*new pics page 3*

so i traded my beloved z28 for this awful thing at the begining of february.

... threw the ricer projectors off of a cliff & put some new headlights & amber corners in their place

very nice... =)

http://a418.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/124/l_17e798551b563b0d18ea62fe34d4f9b1.jpg

then threw the "smoked" (aka bad spraypaint job) taillights off the same cliff & replaced them with the jdm tails, took the wing off... aaaand traded the vx wheels for ex wheels =)

and this is how she sits.

It looks a lot less complicated and messy now that the wing and wheels are different but to be honest the headlights actually made it look different. Now it looks like every other honda out there. IMO

I like what you have done so far, except for the wheels. The wheels are just tacky. But I am sure you won't be keeping those.

Also, a Z28 is a piece of junk. The trade was worth it.

yeah i cant decide which wheels i want ... nor do i have the money to spend on them right now. and yes. the camaro was a POS. i actually think the kid who bought it from me blew it up a week after the trade. =( im just glad to not be spending 473829748392 dollars a week on gas still.

07-18-2008, 01:41 PM
Yeah. The only reason i even have this set is because the bastard thieves who stole my car in October slapped them on when they stole my brand new wheels. They're all curbed and messed up, with some crazy monster truck tires. *sigh*.

toxxxic
07-18-2008, 01:46 PM
LMAO!!!! what the ****! its like "here, we're going to steal your wheels but since we're nice theives, we'll leave you with these del sol wheels to ride on!!"

osnap
07-18-2008, 01:48 PM
haha yeah something like that. Well they gave me 2 del sol fat fives, a nasty ass prelude sawblade, and some no name 5 spoke. All different size tires, all curbed to hell, all held on with 2 lugs each. I was like "WTF?"

toxxxic
07-18-2008, 01:50 PM
LMAO. like that's not obvious!!
