[Above118]

Whats going on ppl .. I've been lurking the site fore a few months now,I wanted to get the vibe of the forum and some tech info before I decided to join. So far i've seen a lot of positive stuff about the site so,I signed up. Ill be a supporting member within the month. Hopefully I can get a lot for the site as well as give some use full knowledge also.

About me: The name is Tristan,from NJ,but moved to VA last year(Richmond area),and plan to be here for a while.

My Car: Red/black top 94' 5.0 Vert. Nothing to special about it. Got it off a buddy of mine for $1,000 as a project I plan on having fun with.
The only mods to it are a full exhaust..o/r H pipe to flows. Single din head unit. and that's pretty much it.

This year my main focus will be appearance. Winter will be motor work.
On my Mod list:: Lowered 1-1/2,
Fr500 in mirror black, 18x10 - 18x9
Color swap-2012 Charger Burnt orange
Bride all black seats
Smoothline hard top (cobra)
Vertical Tail lights tinted (HATEEEE my horiz. )
Cobra hood/Front bumper
Blank (no lettering) Rear bumper
B&M Hammer Shifter

Few other things I have planned,but not sure which way I wanna go.

As you can see it's all basic, 'GOLD EDITION' <--what a joke.

Pics were taken with an iphone,don't roast me for the quality! lol

Ill have some up tomorrow,its not to pretty looking,but its a good base.lol Has gold lettering and badges that will be coming off this week.
I try to keep my goals realistic,1 thing at a time that way it gets done. Rather then 50things at once.

 

[MustangChris]

Lol thanks Orange...I WAS thinking about going with a brighter orange like yours,with a chip foose stripe layout...but here that's just asking for a ticket from the fuzz. Or at least get harassed. Ill be sure to join tho once i get this damn red off my car. haha

Yes, a bright orange car asks for a ton of harassment.... Look forward seeing it painted!

Paint wont happen till about june,maybe May...Gonna trailer the car to Nj to be painted. Im getting nothing but negative feed back around here. So im bringing it to a buddy of mine that will take care of it for me.

oh ok nvm then..i thought you were debadging it

 

[Above118]

I shoulda re-worded that..lol my fault. the gold badges just don't work for me. Feel like i have a set of perfect teeth.. but the front 2 are blinged out. lol

 

[whiplash473]

yeah definitely..leave the bling for the exhaust tips
