That's really the only down side. When ever you make an adjustment you need an alignment. Lucky for me Belle Tire (a local chain here) offers lifetime alignments for $160. So I can get it adjusted when ever I want for the remainder of the time I own the car.

Post pictures padlock who cares it's a base model thread. Shoot i posted my car lowered on hubcaps....that's pretty sad man. If I can show that hillbilly mod then your car would be fine.

well here goes.. from old to current.. shes been thru alot

first: she was in an accident. i bought her and fixed her up to look like this when i first brought her home


then the mod bug started to hit with at first the calipers/trim being red n black bowtie



then tint n grilles



then my first set of retros (which i couldnt seal worth **** so i traded them)



traded them for these plus cash (bad idea)



then tsudo and tinted tails





got an intake used for dirt cheap




winter mode rims, and installed springs




then changed the theme up hardcore.. gold rims, stockers with 5000K HIDs, and gold bowties, black drums and calipers



then got TWM STS




then found gen2's i thought id like but not so much other than the ccfl halos




bought a LSJ mani/dp from this guy off here, in which you can see why i decided i hated the gold rims, that was like a weeks worth of driving and that brake dust was impossible to get off





gold rims sucked so i switched them to black which i now love





retinted the tails darker




fixed my low hanging tsudo
before

after




built retrofits and this time they dont leak.. pretty pumped.. turns out i love these way more than my first set so in the end it all worked out






and this is how she sits now. my mods are now going on under the hood cuz im happy with appearance finally lmao




i will post pics when i get under-the-hood stuff complete.. 2.4IM/TB/tune going on tuesday so ill be fully bolted N/A.. lots of painting going on tho right now lol
wow, that was an epic list of pics haha

yea i have.. i had each set for a specific reason, ive just had odd luck with them causing me to get another different set.. lol but thats finally over with thank god..

as far as the tsudo, i really like how it sounds. the price just makes it that much better. the only thing i can really complain about is i wish the rear "can" wasnt quite so big cuz id prefer something more sleek looking.. and the piping hangs low in the one spot i showed before i fixed it, but it was a cheap fix, esp if you know someone that can weld stainless

all i had to do was cut the pipe right after the resonator and "twist" or "rotated so to speak" the rear pipe section enough to lift the low spot up. i then re-welded the piping back together at that new location and bam! fixed!! lol.. pretty darn simple

no bending or anything like that was needed.. just a cut and a weld

Padlock, car looks pretty good man. I'd lose those grilles though & go either with a SS/TC grille or your stock one.

Here it is brand new


Then came tint, and stereo.





Then interior paint


Then Injen intake, TTR motor mount, trans bushings, strut brace, rsb, ARK antenna. No pics for those.

Then wheels and tinted tails. Painted the wheels black at some point.


Gen2s and custom fog lights.



Somewhere in here I took the TTR motor mount out.

Gen4s. They stayed stock for a couple weeks and then I retrofit RX330s into them.



Then I put TLs in my stock lights.



Next I swapped the steering wheel for a leather one with audio controls. No pics.

Had some issues with the lights so I opened them again and fixed some things and changed up the look. Also got 50w ballasts.



Currently I'm getting rid of the sub box in favor of a stock box with an upgraded sub. Need more room for kid ****. I also have a Powell rotated trans mount waiting to go in to replace the poly bushings. Next on the list is Pedders/TC setup. After that I'm doing Katzkin seat covers. Somewhere along the way i will also be adding a roof rack to accommodate a double stroller since we're trying for a second. Might black vinyl the roof. 2.4 body kit if I find the right price. After all that, I think I'll probably call it done.
