Gave my car a make-over
Just picked up this car a few weeks ago but I wasn't a big fan of the looks, so I opened up the check book and went to work. Here is how she looked when I got her: 
So first thing was to tint the tail-lights. Picked up VHT Nightshades and hit them with a few coats (Still not finished with them, gotta clear coat)
Next was the wheels and tires, I like the look of the 18" chrome fr500's but I just needed more traction so I got a set of 17x9/10.5 bullitt's wrapped in Nitto's nt555 275/35 up front and the nt555r 315/35 out back. Boy I tell you those really made the stance look f'n awesome.
Finally, something had to be done with the front of her so I slapped on a mach 1 grille delete and chin spoiler, making her look like a whole new car.
I realize the pictures aren't the best quality, I'm too lazy to break out the canon so I just snapped quick pix on my phone. I'll get some better quality pictures soon so y'all can see how terrible the paint is on it lol.

Thanks man. I always try my best not to make my cars look like other peoples but its hard to do with these cars. Its all in the little things that make your own stand out, though, so this week I'm going to be getting into all the little details and I will update with pictures when i can.
