Your car looks good with the painted stockers... Did you do it yourself? Pretty clean job, and once you drop it, it will look SIIIICKKK... Good job bro.

PEACE!

WDP is really the only color that can pull off painted stockers.

Car looks awesome!

Looks good!! You should get the license plate caps so your front bumper doesn't look like it's staring at me

Sorry to double post, but is that air intake that you have custom made??? I was looking for something similar to yours that doesn't sit in the perfect spot for puddle water to get sucked in....

Looks great man. I feel you on that 4x4 status haha, but your car is going to look great once it's slammed

Get some bumper plugs for the front bumper as well. I heard they are crazy pricey for little pieces of plastic, but it will help out I think.

its all about the krylon touch! two coats of primer and about four coats of flat black. get a couple decks of playing cards, wedge them in the bead of the wheel and tire, scuff with fine scotch-brite, wipe down, spray.

all i did was go to my local exaust guy and dug through his scrap pile and grabbed a piece of 3" tubing and wrapped it in exhaust heat wrap. i used a 3" intercooler coupler to attatch the tubing to the throttle body. then bought a 3" filter at the auto parts store. total cost was about $40 and the sound is pretty loud and then you hit vtech and wow! my olnly complaint about the intake is on hot days, there is a noticable power loss due to the high intake temp. and once the intake gets hot, it stays hot for awhile.

That doesn't sound too bad. Maybe I'll try that instead of spending $300 for CAI

what grit did you use when sanding? and you painted the WHOLE rim or just the outside. sounds like you maybe used 2 or 3 cans of flat black then eh?

I agree with Riga. Grab some license plate plugs for your front bumper Black/White. It takes away from the look of a well thought out set of mods like yours.
