thanks man
lol well it may be the same red used in caddies, but its still not my thing, I didn't say it looked bad, I just really dont like painted interiors, probably because all my cars prior to this one had painted interiors, I'm just sick of it now.

I actually dont mind the satin nickel or whatever it is in the cobalts, but if I could have my interior redone it'd be all black .

Sorry just how i call it, but its an opinion and everyone is entitled to their own.

I only say this because i expected much better for a tax returns thread:

My tax return thread will have:
FXR 50w retros with E55 Shrouds
going about 1.5" lower
SRS catback
led tail lights
7" double din
2.4 manifold
and dont forget 7" headrest Tv's with ps2!
How the H*** is Gen 4s Rice?..
I had to scratch my head on that one!

^^Well, this thread was riding that fine line between constructive criticism and insulting before this guy came along.

Not only did you completely bash this guy, but you managed to hijack his thread to hock your own gay-ass ricer mods.

Check it out:
-Gold car = gay (driven primarily by octogenarians - usually on Buick's)
-Black stock wheels = gay (wow, think that color combo up on your own, way to be original)


Furthermore, out of your "arsenal" of "rad" income tax mods you plan on doing you have two, that's right, TWO, that are performance oriented. Headrest TVs???? Listen, Xzibit, next time you call someone rice, make sure you don't fit the mold.

well the car is gold theres nothing i can do there, it was my girls, when we had our first kid I bought her a 2011 camry and took over her payments.

the wheels are 16" enkeis with wider tires, they are NOT stock nor do they look stock at all. And the headrest tv's and ps2 are for my two kids in the back, not sure how that is rice. i dont want to put an xbox or something in my car that will face hot temps in summer and cold in winter, not to mention probably would get stolen.

and its a personal preference, maybe gen 4's look better on another car but they just add to the rice bowl in my opinion on this car.

and my car is a LS it cost my girl bought it last year for $10k and im paying it off next month, its cheap transportation that I want to make look a bit better, It has 145 hp and i coudnt care less about hp. its not fast and wont be at the MOST i was going to grab a 2.4 intake for $100. If i wanted a fast car id get a SS/tc in a second, but i chose to buy a house instead of get a nicer car.

i gotta say i don't get you at times man, you're gonna put tv's in for the kids in the back which is ok by me cuz ya do whatever to make them happy ya know.... but on other threads you want to slam your car and don't really worry about how harsh everything is gonna be, whiplash for the kids in the back? personally i wouldnt even have my eibach pro's on my car if i had kids to drive around...

edit: here's a pic of my new interior, $22 bucks for a 48" x 24" sheet of CF vinyl and i didn't even use it all... personally i like this look so much better than painted trim

if you're really interest in doing a wrap check out These carbon fiber sheets simulate the look of carbon fiber used on auto and motorcycles, also consumer electronics. the possibilities are endless. it came out good but there are a couple contours that i couldnt get absolutely perfect but they are hidden so i just did them the best i could

I like the red but I see how everyone thinks I need to tone it down some. I think Im just going to paint the door handles and window controls black and see how it turns out then maybe just go after a wrap kit.. Thanks for the info

interior looks good man! tv's for the kids is only for long drives, only time they ride in the car is long drives because my girls camry is a lease, and i dont have to take them in it if I dont want.

and yes ive had some mixed up ideas about suspension. yea I want to be slammed and yes i do have to be realistic about the family, so its probably never going to happen, im going to get new struts and see how good that helps if not im going get pedders, because stock ride height is just too high.

it's adhesive on the back, just heat it up a little bit and smooth it out, if it doesn't go right the first time just peel it up and try again.
