Had 50 bucks burning a hole in my pocket so I decided to dress the car up a little with some chrome trim and decals but not over do it. Gave it a full detail using Meguiar's Ultimate Compound and Meguiar's NXT Wax, then took some pics. Unfortunately I broke my digital camera a ways back so I had to use one of those cheap disposable Kodaks from Wal-Mart. I could not turn the flash off so the pictures came out a little over exposed. I did manage to clean them up a little with Photo-Shop Light Room.

You'll either love it or hate it but keep in mind it is a working concept and the changes are easily reversed. When I am able to afford it here is a list of appearance mods I will do.

Either Crager or Foose Nitrous wheels

No decals or trim

LED tail lights from PFYC

Inferno hood

Grant custom steering wheel

Recaro leather seats.

But for now I gotta settle for what I did. I do like it but I think the fake vents and decals are a little overkill so I may remove them, ideas are welcome.

Enjoy :lol:



UPDATE FOR SEPT 27th 2010.


So I made some changes, took the fake vents and decals off because it made the car look rice which is not even close to the look I am aiming for.

Anyway the car looks a 1000% better. I will post new pics soon and this time with a better camera ;)

I like the way it turned out, though personally I think the fake vents and flaming skulls are a little too much so I may remove them.

Ha ha ha ha ha, just say it, lol

I made some changes, took the fake vents and decals off because it made the car look rice which is not even close to the look I am aiming for. I do like the chrome trim on the grill and the headlights so that's gonna stay for now but ideas and suggestions are always welcome.

Anyway the car looks a 1000% better. I will post new pics soon and this time with a better camera ;)

You guys will probably like what I did a lot better now. I removed the fake vents and all the decals, debadged the rear and flipped the silly NOS floor mats upside down.

Car looks night and day better. I've just been trying to find an identity for it and I think I have.

New pictures coming soon.

I agree with you completely. It's amazing how good some of that stuff looks in the package but crap on the car.

I'm just trying to find an identity for the car and I think these (04-08 GP) look best in their off the lot stock form so they don't need too much more.

I just wanted to give mine that little extra uniqueness and I think I have, for now anyway.

Will have pics up this weekend.
