    Update 9.16.06

    I figured I would update you guys on how my car looks at the moment. Not much has changed, just a few things here and there. Anyways...

    I got my Xenon side skirts painted and put them on. The Kaminari ones were fading and were slightly off color, plus I work at a Car Dealership, so I asked one of my co-workers to paint them for me.

    This picture shows how off-color it was. The new ones match perfectly.


    Here a full view before I took it off. Notice how it is fading towards the rear.


    And here's the Xenon skirt.


    Kaminari.....


    Xenon.....


    And heres a picture of the car without either.


    I also painted my brake drum black. I didnt like how rusty it looked before. it took away from the wheels and tires.

    Before....


    After.....



    And I also got 2 12" MTX subs and an amp. Nothing fantastic or show quality, just enough to make some bass heard and felt.

    Very nice.

    Just keep it safe.

    So many cars reach the place where you're at and are sold or get crushed.

    I just folded down the seat to show you what they look like. I usually have them facing towards the seat and have the seat up because it sounds better that way to me. I would never give up my back seats for some speakers lol.

    Don't worry though, I'm not selling my car anytime soon, probably ever. I dont know if i could stand seeing somebody else drive my car showing off my work.

    Thank you guys for your comments.

    I've said it before, but, damn! you've got a might clean ride right there.

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    I just ordered H&R springs yesterday and I'm going to order some Tokico's on Monday, so it should be lowered by the end of the month.
