98 2.5tl first pictured post!?

Well here goes nothing....i finally got around to taking some quick pictures. Not as artistic and stunning as some of yall's, but gets the point across. Open to all comments, i have thick skin.

What i have done so far if i can remember correctly. Adr 17" rims, remus dual tip dtm style muffler (make your jokes), chromed shift plate, single 12" JL with ridiculously big (ported) box, cargo net, boston acoustics speakers in front, Pioneer P7800mp cd player, with the hook up for ipod that charges and can scroll through cd player menu, changed out interior bulbs with PIAA super white, along with clear corners, with PIAA super whites in parking/signal and reverse.

Future plans are to get inspires because i tried to smoke my tails with some model master spray and it eventually started peeling (took that method of some legend guy that posted on here a long while back), Fresh black paint especially to get rid of ugly damage on corner of bumber and flakes on front bumper. Also i would love to lower my car, but that may be a while and my amp just putted out Oh yah and the black housing headlights. Sorry for essay guys, let me know your

^ Not only. Remember, you have directional tyres. Follow the little arrow, and you're set. Also, the tips are too bling compared to the muffler. I see a replacement cat, though... What brand? Looks kinda dinky.

just a suggestion...if you're going for the dark/black look (smoked tails, black paint, wheels, etc...) you might want to consider taking out those clear corners and replacing them with the blacked out corners that are available now, especially if you plan on getting the black out headlights. something just doesn't flow well with the dark rear and side profiles and then the front is just has a lot of white/silver.
