It's been a while since I've posted up pics of the progress

In the beginning...




Painted the interior...I've since painted the wheel trim and window switches but no pics of that.


Kicker 7 speaker


Tint


G5 Gauges


Injen and Strut tower brace....yes I know the brace is useless.


Sound damping to cut the vibs


TTR sway bar


Projos and new wheels and tires


Debadged and tinted tails


It's a little dirty


It's sittin a little high right now but that will be taken care of shortly thanks to some Progress springs


Overall I'm happy with it...for now

I've always been a fan of windshield banners. It's a regional thing I've realized. Hardly anyone around here has them but where I used to live in Iowa they were popular.

The sub vibrating the deck lid skin was ridiculously annoying and the spray on sound damper reduced it A LOT. I would say at least and 80% reduction.

They work for now. Soon they will be painted. I'm thinking black spokes/red lip.

It's not for looks...it does what it's supposed to do. You can hardly tell there's a sub from the outside now unless the windows are down.

Not sure. That would be good to cover up the uglyness haha. I guess it's never really bothered me too much though. It's not a show car at this point but maybe down the road.

A little but if you get a quality banner that uses good vinyl it's not much of a problem. I've had it on for a little over a year and there are a few places where it's come off but they're very small and not really noticable at a glance.

Okay, he didn't say "Come and post **** that you don't like about my car" you ******* dick-blade. Didn't your mother ever tell you that if you don't have something nice to say then don't say anything?

Everyone has their own taste in cars, otherwise we would all be driving the same ******* car like half of the ******* on this site who follow every trend like it's a goddamn commandment, so get nailed *****.

Haha maybe a little harsh but I am looking for opinions but I've already said that I like the banner so it's staying for now so ya that comment is getting old.

apparently you were unable to comprehend the part where I said "opinion". Do you need a dictionary to figure out the definition?

everyone has their own opinion, and are entitled to it, "The right to free speech" How they go about expressing that is up to the individual person.

or were you again unable to comprehend anything I just said
