Zapa's Build Thread
 
So I figured this thread is a little late to come but here it is. A history of my car including all The good times, the bad times, and everything in-between.This car has soo many memories and I have actually learned a lot for her and all of you fools. I would like to say she has out lasted three girls. They all thought I loved my car more than them. :)... they were probably right about that. I remember saying I was sick to my gf to not catch crap about to go to the north meets south meet. Good times good times. So without further gilding the lily and with no more ado, I give to you, my mistress

I bought my car CPO 2008 with 27,4XX miles a little more than 2 years go.

Completely stock. Not for long :)

Thanks man and well done figuring out where those last pictures were taken. I leave for college in 10 days, but we need to do a mini meet at American Indoor Karting before I leave.

So VBB and Fasttexasz we need to set a date!!

Nice progress thread! I lol'd at the picture of you flexing and holding up your headers, haha! I also didn't know you got your fenders rolled/flared. The stance and the detail job both look great and your personal favorite picture is definitely a quality pic.

As for plans, I didn't even realize how fast the summer has gone. I'd be down for an AIK/Dave&Busters combo meet sometime next weekend perhaps. I've been lazy in trying to plan it because I've been pretty busy on the weekends lately with family stuff and trying to get my golf game in order. :D

Car looks so sick bro. Great work

Thank you and there is over 20 hours of polishing into her.... But the pic of me holding my headers was actually inspired by DCOOLBEANS. And I am game for next weekend! Boma and Chip you all down?

I like the way the stock wheels look actually, but eventually they will be replaced. I am saving up for so ADV5.01s. It may be a little while though... I have been trying to get a sponsorship also. We will see how that turns out.

And thank you all for the kind words
