Default PlatinumIS Mod Thread.

I got the car on December 17th, 2009 and have slowly been modding it.

In the first month i did some minor stuff which i think makes the car stand out more.

First day: Window tint




Got my roof vinyled black. (Having it redone as well as the thin strips on the side)




Got my emblems painted Matte black.







Got Redouts.

Had my HID fogs installed. (Next week wil have my HID headlights put it)


I will be updating this posted as I mod.

Yeah, they are on the list. Next is a spoiler and paint my grille.

I will not black out my headlights or tail lights, the only thing i would do, is light smoke on my tails, but thats later on if i red sick of red.

Coilovers, wheels, and maybe exhaust will be done soon.

19s or 20s? still cant decide.

I kind of agree but i think 20s look good with a kit, so the wheels dont make the car look like its a 4x4.

Im thinking 19s with a drop. Maybe coilovers

Your car is coming along nicely. I like the black-out treatment and black roof.
