did my first real mod last night. Got some new sylvania ultrabright white headlight bulbs. These will do me tell i have the money to do an HID by the end of themonth.

i already had new wheels put on but i won them, and i dont exactly like them so i'm putting the wheels that came with the car on. and if anyone can tell me which car they came off of i would be very happy

new wheels


old wheels



right now i'm also working on doing my own BFI but very simple just to get my bearings with it down before i start making covers and what not

i'll post a DIY with pics when i get that done

now to the headlights.

to show the difference i put the stock bulb inthe drivers side, and the new bulb in the passenger side

these pictures may make it hard to see..i'll take clearer pictures tonight





BTW i'm only sixteen..thats whats been taking me so long :P next on my list of to do's is to get a 97 front and rear bumper


edit:

BFI is a no go. But i did remove the snorkel and used some plastic to make a path for the air to come in through and into the intake. talked to my parents. say i might have to sell the car when i go to college or store it. I plan on storing it so i have to buy another car so i'm saving up my money for a 2-3k truck but HID's are coming up next. They said if i keep the car through college i can do whatever i want to it but i have to keep it somewhat stock through highschool. And i cant drive the tahoe to college because now its my moms daily until we can afford to get her a new car.
Pretty much it goes: Dad getting a new truck, 2009 Ram-> then mom getting a new car, most likely a MB C class-> Jack modifying his car (may need to sell down the road). But if my dad does get a new ram, he may sell his for dirt cheap (178k miles) or give it to me. I'm hoping he gives it to me so i can drive the truck to school work and back

Also, cleaned her up some more but found some scratches that i need to get removed and i'm getting some nasty swirls. jeez first the stereo goes out, now i need to get my cars paint done. Man this car has gotten costly lately.

now for the pics!

products used: Meguiars ULTRA quik detailer
Meguiars Hot Rims, NXT Insane shine and microfiber towels. Man these wheels are a real biotch to clean

befores. These were just after washing the car

 

For your 17th birthday buy a camera and do some reading .

Nice clean car for a young'un. Take care of it.

PS- go back to the old wheels.

 

lol my camera is an 8.2 MP, but i was just going point and click, didn't use the tripod i will tonight!

and a book for what? :S lol

 

i agreee...ur old wheels looked better. but dang u only 16?! nice car though man, looking to doing my own BFI soon, but might just cover it from the top and thats it cuz i'm too lazy, haha. seeing that it all does the same thing because the filter prevents anything from getting in. =P

Peace out

 

thanks for the compliments old wheels are going back on in a bout 2 weeks when it gets a bit warmer in NE.

1 out of 2 sc's in my county of 50k people

every day people will drive up next to me just to ask how old i am, what year the car is, how much i paid for it ect.

its a sweet lifestyle

going to problem is gonna be the hard part thought.

I plan on either going to UNL or Florida, either way i'm storing the car and buying a cheap honda or truck as a DD wherever i go.

in a few years this bad boy is gonna be worth TONS of money

 

Looks like the old wheels are from a ES330.

 

that's a big difference and improvement in headlight bulbs. i think i need some like that for my car.

 

I just bought the same bulbs. Much better than what was in there previously but still no match for hid's

 

Looks like a clean car. The es wheels look pretty good on the SC body.

Off topic, but you can get a $5/$10 rebate on those sylvania silverstars/ultra at your local Checker/Kragen/Schucks auto stores:

We're talking about the dim lights right?

 

dude, where do you live? In the middle of 100 acres? Ive never seen SC pics so out 'in the country', nice change from the concrete jungle. Clean SC=young SC.
