Just got my ride! Take a look...

I just got my ride 2 days ago, did some minor cosmetic mods. Take a look 'n tell me what you think. Share your thoughts about my future mods, and what would look best.

I bought my baby off eBay for $12,900 with 8k on it. Took a week to get here, but I love it! Anyways, just gimmie some feedback.

Thanks!

that's a pretty good start
most people dont get that for at least a couple months. I didn't start modding my car for damn near a year.
(bought the intake 6months, didn't install for another couple months)
be careful in the future...
This hobby becomes a little Addictive

Yeah it looks good for only 2 days modding it. Yeah clear headlights is a big one, can't tell how dark your tint is since its so dark but any idea what percentage it is? Yeah rims are a big investment that took me a long time deciding and then finally buying and still wish I would have got 18" rims oh well you never win in this modding game.

Good start not a fan on the altezza's but everyone has their own tastes

Nick

Thanks for all the feedback guys. The lights are Eurolite colored bulbs (Not xenon). I bought all my other bulbs from one seller on eBay and he threw those in as a gift! Nick...I think the fronts are 35% and the back 3 are 5%. I'm thinking about getting 18" Konig Verdicts. I had 18s with 215/35/18 on my other car though, and it sucked. I need bigger tires than that up here in Detroit. The motor city has the worst potholes! I work at Discount Tire so I pretty much look at rims all day [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] The halos are the only tezzas I really like...I know a lot of people hate 'em though [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] My next mods will be K&N FIPK, exhaust (HKS, maybe custom Borla), and wheels. I gotta save up for spring break though too, so I'll probably wait a bit. I'm not sure what kind of suspension I want to go with yet. Kaminari kit by next summer!

Peace

I got the gauges off eBay for $33.50 after shipping. It has a switch for blue or green and a dimmer. I just put it behind the dash because I didn't want to drill a hole. You can get these for the manual, or these for auto. They were pretty easy to install with the DIY, took me about an hour and a half.

I just installed CapYoda's shifter bushings too, they were real easy. Definately worth the 16 bucks!

Actually, I've changed my mind about the Konigs. I'm going to go with hyperblack 5zigen rims now. I've ordered Goldlines and camber kits but I'm gonna wait until after spring break to put em on because I'm driving down to Florida.
