Riceburner January FCOTM

Adam V
Winfield Illinois
22 years old
2006 Supercharged, Ultra Silver Metallic, moon roof, XM.
Just hit 60000 miles, runnin like a champ!

Ok first heres me. Im 22 working full time as an engineer. Part time going to school.

Ive owned the car for two 1/2 years now. Got it bone stock.

Instantly decided i wanted to mod it. As i started doing small things the overall plan for my car started to take place.

I want it to be a street car. Something that doesnt look too far from stock, but as clean as possible. I want most aspects of the car to be modified to the same extent others are, so i want a nicely well rounded package with a mildly modded interior, engine bay, suspension and exterior.

I have touched all corners of the car to get it just about where i want it. Enough power to play with but not break the tires loose every time i wanna punch 2nd gear. Loud enough to hear that m62 scream as the hunkered down ss cuts through the backroads of the county. But not loud enough to get dirty looks from grown enthusiasts and police. I made the interior accomidate all of my needs for an interior that it didnt have before, except a nice gps headunit. It now feels and drives the same way it looks like it should. I like the red gauges and lights at me at night. And most of all, its great to have a car that many just dont understand, and therefore underestimate, then knock their socks off on a quick street pull.

Now, im gonna own this car for a while, and will likely never be satisfied with modding it. So well see where my power goals wind up over the next few years, so stay tuned. As of now my goal is 300 wheel.

it's 35% visibility in front and 20% visibility in the rear. In Illinois they keep changing the laws but right now i think the only limit is the front, which can't be darker than either 30% or 35% visibility so i'm good.

Having it a little darker in the rear just works for the whole look i think. It definately cools the car in the summer. Only pain is reversing at night, i can't see ****. Makes me consider doing HID's in the reverse lights lol
