Update 7.27.06 (56k call verizon)

[Toneloc5145]

This is a combination of pictures I took a long time ago and new pictures.

About a month ago I did a full detail on the car. I used the claybar for the first time, then i polished and waxed it. It took basically the whole day, but it was worth. Of course, it rained 2 days later, but thats ok.











And just some garage pics I took when I was bored.









And this is my current background on my computer

[Toneloc5145]

Wait! Why aren't the wheels on the car?












Because I got new wheels. They are 17x7.5 inch Exel TZ-16's on Ventus HR-II's. They might look heavy, but they actually weigh the same (with tires) as the old rims (about 35-36 pounds w/tires). On top of that, handling is way better and it rides smoother, so I couldn't be happier.

And more pictures....













Tell me what you think.

This is an example of a nicely done car. Not ricey whatsoever, but cool enough to turn heads. I like what you've done with it, and it looks insanely clean. It seems like it need a little bit of a drop.

Keep up the awesome work!

[2oodoor]

Very nice job sir
If you dont get AOM this time I bet you will soon, it is one of the best looking 3G I have seen on this board.

[88accordhb]

nice, would look better with a drop imo

[Pico]

Looks Sweet
I'm running the same brand tires on my ride. they do handle nice...
Once again good job on the car....

My car looks almost like yours! I'll have pics up soon so all can see. I'm still working on it tho. It's the same blue, has a body kit, 17" chromium black rims, tinted windows, smoked tail lights, and soon to be dropped and have a new not-ricey-sound exhaust, and a brand new paint job!

By the way, is the paint on your car factory, or did it get a new paint job?

i love that pic =D love those new wheels too. i supose you could drop it a little bit, but not tooooo much especially if you got alot of those speed bumps around. damn your car is nice

[russiankid]

ur bodykit is the sex

[gfrg88]

Sexy!!!!!

[Hash_man_Se_i]

I"M LOVIN IT!... lol... All it needs is a drop, otherwise the car looks fantastic.

[Toneloc5145]

Thanks everybody. Yeah I was tired of the old wheels because 1. they looked too small on the car 2. they were polished aluminum and looked like crap if i didnt keep on polishing them and 3. they were slightly bent so it had a little shake at some speeds.

Yeah I try to stay away from gaudy looking things. Anything I put on this car will look like it belongs there, and I try to match things also. (ex. no white rims because there is no white on my car). And I take pride in keeping this thing clean because I love when people tell me my 17 year old car looks newer than it really is.

nice, would look better with a drop imo

Eh, I'm so torn on whether or not to drop it. Looks wise, yeah I definitely want to. But I don't want to mess up the front of the kit. I measured the front of my car and my car is lower than my dads 528i w/ a lip and lower than my brothers EP3 and his car is low as crap. I cant remember exactly how low my car was off the ground but i think it was somewhere around 6.5".

My car looks almost like yours!

Pics?

By the way, is the paint on your car factory, or did it get a new paint job?

Besides the paint on the kit, everything else is factory.

every time i see your car, i actually consider buying that body kit for mine.....and im not into kits man!

This kit would look hot on your car imo. Especially if/when you get those GT3's. I was actually looking at those, but I didn't want to copy anybody and I found these for a good price.

anyway....dude i say you put some of these in place of those center caps

I never even thought about that. Thanks man, I'll look into it.

i love that pic

Yeah thats one of my favorite pic's of my car. It reminds me sorta of that Infiniti M35/45 commercial where they talk about the body lines and aerodynamics of the car.

ur bodykit is the sex

Haha thanks man! Nothing wrong with sex.

[ICEMAN707]

Ah nice! nice to see another nice car around with the xenon kit! Only one I ever saw that looked nice with that kit is Juan's (Oldschoolswap). BTW, where has he been lately??

[spnrx]

Dude! where did you get the body kit!?

[Hazwan]

looks a whole lot better with the new wheels!

and yes, needs a drop soo bad!!

[Toneloc5145]

Thanks. I dunno where Oldschoolswap is, but I have to say that his car is my favorite 3g of all time. It not only looks good, but also performs good. I know their were a couple of other sedans on here with the xenon kit, but the weird thing is that they were all white, except one I remember was black.

Dude! where did you get the body kit!?

I bought it off of impactparts.com

looks a whole lot better with the new wheels!

Thanks.

[Cheeseburger]

youre just jelous cuz im cool.

ya ur to cu cu...............................................













culero



















nice car btw

[Toneloc5145]

Found an old picture of my car back when my mom first bought it (well, 2 months after). Just figured i'd post it. Sorry for the quality, but all i did was take a picture of a picture, so its not gonna come out that great. Oh, and that mark on the fender is on the actual picture, but not the car. The picture was taken in Germany btw.



I also found a picture of my dads old corolla (wasnt old then). He bought it in 1988 new, and this was also taken in 1989 in Germany.



And my mom drove this RX-7 before we (me and my brother because we're twins) were born. This was taken in Washington in maybe '86 or '87.



And this was taken in 1986 in Washington. My dads old Capri and my moms old RX-7



I had to get my car inspected, so i had to take out the foglights (they dont turn off when I turn the high-beams on). I really need to get a switch. Anyways, here is what it looks like w/o them.





And this is just a random picture i took a long time ago that i forgot to post before.

[frantik]

wow those fogs make a big different to the appearance

that body kit is so perfect for the 3g.. and that car is sooo clean :Rockon: bigup
