my car thread

wanted me to do a thread so screw it why not well i remember when i first got my car i was pissed. i kept wining on how i wanted a civic or a old supra bought tha car for literaly 600 dollars. here with the engine and tanny completely destroyed me and my pops got to work as asianspec has informed you my dad does have his own shop. he has been around since 1986 he is oldschool... he hates the idea of modyfing anything he says to keep it the way it is. i hated my car i wanted to sell it and almost did till one of my friends told me to check out google tricked out cls. those hawaiin guys...well mainly the on with the white cl lol his car blew me away i didnt know something like that was possible so i decided to keep my car and work with what i got so here it goes...
this is how it looked when i bought it

decided to put some bass in

friend told me to put the lip kit still gotta paint it

bought the spoiler from honda colour code matched saved me a ton

recently jus dropped it probably the best thing i ever did



next in line is either wheels which will be shortly im tryin to get the colour changed from white to gold then in the future the 3.2 swap

Size? Quantity of the BLs? And you can get more efficient amps out there than the Rockfords. If you're set on that gear, go with it, but if you haven't bought or are still saving for the new setup, look around some more. Also, to properly power the BL's, you're gonna want 2k+rms, which is going to need some electrical upgrades. Just a heads up...

AudioPipe makes some deccent speakers, I slammed the hell out of a set of 12's for a couple years and they rocked really hard, sold them to my buddy and he couldn't say enough good things about them

As clean as the car looks without wiper blades, I'd rather pass inspection and be safe...

two 14mm nuts later and they're back on. if your not lazy and put rain-x on the windows (for example) every time you wash your car then its never usually a problem.

grid replica's? lol
