Default I never really introduced myself. pics inside.

Hello. Since I never really introduced myself, I figure I'll go ahead and do it
My names Mitchell, 16 (going to be 17 next month), and from Pittsburgh, PA. I'll do anything I can to learn about cars.

A little story behind the car. My cousin bought it in 05 completely stock after selling his 240sx. Over time that he had it, I admired it more and more. He did all the current mods on the car. In april of 07 he traded he gs in on a 08 "highest package" Tahoe. Around feb of last year I was looking on ebay for a GS for my first car. And well, I found it and it was about 20 minutes from my house. So my mom and I went down, she test drove it and decided to buy it. When I bought it with about 42k miles. It had the stock hood and wheels on it. In a conversation I had with my cousin, I ended up buying the EXE 20's and a carbon fiber hood he had for the car which he took off and was trying to sell.

My current mods are
Body Kit: vertex
rod millen 3 peice wing
fiber image cf hood
srt intake
tanabe super medallion exhaust
tanabe dress up df210 springs
trd racing grill
eclipse avn 5435 Nav
2 sets of diamond audio componets
kicker comp 10" in deck sub
jl audio 300-4 amp
Wheels: 20" exe konkave 20x8.5 and 20x9.5
Tires: nitto 555r 245/35/20 and 275/30/2
Tint: 20% side windows.
tinted tail lights as well.

My future mods are (mostly in order and incomplete)
Na-T (about 400hp)
Coilovers
Trunk stereo set-up


So heres the way the car stands as of today.






These are with different wheels and stock hood:






And if anyone would like to make me a sig pic i'd be more than greatful



Thanks for looking
