My brake calipers look terribe, thinking im gunna get the dremel witha wire wheel and go at it, then just get a kit to paint them.

Well thats all for now folks! More to come!
 


yeah, im thinkin i want HID's, but well see haha, and yeah, i took it through the car wash but that lasted maby a week. i really need to do a handwashing with clay and wax and all that fun stuff haha.
 
A pillar hit me!

Well i ended up sliding in slush and hitting a guard pole, and it smashed my cover and my light and knocked the side molding off.

The side molding is all rusted out so it sags, so i really need to find some more.

yeah, i think i lucked out. i hit the pole and went over it, took it out of the cement. Trying to find a Bumper and sideskirts but not having much luck.

Thought i would add a bit more thought out mod list.

Stuff that will happen most likely sooner than later:

HIDS (Bought new housings as my others were smashed)
OBD2 Bluetooth for torque android app (Does this show KR)?
Intake (doing this in the next week)
tinted tails
strut brace
rear sway bar
poly mounts
intense pcm tune

Maby stuff
SD headers/PLOG u-bend delete, I cant decide what i want to do here, as of now ive decided i wont do a top swap but will instead just get a gtp, but for now, i cant decide. How hard is it to weld the SD headers so their not leaky?
HV3


Now im trying to keep everything so i can take it off, so when i do get my gtp, i can just transfer it over.

Thoughts??

was a huge PITA To do but finally got it done, first "real" mod.
 


Sounds pretty good. has quite a bit of whine and when you punch it it sounds louder.

Got my new headlights!!

Pretty happy with them, but it looks i might need to aim them or put the old brackets on the new lights.
