I think that should be your next mod on the TL.. Maybe it will distract from all that wheel gap you got going on.. I wonder if he changes out the glow sticks when they fade? Prob so stupid he thinks they stay lit forever

^There you go again about my wheel gap

I'm thinking about taking a cruise down the street before I leave for school in the morning and snap a few more pictures if his car is out there. You've gotta check out the sweet neon tubes under the front and rear bumpers.

^Hahaha I love that aisle in Auto Zone with all of the stickers and shit. I always think "who the fuck would buy this?".

I almost got a set of Betty Boop Floormats on Monday.

So after doing yard work for a few hours yesterday morning, I see the kid with the black Camaro drive down the street, and I notice something on the side of his car. He parks and goes inside so I run down the street and take pictures of what I saw






Yes that's window paint on his door. It's on both sides of the car. He also spray painted his wheels and added a side exhaust. Looks like he wants to be Dale Earnhardt

^ Those look like different wheels then the original pic.

Either way, looks like the glow sticks did not make the cut

Ah yes I forgot to mention that, my apologies. He took the chromies off and put the stock Z28 wheels back on. Then proceeded to spray paint them black.

I think you should consider getting some springs. A nice subtle 1.2" drop will make the car look great.

Or at least debadge the car.

At first I thought the kid might've gone to the track. Then I saw the paint running off the top of the 3.

They allow cars at the special olympics? Wouldn't that be dangerous?

I dunno, I'd say it's probably more like overly-gelled spiky hair, with a popped collar..

but that's just me.

I agree 100% but my dad thinks other wise. We got the AWD so just incase we have shitty weather, we can get out of just about anything. Lowering the car would reduce ground clearance which he doesn't want, especially if we have snow or something like that. We traded in an Explorer Sport Trac for the G, so we sacrificed ground clearance in the first place, so I doubt he is willing to lose even more. Trust me, I want it lowered, but it's not my car

I've discussed de-badging the rear, leaving just the Infiniti emblem and/or the G35x, but I haven't really put that plan into action yet. I'm sure it will get done eventually. I'm really trying to get him an intake.

I don't think he even qualifies for the special olympics.

So saying the guy has a screw loose is not a euphemism?

OMG...how did I miss this thread? Glowsticks? WTF!!!

This is probably the same kind of guy who puts those OTC cheapo LEDs in his taillights and wonder why they don't look really bright like factory LEDs.

^Greenhope actually. So did I, but I don't put that dumb shit on my car. It's hard to believe that I'm only a year older than he is yet I'm not that stupid and immature.

I'll be checking his car out in a few days to see what other "sweet additions" he may have added. I saw him under the rear part of the car yesterday afternoon doing something; most likely adding more neon tubes

I live in Cary, North Carolina. It's right outside of Raleigh, the state capitol, pretty much smack dab in the middle of the state. It's actually a really nice area which is growing like crazy. I swear not everybody around here is like the dumbass down my street.

So I was talking to my parents about the number 3 painted on the side of his car and my mom said that there is some movie that the guy is evil and his car is black with a number 3 on the side and he drives around terrorizing people. The kid did that for Halloween I guess and that's why the 3 is on both sides of his car. Does anybody have any idea what movie that was? I think it's bullshit to be honest, but that's what my mom said he told her
