Default New video- pics/walk around/warm exhaust note

So, I'm stopping right here. I've been going back and forth between HIDs/no-HIDS and possibly 3.73s for a while now, but I think I'm pretty happy where my ride is at overall. Enough so that I won't be upgrading any more. The plan is to get a job after I graduate in the fall and use the money I've saved up plus a signing bonus plus an X-plan through my future employer to purchase a used 2012 5.0.

It's a pity that most of my mods aren't removable/applicable to the 2012, and in all honesty, don't want to spend that kind of time parting off louvers and other trim pieces. I'll take the subwoofers and amplifier and walk if I trade it in. Or if I private sell, maybe someone will fall in love with the mod list like I did and I'll leave it as is.

So here's the final product.

Warning: I'm not typically into Dubstep. But this is a popular Dubstep remix that I enjoy. If you absolutely can't stand that music and your ears will bleed if you so much as catch a clip of it in the distance, this video is not for you. You've been forewarned...

I like what you've done with her. It's not a subtle look but you've pulled it off well without making it gaudy. Very impressed

Agree, it's subtly aggressive, looks really good.

Thanks guys, wasn't looking for a stock/subtle look but definitely not gawdy. Just had a goal of making it look aggressive and knowing that I love stripes haha.

Thanks Scottie, I'm in love with the new wheels. I'll definitely be grabbing a second set of aftermarket concave wheels on the next ride.

FYI, you can only use the X-Plan program for new vehicles... doesn't apply to used cars.

Sorry, my mistake, you're right. Lapse in thought there. If the 2013 grows on me, that's what I'll be using. If not, well, of course I won't be able to use it.

Its a shame you want to sell that car. Its about perfect. You have done a superb job with it. What are you getting your degree in and what kind of job are you looking for?

That song would be so much better without the vocals, haha.

Car looks amazing man, every mod is very tastefully done and they all flow together really well. Its a shame you are considering getting rid of it, I say just pay it off and then keep it : )
