    Guess this will be my blog for my baby.

    Pic taken the day I saw the car and before purchase.



    Stock engine! (Should I take the cover off?)



    Added a sticker. LOL OH BOY!!! <_<



    Dropped some nightshade on these lights. Will get to the 3rd light soon.




    My work so far... I plan on window tints soon.

    Not to be mean, but is the rear bumper a different color?

    You need a turbo.

    The lower bumper part is always a different color, but I agree that the sun light and view from the camera make it seem like the bumper itself is a different shade of silver.

    Glare of the sun made it look like it is a bad job, but if you saw it person. It's nice.

    No black. Black is too boring.

    A silver-ish color is what I would do with a silver car.

    black isnt boring imo, actually a dark metallic grey would look pretty sweet, or chrome black

    Chrome black sounds good.

    I figured with the tints and blacked out taillights, chrome black can stand out too. My car would look very sleek with the silver and black, imo.

    /e: Won't get rims till at least tax refund time or March for Sam's $$. But I'm planning it out.

    Any good rim sites or should I shop locally?

    Well... couldn't sleep for the past 2 hours because my mind has been driving faster than my car..

    Big plans for the car, apartment (soon), and school.

    Just bought a cold air intake, will come Aug 6th-10th.

    Getting 20% tint this Saturday before I make my way to Warsaw, MO. Where the pictures of my car after tinting will be awesome with a lake as a backdrop.

    Gonna get an oil change + coolant system flush and replace spark plugs with newer ones tomorrow.

    Man, can't tell y'all how excited I am.

    Comin' through you with no sign of Inertia!

    You coulda made your own intake for like 50 bucks...... but o-well.

    And make sure you get ac delco iridiums for new plugs, those are the best for the car.
