Hi all well this is my daily drifter autocross project im gonna try and keep it simple and a small budget not go over board but i am an import car the car will be slammed stretched and probably have a bubble shifter or some crazyness my car was stock when i bought it but it was only that way for about 8 hours so i dont have a begining pictures but heres the details

Currently done-
chinabay cold air intake got for 15
used pro 5.0 shifter- 30 bucks
chrome 17x9 cobra-free but i hate them so much i dont want them anyone want to buy lol
eibach 3inch springs-120
amber corners-30 bucks
black clear headlights-70r
flowmaster exhaust-20 bucks used
american muscle chin spoiler-uninstalled holiday sale 80 bucks

Future-
escalade pearl white paint in one week wooooootttt
saleen replicas i want so so bad 18x9 18x10
coilovers
led gauge cluster
bubble shifter
dual piston calipers and drilled rotors
find a way for more angle

and thats it doesnt really need more power it got more than enouogh torque to make me happy for now

pictures
heres the earliest pictures i have have the amber corners lowerd on springs and with the smoked amber corners and headlights that i smoked i took them off and ordered a set of black housings i think it will give it a cleaner look after paint

when you say the car will be 'stretched', i hope you're not reffering to this...

Because Opal is rare and sexy. And dear Lord, I have a bad feeling this thread is going to turn into a giant flame war with the stretchin and bubblin.

just wait for Justin to come in and instigate a flame war again.

Car looks great OP, I personally liked the smoke headlights better but still looks good!

bubble knobs look good in honda's and nissans, cant say that one would look good in a mustang =\ and i feel like that tall of a shifter defeats the purpose of putting a short throw on it. idk. just me. my buddy has a bubble knob in his civic

that color is dope dude...just my opinion. and yeah, you wont get ANY camber out back unless you go irs. if you plan on going flush at all, id recommend irs.

when i get home from work ill post pics of mysc400 the front lip on hat thing was fiberglass and alot lower and i never had any issues. I really hope that this one doesnt turn into a pissing match my style has alway been imported drift kind of cars but i love muscular cars as well i just thing that the sn95 is a clean flowing body and no overly aggresive so im gonna do it a import way. And the question on the bubble shifter it doesnt affet the throw of the shifter because the base is still in the same location and technically its a weighted shifter so it actually can make it easier especially while drifting cause its easier to grab onto but mine wont be gigantic or anything maybe a 3in shifter but i might have to have my car repainted the same color if its rare i dont like to end bloodlines so to speak
