    Catalyst - Update! (warning 56k)

    Looks like its time for another update. I wasn't satisfied with the paint job that I did on my hood and headlight covers, so I had them professionally painted, and you know what that means... an excuse for a photoshoot. Enjoy.

    PS: Those dents on the hood came from the paint place, the hood was perfect when I brought it to them. :[

    List of mods:
    -Cat back exhaust with 2.25 mandrel bent piping, and a magnaflow XL series muffler.
    -Prime 15in 5 spoke aluminum alloy wheels
    -Kumho Ecsta Tires
    -Freshly painted Hood, Headlight covers, grill, eyebrows, bumpers, and trim.
    -Sounds System : Kenwood deck, 4 6in. Rockford Fosgate punch series component speakers.
    -Other than that, shes stock.

    You really need to drop it, but it looks really good. You can probably get that dent out.

    It's just soo damn sexy! I really like the black and white photos. It almost makes me wish that I had painted my car white... almost. Haha I'm sure it wouldn't have been as hot inside the car in the sun lol

    i like what you did with the corner lights

    you need to align your passenger side headlight bucket though

    Re: Catalyst - Update! (warning 56k)

    Looks great, but in my opinion I would go with the 88-89 front and corner lights (unpainted) or maybe the JDM ones. You need something to break up all the solid black on the front. Either way good job, and drop that car like its hot .

    Wow, that looks incredible. You must be very proud.

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

    Re: Catalyst - Update! (warning 56k)

    Thanks for all the comments!! And geddy, $350 is all I need to spend? I thought it was way more expensive than that. I just have no idea where to get the shocks from. Looks like I'll have to do some searching through the forums. And Pico, I will definitely head down to the pico shop when I do get my suspension stuff. Im just a little worried about dropping it with the wheels I have. Seems they have alot of offset ( I think its offset ) It looks like they would rub on stuff.
