Hello every1, i have some pics here of how far the car is so far.
So far i have cleared front headlights,front trans mount (hockey pucks), slp headers with cat delete, no resonator, ngk plugs an wires, 180 thermostat,FWI with ractive filter, custom Metallic silver interior, 2.5% rear window tint, 5 star rims, new ceramic pads an rotors installed so far.

By the way :) excuse the dirt in some pics, :banana:


here is the car when i first picked it up off of Oakridge Ford Dealership in London, Ontario

hey every1,
well this took me a couple weeks to post but i figured out my password to photobucket again hahaha.
I have gotten my hands on some halos and a few L.E.D's. I seen Headlights with Halo's inside a wrecked denali that was at my friends garage. They were actually in the truck that was in the background in my pic above ^^^^.

Well anyways here is how they look behind my silver grills.

So what you guys think?
I was going to open up my fogs an put inside but i wanted to show a meaner look. :banana:
Any criticism and opinions is great :)

Thanks

Not too shabby.

For what it's worth, it took about 1k miles for my car to show a rear o2 code after my DP and (no) cat was installed. :P

I have since turned off the code for it, so it won't come on anymore.

Looks nice, but the chrome trim just seems a little "cheap" to me.

I think the chrome around the side windows takes away from the lines of the car. I wish my wife's CTS didn't have chrome trim around the side windows, same reason. - BC
