So I put some ghetto pin stripe on my bumpers/trim to imitate this look below. I'm undecided on whether I like it or not, you guys let me know some input.

I also replaced my headlights with some new ones while I was at it, here are some shots. I'm currently looking for amber corner lights.

i don't know it looks weird, but maybe that's because yoou don't have all the other stuff yet..headlights look good though

I think it looks good, and it will look better with a lowering. But yeah remove the other pinstripe....the black one looks funky lol.

Oh yeah if you need any parts there is a pretty much all there 2wd wagovan at the Pullapart in Norcross. Just saw it yesterday.

I'm getting to that before I take it to the car wash tonight! :bump:

Also, if I got cheapo coilovers I could probably lower it this weekend, otherwise it will be about two to three weeks before I'd get my GC coilover kit and another two weeks before I'd get my Koni shocks. So now my delima is whether or not to go cheapo since I'm not looking for anything amazing to ride on.

I found an ebay set of sleeves and springs for $80 new from someone locally though...so I don't know if it would get much better than that. lol.:goodjob:

No prob. You should definitely go to pullapart, though like I said if you need bumpers, theres some nice ones on a wago there.

Revmaynard
03-05-2008, 04:07 PM
Already been out there and got some parts. I plan on getting different bumpers for it eventually, but first is cheap inexpensive cosmetics, next is suspension/wheels, then swap. Exterior ''mods'' are last.:D

I think it looks good on the first pic. It fits well with the other mods. It looks a little out of place on your car as is sits now IMO. But for a cheap mod, i'd go ahead and do it and after you do more to the car i think itll look good.

Thanks, I did the side trim on both sides and the front and rear bumper. I wouldn't do anymore stripping. Luckily I can peel it off.:crazy:

You don't want cheap suspension, its one of the most important aspects of a car. Wait and get a nice set of coilovers and you will be much happier. GL with the car man :cheers:

First I'm just going to drop it then throw the LS' I bought on it. Next is performance. Then cosmetics. Later I might buy a nicer set of wheels, but for what I got the LS' for it's worth it.

Hey man. Go to advanced auto and get the trim paint. Its in a green can, and will make your trim down the side of the car look brand new from the factory. Then the red will be set off with the new fresh black trim.

Hahahahaha, you must be a ricer at heart if you call red pin striping a fcking mod. Your car may look clean.....but.....

If you'd read the initial post you'd see it says that I plan on getting new bumpers, but first is suspension and wheels. I have all of $50 in the car other than buying it. Unless you count the LS wheels I just bought and I'm not putting on until I get my GC kit and Koni Yellows. I appreciate the critisicm but next time read through the entire post. If you have another front bumper you'd like to give me for free than feel free. Otherwise I'm not spending money on a new stock one when I plan on buying a different one anyways. :goodjob:
