Default My ride

here are some pics of my new front end, i shaved the badge and teh license plate holes. it was in over all horrible shape to begin with, just trying to see what you guys think. By the way, the rear end needs a bit of work so right now the bumper is just flat white spray paint in a few spots, its getting professionally painted the beginning of may...


ew.. ^



bay pic, still needs work

I don't think H Tech's will get rid of much gap. I have S Tech's on my DD and they hardly lowered the car at all. The H Tech's give you even less of a drop.

I mean dude have you looked at the DC Squad?

You have a spray painted bumper
Spray painted stock wheels
Autozone aftermarket lug nuts on stock wheels.

You've got a nice car to start with but everything you've done needs to be ctrl+z

yes i have a 4x4, my springs havnt came in yet.
yes my front bumper is rattle canned, by body guy cant paint it or fix the little bit of rusts until may, looks better than white/fiberglass/black.
yes i have autozone lugs, flynns broke my wheel lock key so i bought them.
yes i painted my stock wheels, mine were horrible to startwith
point is, it looks better already than it did when i got it, just because my wheels are different than rotas like a million other people have doesnt mean they arent nice. I like them, i painted them, no one elses look like them...

if your going to say that i have a 4x4 and a rattle canned car keep it to yourself, the car is a project i just started on 3 weeks ago...
