    Default progress on zee new car *updated 5/5/08*

    *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... =)



    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.

















    so i'm starting to think it was a good trade after all =)

    whatcha think?

    I'd slap some LS meshies on there.

    Looks good now but I think it would look better with the LS's.

    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

    Good progress. Like everyone else said, get some wheels, and PLEEEEEEASE no STOCK wheels. Stock wheels from any car FTL

    FUCK GRAN TURISMO EAST!! NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR THERE, ESPECIALLY NOT FOR AN ALIGNMENT!! TERRIBLE BUSINESS!!
