SSM Snaps - December

It's the end of the year so figured would post up my only shoot (think I had one more other post earlier this year lol) but nothing new.

What a fail this year was with this car.. spent all on maintanence / repairs and nothing on mods. New brakes, tires, timing belt and water pump replaced (not to mention the shop cracked my bumper and sideskirt in the process!), HID dies, tranny dies, just to name a few! ..And this was in a span of 2 months!

Been debating if should just sell it. Anyone else have this love hate relationship? lol.. Anyways, on to the pics.











Thanks for looking!

Sucks everything hit all at once. Well maybe 2012 will bring changes since you already took care of the other stuff.

Car looks sharp though man, what would you have done if you didnt have to do the rest though? Just curious.

Thanks for the compliments guys! It's a nice car, but when you have to maintain so much on it, it becomes a pain in the ass lol. I like to think I maintain my cars regularly, so yes, hopefully 2012 will come with better luck!

@Phidboi1 - ordered through my local shop. Personally for me, it took about that long too though others will say they can get it faster. It almost got to the point where I wanted to just cancel my order and use that money to buy headers isntead. But luckily it came in. One of my favorite changes to the car def!

@kidduce - Would want to work on fitment more, def new wheels as I've been crying wolf on that for the past year haha would also want to upgrade my sound along with just little things like LED interior, HID fogs, etc. Come to think of it, a lot of the stuff that's on your sig lol!

when something breaks it's the best time to upgrade it..that way you can repair and mod all at once! Car looks great. Any time I have to repair something on my car I'll buy a new mod, even if it's something as cheap and simple as some LED plate bulbs or new headlight bulbs....that way you have at least something new to enjoy despite the headaches!

@xtremex626/yeedatoy - Haha, I think we all share the same mentality about wanting to put our money to mods rather than fixing up things lol ..I do the same thing too when I need to replace a part, I might as well upgrade it. Was too cashed out to upgrade my rotors, but I wanted to do that while having my pads replaced.

@Mr. Maker - I've been thinking spacers too, but going to try to find 8" - 8.5" wheel with lower offset and get it proper.

@AZN.M3NACE - That's what I figured too. But if anything else happens... Civic it is! lol

Great looking ride man, makes me wish mine wasn't in storage. I'm curious as to which exhaust you have because it reminds me a lot of mine even though it's not.

And I agree with JJashaa, our car looks sensational from the side. For example:
