ABP gotta represent.......chapter 1
By popular demand.....here's a few pics. Once the tints go on and she gets a nice wax/polish, I'll get some daytime ones for you. I'll post more once she's completely finished....few more mods in store so stay tuned! And yes, it's Abyss Blue Pearl - the best of both worlds. Blue by day, Black (almost!) by night.
Not sure if you can tell, but their actually 19's with 20 spoke rims but 10 of em powdercoated black so it's a totally different look in the day. Drop courtesy of TeinS and Koni Neuspeed. Enjoy!
And for the james bond in all of us.....my personal nav screen hack. Totally sets the mood when I fire her up!
Yes, a little over the top, but we can dream can't we? Designs via special-ed.....(no, the "special-ed" does not show on the actual screen.)

Hey guys, thanks. I figured I'd give a teaser shot and represent the true color of choice since all the guys with the blacks and whites seem to be runnin' things with all their damn mods! We need to get more ABP's postin'!
2004 ABP Auto w/ NAV
So far here's what's installed:
Injen CAI
Koni Neuspeed's
Tein S Tech springs (front and back)
Comptech RSB
Blue LED interior lighting
Wiring for 2- 6" Clarion LCD's
19" Zenetti Deuces (there's your answer lax! I got em at cost so they were too hard to pass up - my boy owns a rim/wheel shop)
Here's what's sitting on my desk:
Front Ingalls Ball Joints
Rear Ingalls Control Arms
30G external HDD with remote and Mp3's/mpeg4 movies playback
2-6" Clarion LCD's with wireless headphones (for the shorty)
Rear trunk lid spoiler
Amsoil ATF
Here's what's on order:
Aftermarket Alarm
20% Tints
Wilwood 4 Piston Front BBK (deposit made, just need to do the template sizing)
Wilwood 2 piece Front rotors, slotted
Here's what I'm looking at:
100% - Wilwood 2 piece Rear rotors when they're available
100% - Magnaflow or comptech exhaust
100% - Comptech SC (if the damn thing ever comes out)
100% - Intercooler (if the damn Comptech SC ever comes out)
90% - Carbon Fiber Hood painted ABP
50% - Rockblocker Rear and side marker tints (waiting for Jon_M to post pics)
50% - Nav-2-dvd converter
50% - JBL or Focal replacement speakers (will get at 3% above cost either way)
40% - Upgraded Front drivers seat (if the SC ever comes out)
As you can see, after selling my modded CBR, all performance efforts have now been focused on the ride. I'm sure there maybe more, but for the most part, after the above is installed, she's done and I'll drive the sh*t out of it for the next 5-6 years until gas gets so expensive, I'll revert to a battery powered 3-wheeled car with some sort of space bubble for the windshield and carbon-fibered solar panels LOL!

C'mon ABP! I know there's some ballerz out there who probably use this car as their beater. What's another $2-3k for the ronjon kit in ABP gonna hurt?

I'll try and post a single daytime pic for those that are interested in a clearer shot of the rims. For the price I payed, way better deal compared to the RJ Devotions, HSC, multipieced rims, etc. Look completed and handles/performs great for street use (hasn't been tested on track yet).
Still a work in progress, so would like to show pics when everything's finally done.

On top of all the performance mods for my own pleasure, it's icing on the cake when for a 31 year old such as myself, I get compliments from 16-18 year olds on one end, from 40+ on the other, and from truck drivers (still surprises me!).
Once this car is done, next project is a Jeep CJ7, pre-80's Ford Bronco, or if cash flow permits - land rover defender. But who knows, maybe I'll say screw all that and get the latest kick a$$ sportbike!
BTW, any pics of the rockblocker tints yet?

My ABP A-SPEC all tinted.
Well guys, at long last I have finished putting the tints on all the lights using Rockblocker's fine products.
Here are some pics:
Before:
And after:
Front view showing blue tinted headlights:
Tinted front side markers off then on:
Taillight off then on:
Blue tinted headlight and Smoked tail and sidemarker up close:
Sorry if some of the pix are slightly out of focus. I took them quickly.
