FNG car pic's...let me know what you think

Well guys I guess it's time to post some pic's of my car now. I know I don't have the most bling, I don't have the most power, and I don't have the newest CLs either. But I like it. I got this car about 4 months ago and I did all the mods in 4 days. Here is what I did yo my car:

Buddy CLub wheels (18x8)
Comptech Sway bars
Injen intake
Tein Springs

All in all It rides a bit better, looks a bit better, and sounds a bit better. I think you can tell where I got all the parts from just by looking at the pic's











Let me know what you think.

Funny, you could see the street sign but you did't see the window sticker...haha Or you work at the 3 day suit broker! hahaha

I got the parts from Overboost.com . They gave me a better deal when I got all the parts at once .


Thanks for the nice words.

Nice ride...I'm prob gonna do the same and go w/ dark wheels on my white car. Your drop in the rear looks lower than the front. Your system I'm guessing?

thanks for all the feedback!

About the drop...I don't know why it's like that... I do not have a system.

I am using the h tech springs by Tein. I think I might go with something else. I got them because I like the drop that they claimed in the numbers that they have in the catalog, but the rear seems to sit a little lower than the front just like TypeS BOI said.


KEV,

Na, that pic is taken in Monrovia

Nice rims

I love the contrast that taffeta white and a dark wheel with polished lip gives... very similar to mine:



We both need to paint those calipers too

I would have never picked those wheels for a CL, but they look really good.

You know what, In my book if you talk trash you better back it up I wasn't going to say anything but just for fun I'm going to run a little test…
The subject to this post was:
“FNG car pic's...let me know what you think”
I know that opens me to a lot of trash talk, but what the hell… when some one says something like:

I’m going to see what bases that person has to say that. Now mind you, I’m not saying that my car is the shit, or that everyone will like it. That’s why I asked all of you what YOU think of it.

Just for fun I’m going to close with a poll… Let the public decide…


If you had a choice, what car would you rather own as a daily driver:

Mine?






OR





Brety’s



Remember, this is just for fun!

  3. You will get people that hate it.

Now we all know that the "norm" for CL's on this site is more my car than his. I'm not the one that came out blasting, I just took advantage of the situation and turned it on him. He is out of the "norm" on this site with his car set up the way it is, as far as the wheels go. I'm sure that if I put my car in Dub mag. I would be laughed at, they would clown my 18" dark wheels and question why I got a black CAI rather than a polished or chrome one.

Was that an evil thing to do on my part in setting him up for a verbal beating?

Yes.


Was it funny?

Yes.

Each time I read this post I laugh my ass off! And judging from the number of people who have read this post I'm sure that there are people out there that have wanted to do the same thing that I did once before.

Then again...this is just my


Don't let this post die out, let's see what this forum wants to see...
