Talking Extreme Makeover: Car Edition!

Well guys and girls when I set out to mod my car I had to take into consideration that this is my everyday driver so I had to be soemwhat conservative. I also had to remember that I got beat for $2000 for some Lowenhart wheels. So yes I have knock-offs for now but boy they look good and when I bend one it isn't a 1000 wheel to repair lol. With that being said I decided I would go with L-Tuned suspension and it just so happened RI-GS4 was selling his kit so I decided that would be a good time to get this done as well. I also added a Weapon-R intake that Blue sent me like a year ago lol. I am really happy at how it came out. Very rea;istic to drive on these awful streets of Mass. Hope you guys like. Well enough already here are the pics: Thanks guys.

Looking good! What kind of exhaust do you have there with the L-sportline rear bumper? New style Borla or Borla tips?

Actually pretty funny, I sell these tips at my shop. They are Ractive tips. I was goign to buy the Borla then saw I had these and I liked the way they looked so I decided to try them. I think they fill the hole pretty nicely.

Yup Spazios, Ilove the way they look.

Yup I have the L-Tuned suspension. I love it, it sits perfect for what I wanted to accomplish. Maybe next year I will change to the Tein Cs but for now I like the suspension and keeps wifee quiet lol.

Finally put up the pics eh? Like I said the other night, I forgot just how much I like pearl white until I saw this car rolling from behind! LOL

And also the wheels really do look nice when spinning up against this kit, we all have individual tastes/budgets/etcetc and you know I can respect that!

I hate to say this on ur thread, but I am REALLY looking forward to the NE meet, there are going to be some nice rides there! I'm also positive that there are other members working on their individual "extreme makeovers" LOL

Enjoy your ride bro, and drive safe

Guys thanks for comments. It means lot to get compliments from my fellow members.

D I will drive safe as long as stay out from behind you on the highway!lol

Hameed, ya I did a lot at once plus all the small things I added like the HID's , the rear tails and roof spolier (Lsportline). My trunk is being composed as we speak as well so keep your eyes open for that to be done.

Thanks again guys

Ah, I love the look of a nice clean white with a slight drop and a nice sleek look.

Very nicely done.
