Okay - So Here Is Mine...

I know I know.. Another Black SS/TC -

Took delivery Monday, had er' debadged and detailed Tuesday (car had been on the lot for 311 days) which for a Black car is not good. Got most of the surface scratches out but still have some deep stuff to get cut/buffed - Wednesday was tint day/take front braket day off (thanks Rissa for the explaination), today (Thursday) is H&R Lowering Spring Day/exhaust day.

Going from an H3 to this has been great - loving the car and yet, only have put 200 miles on it.

I am not going to go w/ aftermarket headlamp units - I like the stock look. I will be doing LED bulbs in both headlights and foglights. As far as tails, I really wish there was an outer set to match the inner set w/ red and clear (no Altezza style).

As far as wheels, I would really like to find a set of HHR SS Polished 18's - however am looking into just polishing my stock SS/TC's. Also, looking to powdercoat brakes red. I like the way red looks when the wheels are spinning...

May be a little different direction, but I don't really want to murder mine out...

License Plate "PSI FED" is on order

Nope - looked at HID and still considering them, however, look at the LED headlight bulb technology.. looks interesting...!

Go onto Ebay and look up LED Bulbs... Hell they are only about $37.00 so if they are trash or look bad.... I will toss them. I would rather put my $$ into other things. I wrote in $1200 for leather, but it wold seem as though Katzkin and Classic Soft Trim don't like the SS/TC seats because they don't have a kit for them.

Black was not my first choice due to the reasons I posted above however, the car is tit$$ when clean... Red and Yellow were first choice.

Super stoked! On the rack now getting lowered! Anybody with H&R chime in on the ride.. Suspension is stiff now. Being lower I am sure will only make it that much better...

Let me know...

Much stiffer!! Watch out for dips, railroad tracks, potholes, driveways lol. It'll get better as you put more miles on it though and I try to avoid shitty roads all together.
