SC/t kit, new paint job and 2 post mirrors (No 56k)

Finally got my car back from the shop on Friday (day of graduation, what timing.) Was getting fixed from an accident in March. The back bumper still needs to be put on, and the door moldings need to be painted, as well as some other minimal body work. The car will be taken in some time next week for those issues.


Here are some pics:


















The end.

Paint the mirrors and lose the tails and I think you're good to go. The stripes do look strange as they dont quite match the lines of the hood, but it works oddly enough. Nice job.

Stripes: I like the stripes they were my idea from the start I like the way it looks on the car I know others don't typically like the style but I do, and it's my car . I was thinking about doing a pin stripe around each stripe, however, decided not to have it done, as it's something I can later add, but couldn't hide if they painted it with the stripes.

Rims: 17"s and the next thing to be upgraded on the car. I was planning on dropping it but got the body kit instead. Ground clearence is now an issue in some every day places.

Brakes and lowering see Rims.

Mirrors: Though they don't show well in pictures, the mirrors are painted a high gloss black. I think that the painted-to-match silver mirrors are hidden by the color of the car and like the way they stand out now.


Thanks everyone

Thanks! Where abouts in Orlando are you. Also my car club (link in sig) is talking about putting together a weekly meet up for people to just come and hang out, you'd be more than welcome to come out there. I'm over in the Metro West/Universal Studios part of town.

We have monthly meetings in Longwood (right off I-4 basically.) Member's don't have to come to the meeting either. However, we're talking about doing something like holding a weekly get-together on this side of town, like closer to the Kirkman exit of I-4


Either way, if you wanna meet up some time just send me a PM
