Well of course its been raining everyday since I picked it up so these pics arent great, but its done with paint. The paint stripper (for plastic) that we used to get teh blue off the 5.0 tails ended up destroying the lenses. I kinda like the way these look, but I still want the 5.0 tails. Gonna try to find some that are unpainted, or trade someone for these! YES THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DARK. Im taking some 400 grit to them today and hes going to redo them this week.

Next on the list is fix the exhaust, and install the subwoofer!

OK guys. Its been a long time since this thread was updated. Life has been a beeotch to me but I've made it through the fight and Im back on top! I just ordered like $2000 in parts for her and quite a few things have changed since I last posted pics. Its been raining here for weeks so she's nasty and looks like a turd, but the suns out today. Hopefully Ill get to clean her up soon and get some pics.

Things that have changed:
No longer bagging the car and need to do another photoshop. Going for a road race feel.
Two piece projector headlights and black corners with 6000k HIDs in high and low beams. 4 bulbs
Smoked clear fogs with 3000k HID. These bulbs are being replaced with 6000k soon because the 3000k looks green instead of yellow in teh smoked housing.
I finally got the high speed miss figured out. TPS, even though it passed the test was bad.
Rims were traded for some staggered 19x8.5 and 19x10.5 TSW Volcanos. They are in pretty rough shape, but will be getting powdercoated(by me) soon. The rear lip is rediculous!
Horizontal tails with painted bezels and smoked lenses.
Stage 2 Exceedy clutch
I also tore into the engine and will have pics of that soon as well. It looks brand new inside. Heads come off soon to get checked out then reassembly/dressup will begin.

Things that are in boxes or on order, that will be installed or modified a week from today.
H&R Super Sport springs 2" drop
KYB GR2 struts
KYB AGX adjustable rear shocks
QA1 CC plates
Black billet grill and bumper inserts
Front sway bar bushings
Clutch cable, billet quadrant, and firewall adjuster
3/8" wheel spacers, the rears offset is just enough that it rubs on the inside and will rub more when lowered. I can only go 3/8" without getting into the fender lips which will get rolled soon.
Walbro gss340 high pressure fuel pump
Prosport fuel pressure gauge
Prosport coolant temp gauge
2 SOS universal gauge pods, I need to order 2 more for the wideband and the boost/vac gauges.
Black and red 5.0 fender emblems from a 13'
2 - 265/40/zr19 Eagle F1 supercar tires
2 - 245/40/zr19 Eagle RS-a tires
Cutting the cat back off behind the mufflers and running the pipes roush style

Things to be ordered very soon:
UPR off road Xpipe
Some kind of tip for the side exit pipes
Aluminum 3 core radiator and fans
Quarterhorse and binary editor


Im glad to be working on her again now that Im single and have time. Cheating whore...I hope she gets the gonorrhea.
