I think my next move on this will be starting the interior and getting a real exhaust because the fartcan on here now is louder than my system lol. I'll be ordering a Borla XR-1 once i got the cash.

Like I said its your car. I'm not trying to bash on it I'm just saying from experience don't do things that aren't needed. Painting those vents were a BAD idea. You might think it looks good now but wait a couple months and you'll be kicking yourself

I know what your saying, im just trying to entertain myself while i plan/save for my swap, and i always wanted to redo my interior so i'm just starting the Interior/Exterior first instead of rushing to the swap bc my last car looked like **** but had a GSR. So im just trying something different with this car.

Interior work is fine. But my opinion is paint shouldnt go on your interior. Thats just my opinion. And honestly even before a swap the first thing id do is drop it. If a swap is out of your price range then go to town on interior/exterior. But do it right

Agreed. I'm saving for an Eibach Pro Kit at the moment. Front 1.5 inch and rear 1.3 inch, should look pretty damn good. Oh and I'm getting stock taillights ASAP.

Decided to smoke my tails today to hide the gayness of the euro lights, and i think they look pretty sick, i might just leave them, but i will still buy the stock lights just in case i change my mind later




Also smoked my Fogs because i wanted the black housing ones but figured this would be a cheap and easy alternative, i think they look good, so i just saved myself about 40 bucks on those.

Dang. Those tail lights are DARK. My trouble with those is a practical one, though. I really have trouble seeing them come on sometimes...

Yeah i see what your saying but the light shines through fine, even though it looks completely blacked out its only like 3 coats and its very easy to see through for how black it looks.

The ricer lights came with the car, along with the eGay rims and the fart can muffler, I did the vents and I think they look good.

does the aftermarket reciver allow you to still use the door flap to cover it?
