Cleared corners!

Post by nos4blood70 »

Decided to clean her up and show off my newest mods. :twisted:

Image
Image
What do you guys think?

Image
Also took the time to detail the engine bay a little. Keywords: A LITTLE. Also got a K&N drop in filter.

Image
Hockey puck mount! Thanks to all who installed it last weekend.

Image
Mileage is creeping up a little. :P

Image
Cleaned up the fuel filler area as best I could. One a day with more time I'll really get to it.

Image
Chipping buttons.

Image
Thanks to Will for the new rear taillight and for touching up my scars.

Image
Image
Image

Image

Painted my calipers all around. Powerslot slotted rotors up front with Hawk Ceramic pads all around. This thing really stops now.

Thanks for lookin'. :wink:

Wow that looks nice! Can't wait to polish the headlights up on the 03 so the lenses look like that :) the clear corners look great on that car for sure!

I love how cleared corners look, especially on silver/light blue cars.

Your nuts are a little ugly... :poke:

Thing looks Awesome Carl! Glad I convinced you to buy my headlights and disable the DRL's? :poke:
Seriously though...Let me have that thing for one day, not even, and It will look new again... :btruestory:
As far as the situation with your nuts, Remember I told you about Summit Racing Equipment...Just make sure to get the right size and pitch...IIRC they have a fit guide on the detail page...
EDIT: Just remembered...Coolant Flush. That is all.

Thanks for all the compliments guys!
As to my nuts.. :roll: I'm probably gonna wait till Spring to change them. Let winter finish these off. I'm very low on cash right now (more like always, but just exceptionally now, lol).
Waiting for my tint to show up. :twisted:
The coolant is being flushed on Tuesday, along with new tranny oil, and hopefully getting my ABS/Trac fixed. My pops is sponsoring all that. THANK GOD
As to my horn(y) horn...... :booty2: A newspaper salesman was walking out into my lane yesterday morning. I playfully tapped the horn and he instantly lifted 3 feet into the air. Hot *dang*. This is a change.
