Default Car Update (A_Lopez1975)

Decided to create a thread for my current updates.

Well, today got rear distance sensors installed on the bumper and threw on some foglight covers. Next week, will get the front sensors installed (once they are painted ignot silver), and still have more mods sitting at my in-laws barn.

PICS:

FogLight Covers


Rear Sensor Bumpers


full view of rear sensors


Speaker for sensors

Overall, these sensors are a life saver based on Germany's narrow roads, tight parking space, small parking garages, ect..

More mods to come

Yeah I know right. Well, just got back from my vacation last Friday. Did you attend the Car Show on the 7th? Also, looks like it's going to rain this Saturday as well. This weather really sucks, can't even wash my car...

Yep. We went. It was raining, snowing, sleeting, etc. Colder than a witches teat!

Here's a crappy video I took of it, but you can kinda make out some nice cars:

Did some more modding this past weekend. Here we go ;0)


Tinted Rear Window and Shorty Antenna (Unfortnately in Germany you can only tint the rear and side rear windows only).


Black "5.0" emblem (both sides)


Another Angle Shot


Front distance sensors installed (Bumper)


BOSS 302 Chin Spoiler

This weekend I plan on installing the C&L CAI (93 Octane) with Tuner, tri-pony center caps for the wheels, and yesterday I ordered the BOSS 302 Strut Tower Brace bar

Thanks!!! Im looking into all the things i need to lower her. And im juggling between wheels or painted stripes. Noticed some minor scratches on the rear portion on the Vinyl stripes that's irritating the hell Out of me (noticable during brighton days). Probaly use Way or armoral to buff it Out.

That would bother me like crazy too. Haha. I would go with a real Super Snake stripe or 10" Shelby style stripes. They would look nice.

Thanks Tommy. Well this past Friday I installed some stripes on the front bumper, however, some A$$Smuck let his/her shopping cart hit the bumper so I have to go back to the shop this Friday to get it fixed. More pics to come ;0)
