the car looks classic.... it is nice

Time for an update

It's been many miles since I've posted on here. Drove to Cali and back, and Miami to Charlotte and back several times in the last 10 months. I'll let the pics do most of the talkin.

4/20/12:

On the way to Cali, got a few speeding tickets along the way..





7/12/12:

Back from Cali, time to fix a few odds & ends..



Broke Beaks bar ^

New Beaks bar ^

7/22/12:

It's my birthday. Time to treat myself to something nice. Like a custom built full stainless steel 3 inch exhaust with cat and resonator delete..





Get that useless thing outta here..


Here's my new catilytic converter guys


This guy is a welding artiste..

8/08/12:

The driving I've been doing across the country has thrashed my front wheel bearings so, took care of that. No more wub wub noise. At the shop that day..



8/30/12:

Got me some Type A swagg..






Here's a few shots of my clearance. I'm trying to go lower, but right now there's less than a 1/2 inch of clearance from exhaust to ground. The wheels I'm getting will reduce stock wheel diameter by about an inch. As you can see this poses a problem. I may have to replace mid pipe with 2.5" for extra clearance but I really don't want to. Any other suggestions from the slammed masters here?






Quick candid shot at a meet..

Finally, after a year of owning all the parts, my baby gets a facelift. Blacked out headlights, fogs, hid's for the fogs and low beams, and cf grill finally go on the car. Here's a before shot..

Stay tuned, wheels are up next

Build list update:

Bad..............................................A ss!

Car is looking great man! I'm loving the clean look. Bet the drive from california to florida was a doozie.

Thanks guys and yea haha lets just say I won't be doing that again anytime soon. Lol seeing the whole country like that was pretty cool tho.

Some dusk shots at a local meet the other day.. I gotta say lol as a relative noob, I feel like the car is lookin respectable now and this **** is startin to get fun Can't wait for wheels, so close. More JDM angles yoo lmao im jus messin

Looks like an awesome build list

for the ICE
Why only 500/1 for two 12W3's?
You could probably find 1000/1's all day on craigslist for about 300~400. Especially around FL if you're there.
And get a set of Monster RCA's :P

I had at one point two JL 500/1 mono blocks but as soon as I put power to em they blew my 2 kickers comp 12's within a few minutes. I sold one of the mono blocks and kept one. I might sell the other one also and upgrade to the 1000/1 but before that I'm trying to get a 4 chan 300/4 to power the JLs inside the car. I kno I can prolly find them used but I'd like to just save up and buy everything new.

May take your advice on the RCA's but I haven't even had a working stereo long enough to hear a difference. My stereo will get some attention after I get my first set of wheels. Not legit without wheels!

Lol, Kicker's can't handle the awesomeness of JL
And I wouldn't buy a new 1000/1...
Those things are expensive. A used one is just as good, for less than half the price.
As for the speaker amp, grab a JX 360/4, they're cheap and sound great.

Damn....so jelly...can't wait to see what you get for wheels

Whered you get the blackout headlights and hows the light output on them?

i got mine off ebay and theirs actually no difference compared to stock. just look nicer. or u can diy with black spraypaint and some sealant to seal the lens back up.

Lol you're prolly right man those Kickers didnt last 10 min! And I'd buy used if I could find one blemish free. I'm pretty particular about that which is why I always just buy new. JX's are def great amps for the price but I'm pretty set on the Slash series lol they already have v3 out I can't keep up! I might sell my old v1 500/1 and upgrade everything to Slash v3. My stereo def will get the same kind of attention the rest of the car has been getting just need a little time thats all haha. So a round of v3 stuff and monster RCA's check

About 1/2 way there. Skipping meals n ****. I will have them soon!

yep ebay bro. go with the top rated sellers and you can't go wrong.

Awesome...they look amazing

look'in sharped evertime i see it =D
