Kendra I basically want what you have but swap by 01 for a GXP! Im trying to keep the 97 clean, almost sleeper but once I drop her I think people will start poking at me to run off the line. Still not sure if I should go coilover or do a strut spring combo I dont want a huge drop.
 


Re: Lil Blacky Thread

Finally got some time to put some work into the GP

Here is some night shots, really dig the Humount well worth the extra 90 bucks! It was a pain to hook everything up with the steering wheel control and all but got it all figured out, ill try to get to the speakers and amp in a few weeks maybe. Time never seems to be on my side!

Re: Lil Blacky Thread

Nice car man, thanks for the input on those headlamps , just placed an order for them a second ago . What brake upgrade did you do exactly? Going to do brakes in the coming weeks before the snow falls , and wanted to paint my calipers as well just blue or silver maybe .

Re: Lil Blacky Thread

Heh the red painted caliper upgrade! Honestly all I did was replace the rotors and pads and paint the calipers. But after the fact I really wish I would have gotten the GXP set up as I ended up replacing the front caliper as I was servicing the brakes cause both of the pistons were seized. If you got plenty of miles and are doin a bunch of go fast parts might be worth looking into FBody set up or GXP link below.
