Sedatedsloth's Progress Thread

Hey AZine, here is my progress thread. I was 17 years old when I bought my 2006 Anthracite Metallic 5AT/Navi. I saved most of my paychecks and paid her off fully in cash. She had 119k on the dash and was bone stock. At first I wasn't interested in mods, till I found AcuraZine a few months later.

-January 2013

When I bought her







October 2013

My first "mod." I plasti-dipped my wheels and grill and thought I was cool haha





At this point, I got into some trouble with the law (yay 18 ) so I wasn't focused on spending money on my car.

February 2014

I bought an AEM v2 cai from a member on here and installed it the next day with my friend in the Autozone parking lot.



Once again, long break.

May 2014

Bought a set of base red tails from a good friend of mine for $40, cut em open and tinted the diffuser. Forgot to tint turn signal area



June 2014

Cut open my old base reds and tinted the diffuser AND turn signal area this time



Also peeled the black dip off of my wheels.

Somewhere along the way I dropped my phone and cracked the camera lens, so my pics are blurry and fuzzy.

August 2014

Opened up my headlights, painted the chrome housing semi gloss black, tinted the amber corner, and painted the HID ring red.







Next day I installed a set of Tein SS bought from another member. My friend helped me and we got it done in a few hours.



Upcoming mods:
-Inspire fogs
-A-Spec kit
-Wheels
-Roof and trunk lip spoiler
-Fix dents
-and many more
