Upgrades!! Upgrades!! Upgrades!!

Well last time i posted pictures she was new to me, and completely stock with 133k miles... Went to Afgahnistan for 7 months, and was in a toss up with getting a different car or just getting parts for her.. Decided to keep her and im glad i did, even if she just rolled over 150k... But she is still going strong as ever!!

Here is a couple pictures of the other day after a wash and wax, front bumper didn't get done because to be honest the paint is about cashed.

Oh and sorry about the pics, the GF took them haha. I said i wanted pics, and was going to drive around looking for places but she decided pulling out of the garage was far enough... More photos soon...









Thanks for looking!

Haha thanks, that was 7 hours of sweat, only part I didn't do was the front bumper.... Thinking of just getting a new paint job and calling it done.

Nice ride bro, but ditch the side molding, and like what NBP_Aspec_05 said about the sidemarkers & smoke them . 150k still looking good, paint the front bumper & get some serious detailing TLC for the rest of the car for swirls/lines & should look fresh again.

Car looks great...no need to repaint the whole thing...get the front bumper done if you like and just detail the rest of the car. It'll come right back to it's original glory. Also...direct sun shots are BRUTAL on NBP. Don't ask how I know.
And yes, thank you for your service.

Fully agree, i have seen and fixed much worse back paint. You just need a good buff! The front cover is a different story haha. i would just replace it with a 07-08 cover. most shops will charge you an arm and a leg to sand all that off just to repaint it!

Yep... Thanks for spending your time overseas taking care of business for the rest of us...

Love the car. For 150k on the clock with NBP paint, I'd say it looks pretty damn good. I would love to see the door moldings removed, an A-spec front lip, a rear lip spoiler and also the ass-end debadged. To finish her off, some spacers for the wheels for the flush look.

Drew-thanks for serving. Glad you're back. I'm not even going to give you a hard time about the sticker in the back window either.....

Rock it how you like it!
