all summer i'm going to be saving and preparing for the NOPI nats in september...

Plans before then (dreams)

-Custom molded carbon fiber eyelids, along with some other stuff molded
-Polished to almost chrome intake manifold
-JDM front bumper w/ a repaint
-custom headlight painting (no, not black)
-windom emblems...

Like said... these are dreams... but if I get them done. I'll be with my club on midway at NOPI.

Either way... lol, I have a press pass. So even if I don't enter... I'll be there.

Dude, I thought you had big plans for it?? I was hoping to see a finished product soon... I guess we won't be seeing a wide ES anytime soon.

Dibs on the exhaust.

Maintenance-wise, I'm done for the summer albeit oil changes; I completed the 90K service about two months ago. I will definitely hit 100K in my '01 ES before the end of this year

Mods-wise, nothing certain on the radar now. Just planning to keep the car looking clean inside and out wherever I go, even though it's routine for me.

getting some 18"s, either of these:






still need to get tints. $1600 worth of unexpected repairs has put me back a bit.

after that, maybe throw some LEDs in the wheel wells to highlight the wheels at night.

get a touch up kit and try to make my rear bumper semi-presentable. after one minor accident and dozens of scrapes from goofballs who dont know how to parallel park, it looks like crap. really, the whole bumper needs to be replaced, but i don't even want to know how much that would cost.

finally, hook up my amp correctly because the idiots at circuit city had no idea what they were doing so i have to rewire it myself.
