Just cleaned the Balt

EDIT-Had this in the wash & shine, but figured it'd fit better here. So deleted that thread.

Finally got around to washing her. It's been raining alot & too cold to wash until today. I have alot of things in mind that I still wanna do to her, just can't seem to find the parts I want. The pics were taken with my iPhone 3GS, so they are not the best lol.

Also, I'm debating if I should paint my rims gold, because when I had new tires put on they chipped alot of the paint around my rim. Opinions?

Future Mods:
TC Grille (found the lower, buying it this week. need upper)
Front Lip
B&G Springs
Turbo Kit (currently saving for)
Black Painted stock headlights.

I do need a center cap for my back passenger tire, so if you have a spare let me know! lol. Or also if you have any of those listed above that I need, beside the turbo kit.

Thanks!

Too cold, man come on up to Michigan. Every time I wash my car it ends up covered in a sheet of ice and I can barely see to exit the wash bay for all the fog. This morning was fog, ice, rain, snow and slush. Oh but the car looks nice, I have been wanting to do my front end like that with flat black, and the peace sign makes me think of the shocker, haha. Keep the wheels black, the black and red theme is classic.

Funny you say that. The headlights I'm going to do. Would prefer to buy them done though, because I dont have time for that right now lol. The rear bowtie I have mixed emotions about. I started to take it off, and then stopped lol. And I tried getting my antenna out, & it won't come off at all.

I'm trying desperately to find some B&G's on here. Would prefer to get them here, as to buying them brand new. Can't really afford that right now.

Yeah I took mine off too and was happy with the result, if you don't like the no bowtie look you can always buy a black one cheap. That would go with your color scheme a lot better than gold.

It's an 08. I've tried different days to get it off. Pliers & all no luck. I may just cut the damn thing. I never listen to the radio, I use pandora

Yeah if anything I think a cf wrapped one would look dope. I want to repaint my front one. It's all red, but I wanna change it to a red outline, with a black center

True, I may do that. But I cant wrap my front one, it'd look weird since my crossbar is painted black.

The front bowtie looks good red since the bar is black but would look better with the red outline you were talking about. Just break out the dental floss and get rid of the rear one!!!

I like the evo mod, I just need the front lip ASAP. but if I get the front lip, then I might get rid of the evo mod & paint the lip black. I wonder how that would look.

The color doesn't matter, as I'd probably paint it black I think
