Being a wanna be GXP? car looks good though, nice work. Keep the updates coming

Liking the gxp bumper, looks better then the regular 04+ bumper. I like it actually, minus the red loom and wheels but there not bad. Now lower it and retro do it now!

Looks great. I like it.

Hey thx guys, ya i want to lower in the near future but parents think its gonna look retarded and rub.

Disregard parents info...

Thx alot, umm the reason i chose nitrous is because its easy and cheap. Lol. I got the kit for 400 so i cant complain about that. I dont need a tune and it just looks cool. I also can keep it and N/A.

Umm i am going to throw a 35 shot at it to start, then go from there.

The max i can do is 100 shot and 100 shot, its a dual stage so max i can have is 200.

Needs lower, look into DNAs on Ebay, if you haven't already get the fenders rolled so you DON'T rub, and then show your parents that you can do it easily, cheaply, and won't risk your car or the tires/wheels.

Then retro headlights, and SE lip... if an SE lip will fit on a GXP bumper that is.

Looks really good so far tho, keep it up. And you really REALLY should consider a top swap if you want any kind of power. NOS is nice and all, but once its on and you use it, you will want more, and it will handle more, and then you bump just a wee more and it'll handle that... then you do it to impress your friends and that cute chick down the way and BLAM!!! engine blows, hood is ruined, parents grip and you get an 89 honda to roll in until your able to prove your responsible again LMAO.

^ i agree, top swap

Honestly to tell you, that is exactly how i feel right now. I want use it so bad but...... Well its only 35 shot so it cant be that big of a deal lol

Id still top swap honestly. You'll always make the power won't have refill a bottle and you know the car can handle it. You can do a top swap for around the same price you'd be getting the Nos for and you'd be adding more power than a 35 shot not to mention supercharger whine

I was told by a mechanic if i did a top swap that the harmonic balancer would throw off the motor cause its out of balance then. Is this true? And he also told me that i may as well just swap in a supercharged motor and be done with it. But im just a highschool student. Lol

I'm no expert, but I'd say he's FOS. You'd swap the balancer anyway. I've seen full top swaps selling for as little as $350.
