Listerman's Profile - 9/25 - The Beginning



+



+

All opinions are welcome....

Please dont overload with the "That **** needs dropped." The car was supposed to be paired with a set of Eibach Sportlines which I ordered but the shop thought I wanted the Pro-Kit. So it sat at the shop Friday night, after I just got it back from 2 weeks of paint, and they call me 8am Saturday to make sure I wanted the Pro-Kit. Thank god they called. I yelled and hollered for awhile at them and decided screw that it isnt getting me anywhere.

Only reason the shop was doing install was because they screwed up my wheel order twice and cut me a huge deal on install, alignment, and the springs. Now I will be doing it myself because I dont trust them doing any sort of work on my car if they can't even order parts right.

The car will be at the Columbus, OH Meet on October 21, 2006 if you want to see it.

I will be adding to this post instead of starting new threads all the time.

definitly needs a new front bumper and some nice fogs. Also, RK Sport 3-piece spoiler would look totally sweet!

Because high school kids and money are a dangerous combination. You'd be taking a HUGE chance that a random wing would end up on the sunroof and each wheel would be painted a different color....

I do believe it could use a different front bumper but if I keep this stock look going no one will expect the boost...

And yes I will be turbo'ing this car.... Goal of 250 on a gt28rs "Disco Potato" for daily driving and auto-x

the wheels are brand new from Axis and I have always loved a bigger rear dish so I had to pick them up, especially since they are very similar to polished. as for the headlights, i will probably do them with WickedSS and do them very similar to his except where he left chrome i will go Sunburst Orange.

so you saying for the headlights, you would make the chrome ring around them orange? that would be sweet. put everything black.
