    We'll now that I finally know how to post pictures I thought I would make a rides thread. The car has been in two families the family i purchased it from with 120,XXX miles and its in my family now with 153,XXX. It's a black 2 door coupe after it buying purchased it sat for literally 2 years. Since I took the car over in December it has all 4 struts/shocks replaced, both front hub bearings, brake booster, new tires, sway bar links all around, axel shaft, a/c compressor, window switch, added a CAI and a couple other small things. This weekend I will be replacing both window motor/regulators, motor mounts, and control arms.

    Visual Mods
    * Black housing headlights with clear corners
    *Special edition spoiler (waiting to pick it back up from paint) along with my door trim pieces
    *Reflective concepts overlays and inlays (waiting for weather to clear)
    *led tail lights
    *3in magnaflow exhaust tips

    Audio Mod
    *Pioneer 6x9s and pioneer door speakers
    *Blue tooth sony head unit

    future plans 6000k hids for fog lights and head lights, tinted windows, painting brake calipers also keep up with the maintenance well here are some pictures feedback welcome (no intentions on lowering and not a fan of roof rails lol)

    Clean car! Reminds me of my old baby with the magnaflow tips. Just a warning.. Black is terrible to keep clean!! One min it's perfect, then the next it has dust/grim from the air all built up on it..Or it rains and you get tons of water spots. Nevertheless, enjoy it! Looks very clean and well kept.
