Ok so the car needed an alignment and new tires, plus this morning when I got to work I had a flat.....so since I already had wheels in the closet for at least a year BEFORE I had the car, I decided to just put them on. The coilovers are on Backorder until early January.....But at least I had a little surprise in the mail box...Enjoy, feel free to criticize if you think you must......I have broad shoulders, I can take it

Default Minor Cosmetic Surgery

Just when u think about other reasons for driving your car, u go and get a K&N FPIK intake......................then u order a set of Megan EZ but they don't come in with the shipment , and instead u get a good deal on a set of LP's.................meet up with some crazy guy named Ed (AKA Lexforlife)one Sunday afternoon, and get them installed All the while drooling over his SC..... And when the install is finished u take a look at your car and start smiling like u just got away with the last cookie....test drive is DREAMY!!!!!!!!!!!! stance is DREAMY...and u know it still has to settle!!!!!!!!!! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............I think I need to go get something from TARGET!!!! don't NEED anything but................. More pics to come after I get the alignment and give her a wash. Next up Exhaust!!!!!!!! TANABE vs HYPERMAX............hmmmmmmmmmmmm, decisions, decisions

I love it against the tan, the stitching is tan on the seats...SWEEEEETTTT!!!!!!!!! I may change the woodgrain to black wood, if I can find a complete set cheap!! The carpet had to be made for the car, it was like $600

And look what else came today!! I will soon have a few stock items to put up for sale, so standby!!
