She's Ugly to Me

i never really liked posting pictures of my car because i never thought they were good enough... STILL need complete the entire car before i really drive it again. i only put 3k miles for this entire year so far, just because i never really liked the look of my car or never thought it was good enough to share

current mod list:
type-s aspec front lip
type-s oem quads stage 1
type-s rear bumper
tinted taillights
vleds type 1 switchbacks
morimato 6k hid
ddm slim ballast 3k fogs
3k foglight vinyl overlay
roof overlay
6k entire led
tein basic coilovers (raised quiet a lot before showing it to the insurance company lol!)
cleared and blacked out headlights
spc rear camber kit
ingalls from camber kit
aem intake
oem window visors

mods to do
aspec body kit (ordering monday just been so lazy lol)
aspec decklid spoiler
wheels looking to get something like 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 algernon intellesse in a black chrome kinda thing, or vs-xx burning black, or maybe something more vip...
tint!


REASONS WHY SHE IS UGLY:
i did a pretty fucked up job with vinyl overlay, you just cant tell from pictures lol..
some fucker kicked my door leaving a fat dent and keyed it too. IN A RANDOM PARKING LOT. never went there again
one 3k high fog light is slightly more yellow than the other.
shes not complete yet..


well here are the pics just of everything ive done so far































hope you guys like it. wont be a long time before i actually finish the car =/ no money

"What did I tell you about eating those brownies, son..."

lol... You're worse than my wife when trying to get her to find the right outfit before going out on a Saturday night.

Your car is better looking than mine. I would have liked to have seen some more daytime shots as well.

he has the aspec kit, no more flaps!

Looking good, if you consider that ugly I'd hate to hear what you would have to say about the new 4G TL! Maybe time for some new wheels in the future?

o yeah i know your car is a base but i just didnt understand your "mods to do list" cuz u said aspec body kit.. so your getting the type s aspec rear kit and sides i assume? you should just go for the type s rear decklid instead of the aspec, it looks wayyy better IMO

Or, at the very least, perhaps some spacers for the OEM wheels until you get the wheels of your choice. It's no secret that I'm all for the OEM wheels, but I'm now convinced that if your going to lower your car and keep the stock alloys for any amount of time, an investment in spacers to give it that more aggressive look can't hurt. I've had to add that mod to my to-do list since aftermarket wheels for my ride are far from a guarantee.

Really, you have a great looking car. We all have flaws that drive us nuts. Sounds like you are definitely not happy on how your roof turned out. You would be surprised how unnoticeable the flaws will be in photos, as long as you don't take point-blank shots of the imperfections. I, on the other hand, would actually like to see the bad things. We all are guinea pigs in the car-modding world with each project that we take on, and seeing these errors may actually help somebody prevent from doing the same thing later on down the road. So, on that note, MOAR DAYTIME PICS!

yeah i really was considering getting spacers, but i think i might just save up and go straight for wheels. i like the look of 0 camber all around when its slammed already, but yeah spacers = SUPER sexy especially when it has a little poke to it. but i dont think my oem rims are nice, rather just get something good the first time right?!
