Default LRoy430ul's New Mods

Some of you all might remember when I got my car back in Feb 09.

Here's a stock pic


I installed the Datasystem controller and set to L





I got a set of 20x9" 20x10" Maya DX2's which are the same as Trafficstar DTX's












I received the billet grill as a gift, I originally wanted the JDM emblemless one.







Next on the list are JDM visors

Forget the grille: Too heavy and bad quality. I bought the same and removed it immediately. Stock grilles in chrome are available and not expensive. Look for Lgrilles at http://stores.ebay.com/Lgrilles

ahahahaaa, sorry man but it reminds me of some stuff that i went through a while back. if she's not into cars she prolly won't notice as long as you do it quick and don't wait 6 months like i did. plus don't let her see the package sitting at the front door either,, again like i did

good luck on that one man,
