Kind of a spin off from the ghustle thread since i got curious to see where everyone came from to where they are now.

Rules of engagement:

1. One pic of when you first got it/before you did anything to it

2. One pic of how it sits/looks now

3. This is not a stance/slammed/lowered 'must be' thread, just a before and after pic thread....sooooooooooooo GO!

awesome thread.

Maximus92- roll those fender's man. What size tire you running in the back? looks meaty lol

 

When the car was stock



After, with WS2, Warpspeed Y, headlight retro, and H&Rs.





The car more than likely will not be modified more than this.

 

still very nice and under the radar

lol looks like 245/40s...i wouldnt tell him to roll the fenders, i'd have him stretch the tires if anything, but its still a nice look

 

stretch, spacers

 

245/40 . I rolled my fenders later that day . It was chewing up my tire . & I'm waiting for these tires to wear out until I get new ones . I'm thinking 215 stretched with spacers

 

When I first bought my '01 Merlot



Its best days and before I sold it




And the new car
