i have DDM 55w kit for the price and warranty, but i agree with PD as well. they aren't the best quality and you really get what you pay for. most folks are happy with them. for me they do the job.

I know that feel lol. Be me and have the wooden steering wheel option AND the wooden shift ****. Thankfully it's automatic lol, lest we have some Fast and Furious-grade shifting.

Someone who understands....got in mine a couple of days ago and had to jump back out and just leave the doors open for a second. Flippin window switches were so hot they burned my fingers just trying to put the windows down.


Well, Mine is tan and I think it's quite baller. Would I choose tan if given a choice in same condition? No.

havent updated in a while, will post some pics up tomorrow. But i ended up getting my coilovers installed on the 4th of july. install was easy. Had my shock towers cut to allow the control arms room.

Took a 4hour drive and got a killer deal on some work euroline type n 18x9/10 and with my spacers have them set at +13 all around. Will get some pics up soon

Sounds like a good start... Cant wait to see the photos...

Also the phrase VIP and Budget together is a bad joke right? LOL... nothing budget about a true VIP build.
