was with rubbing but that was only on bumps

 

what did you say to the rental car place when they put you in an Impala?

"What is this some kind of sick joke?"

Sorry to hear about the break-in that blows they decided to destroy stuff when they couldn't take it.

 

I told em that's the car that hit me and they were like oh well, make sure you don't take your anger out on this one. It was a big coincidence lol

 

LOL i woulda stabbed a human

 

Very nice man. Which year and color?

 

It was a black 07.. Called up there to make sure they still had it and the guy said yeah I think so. Drove up there and they told us it was sold last night. So the search continues
