car looks good, I like that you supercharged it. But loose that driveway pic, and there is no need to post a before. Just post up why people should vote for it now.

I like that it is blacked out.

Sorry it’s nothing against you bud, it usually takes my a couple days after the voting is done, but I have been spending some more time with family lately since my wife’s grandma is in the hospital and she only has a few weeks to live.

yea i understand. it was just that it was a long time since you put it up there and you usually don't take as long to do so. but sorry to hear about your wife's grandma. family is more important tho.

Looks Good
nice set u
but not diggin the side mirrors:lol:

yea well the mirrors were only 40 bucks on ebay and i didn't like the ones i had. they looked to big for the car. but thanks for the compliment on the car.

the tail lights are already blacked out. i put a black tranparent film on them. and i don't really like the l.e.d. lights. and this is not just a show car. i put a supercharger on it also so it has the go too.

Love your car man. How does it ride on the Aerospeeds? I want something close to stock, I don't want my 10 months old little girl to get whiplash from a pebble in the road. lol

stenguyen1

04-29-2009, 08:30 AM

the ride is kinda rough at times. but thats wat you get with a 2/2.5 drop. they are really consistant ride. and they are kinda stiff also. i love them they been on my car for like 2 in a half years now
