Default Recent Updates/Upcoming Updates

Here's a little run through of whats been going on with my car, and also what I hope to have done when i get back from vacation.

Recent Updates:

New Reverse LED's Underglow, i recently moved them back to the back of the lip so they cant be seen from the rear of the car.




Some beginning interior painting. Yes, i know, kind of dirty ha






Upcoming Modifications

More interior painting to get the color right on some of the door panels, and possibly some other panels.

Getting underside rust worked on, on the doors, hopefully warranty will cover, or ill do myself.

Eyelids and front bowtie from Jarhead.

Detail from Jonny (gothkid)

New Headlights



A small order from ZZP



Let me know what you guys think, anything i should maybe add, delete, im most likely going to get my exhaust done too, just gotta find a free day.

yeah when im in reverse, or just when either one of the reverse lights come on in general, i wired it up off of the left reverse light instead of a switch, thought it would turn out kinda cool, and was surprised when i was done ha

the switch is for the radar detector, i didnt really like the idea of a big bulky thing coming out of the cigarette lighter so i just ran a few quick wires. i think im gonna put another switch on the other side to even it out a bit

okay, so i think ive decided against the headlights, for now at least, i think im going to just put the eyelids on from jarhead and that should help improve the looks. I dont want less light output. And today i found out that gm is cheap and wont help me with rust under my doors, so i need to pay someone to get that fixed the right way. still plan on getting the other mods too since my parents said i dont have to pay a whole lot while were on our vacation... cant wait to get back! dont want it to go by fast tho lol

Here's another update:

I fixed my SLP Grille

Headlights on the way, will be here Monday.
Got a foglight switch, now just looking for the lights themselves.
Got the Ubend Delete, just need to get it installed.
I still plan on doing some of the things to get some more power from the battery, will keep everyone posted with pics and everything.
