Alright, after I finished installing my new hood pins today, I grabbed my digital camera and took a few snapshots of it since it was light outside for a change. check it out at this page:

you need a turbo. fuck rims...dont care for the dodge viper racing stripes thingy..but whatever floats your boat. and why do you have hoodpins on a stock hood? I like being honest unlike some people on this board. your car is 'ok'.. i'd give it a 6 outta 10. and no my car isn't great. i'd give my car a 1 outta 10 for being such a pain in the ass to work on.

Hey at least your honest. i"m cool with that, I would personally give it a 5 out of 10 on a good day, cause I have so many things I want to do to it including:

Cosmetically:
1. new paint job
2. rims and 1.5-2 inch drop
3. drift front bumper with Blitz sides and rear bumper
4. gtr style spoiler
5. new carbon fibre hood (VIS Invader)
6. Leather Seats

Internally:
1. HRC Stage 2 kit
2. a little N2O action
2. Manual tranny swap
3. Greddy evo exhaust

and all that other good shit like cams, P&P jobs on the intake and exhaust mani's, 60mm TB, blah blah blah.. the list could go on for ages

Unfortunately I'm just a poor Missourian bitch..... Someday when I have the money to blow, my car will be badass. someday....

The chevy bowtie on the cav in your driver side mirror threw me off for a minute. I was like WTF. But I like the black yellow theme...the wide stripes are a bit much but the interior looks cool. My car is dark green and I'm going to and do have some yellow accent's...idunno I think it looks cool:thumbsup

d00d, I hope I don't sound like a dick or anything but your car is so F-U-B-A-R imo. That thing would be so hard/expensive/time consuming to make it look good to me. But as long as you like it its all good. BTW, run your wires through the fire wall d00d.

hey i remember having 14" rims, cut him some slack, he's just getting started. The interior is nice.

on the interior I used White Krylon primer, followed by a few layers of "Sun Yellow" Krylon spray paint, and this badass Krylon crystal glaze shit that makes it shiny as glass. The pictures dont do it a justice really. Highly recommend it.

The interior looks great! How many coats of that krylon crystal glaze did you put...And they sell that stuff at walmart? I painted my interior white and used duplicolor clear coat and the finish sux...I want it to be shiny like yours...Mad props on the work you've done so far.

I used 2 coats of the krylon clear coat. I'm not sure what constitutes a coat though. I sprayed the stuff on until it was think enough that a hazy color formed in the clear coat. once the cloudy look was attained I let it sit overnight in my garage and by morning it came out looking like glass. Pretty sweet.

Yeah the stuf fis available at my local wally world anyway. I was looking at the duplicolor stuff, when I looked at the very tiop of the shelf and found a couple cans of this stuff. It was a little pricier, ($2.90) a can but it was worth every penny IMO.

Yea your interior is great. Oh yea InvaznGST you have my favorite car on these forums. I wanted black but I got red instead. :( I sometimes think about painting my interior I dunno tho.

I think it looks koo man. :thumbsup

I too used to have 14" rims, but then Uber sold the Enkeis he bought from run4cvr to ajna_star and he told me to give them back. :( Now I still have 14s, but they're the ones that hide behind hubcaps. I like em tho.

A trick you could try until you get rollers is to maybe paint those wheels black. I think it would give your car a tougher, more aggressive look. IMO. ;)

Keep up the hard work. :thumbsup
