Updated pics for 2008

Just some more recent pics of my ride...







I just thought I share with you guys. I'm awaiting a few more parts to come in. I going to convert my Intake back to a CAI as soon as the summer is over with. I got new foglights on the way and they will have 8000k hid's to match my headlights. Plus, I'm going to lower my car some more on my coilovers. More pics to come. Work in Progress, still after 6+ years. hahaha! I'll never get done with this car. But hey, I love this car.

It's clean yet blingy without being tacky. Nice job.

(Side note: what did you use on your plastic engine cover pieces to get them so black? Or is that just the picture?)

What's up, fellas!

Mod list:

Performance
AEM CAI (converted to short ram for the Summer, Houston floods a lot!)
DC Sports Headers
Tanabe Super Hyper Medallion Exhaust
Blox Filter w/Velocity stack(yet to be installed)

Suspension
Apex-I WS N-1 Coilovers
Ingalls front upper control arm(with camber kit)
SPC rear Camber kit
Cusco Front strut bar
Comptech Sway bars

Exterior
OEM lip kit
Cleared headlights
Black out foglights(Going to switch back to clear foglights soon)
Custom Grill w/ Grille Tech inserts
LED signal and peanut bulbs
8000K headlight bulbs
8000K foglights(yet to be installed)
19x8 Work Euroline FS Chrome (52+mm offset) w/ General UHP tires (225/35/R19)

ICE
Pioneer AVIC N-3 In-dash DVD w/ Navi and Ipod plug
JL XR653-csi on all four doors (includes tweeters on all four doors)
Stinger Wires and 1.5 farad Cap
2 10" Kicker Solobaric L7 in a ProBox
Viper 790 XV alarm

I think this is all I have. I could be leaving off a few things here and there. As far as the engine goes, I just keep it very clean and when car shows come around, I'll use the Armor All dash wipes on the plastic engine covers and wipe down the rest with a sham. It is a process, believe me. Hope this helps.

I knew I forgot something. Those are Stinger Battery Terminals w/ Optima Red top battery. I got them together as a package with the wires and capacitor.

I'm not selling it no more. I'm keeping this car. It was too hard to let it go. I had it for 6 years now, so I figure, what the hell.

I really don't know. My baby brother got them for me. I think it is some no name brand. It works great though. I had them for over a year now and they still going strong. Can't complain.

You could if you rolled your fenders. I'm going to be dropping my car some more too(probably going to tuck them), but I'll see how low later when I get to it.

Armor All car wash concentrate. wash, dry, and the occassional wax (Meguir's). I don't know the exact wax though, it is in a khaki kind of color bottle. Works good and it does the trick.

Well, I cleaned them really good when I cleared them and since then, it was just upkeep. I clean my car religiously and very meticulous on how I keep up with my car. I mean, I'm not the best at it but I try. "It isn't much, but it is still my piece of sh*t." hahaha!

Actually, I had them blacked out before and it doesn't flow with with my chrome rims. I since, gave those headlights to a team member of mine and he has them on his TL. I like the clear ones better.
