Default Trinimoe's intro and progress

Been on this site for close to 2 years now and never really introduce myself, all I do is lurk take the information and run with it like a thief ...made a handful of threads here and there but not as much as some of u guyz on here......anywaysss bought my car in 2010, one of my golds in life was to buy a car at age 20, wasn't to sure what type of car it was gonna be until one day i saw a junction produce 2nd gen gs and fell in love with it. Searched for months until I found a color that u don't see that often, didn't know the name of the color at the time, all i knew It would set me aside from all the other common colors out there. Called the guy up , his asking price was $9800, the car had 88k on it and was in mint condition the only problem I had was that i didn't have enough. All i had was 9k and some negotiation skills that i picked up from dad while growing up. To cut a long story short I got the car for $9200 and drove it home with a smile







When I thought all was well, two months later I lost my job and all my plans were shattered, took me a year to find another one but I'm back on my feet and this is how she sits now (excuse the iphone pics)






UPDATE POST #41

thanks , the wheels are Linea Corse Dynas, specs are 19 x 8.5f +28 and 19 x 10r +20, dropped on EZ street coilovers, some of my other plans are to beef up the front suspension a bit (lower ball joints, tie rods, bushings etc), get a tte or rep lip, paint the right side because some hating *** fool keyed it and swap out some interior parts....list might increase as time go by

Beautiful car. Good to hear things are looking up. I know what you mean, I got to a point where I wanted to treat myself to a great car and decided on a Lexus (why not the best, right?). Looking forward to seeing future mods, so far super tasteful. I love my platinum, but like that colour even more.

Thanks, kept it like that because of the color, wouldn't mind getting the s-class Benz tint or something close to it, think someone on the forum told me about a tint called "hyper optic drea" that's the only tint I'll get
