well normally i would spray paint like i usually do, but i want to paint the whole car. so i might just keep the car looking like this and just deal with it until i get some money to get it painted.

[DeeAOne]

[DeeAOne]

a few more before i go to work...ill replace these with the ones up there later.

[oldschoolteg]

It's looking good. The white wheels look cleaner. Keep up the good work!

BTW I'm digging out the steering wheels tonight. I'll send you pics.

[DeeAOne]

Definitely keep the cream! Your teg is the only one I've seen in cream and I like it!

[DeeAOne]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to oldschoolteg again.

[Revmaynard]

Yea, cream is one of the ''rarer'' colors for the wagon. I actually like it too.

[.:Stirfry:.]

[DeeAOne]

thats actually what 3k HID's look like when first turned on. once they heat up they turn yellow.

[DeeAOne]

not too much change. just lowered the rear. snapped a few shots.

i have realized its hard to match ride heights with a torsion bar/strut setup in the front and a spring/strut setup in the rear. lol

[DeeAOne]

[DeeAOne]

monster burnout!! lol

[DeeAOne]

a bad night for the teg. i was pulling into a friends driveway, and off all the things to run over, i ran over a can of spray paint. green exploded onto the car. front fender, part of the passeger door, and some of the wheel. i managed to get most of it off. still some on the wheel and mudflap though. at least its getting painted, eventually. lol

[DeeAOne]

and speaking of spray paint, heres an update on the money shot. not much change at all.

when i first got it.


what it looks like today.

[DeeAOne]

i know its a rice-tastic muffler but it sounds pretty damn good. its much quieter. i think ill keep it. fits nice. i might cut the angles off the tips though..opinions?

[shadowx3]

looks good bro

[DeeAOne]

thanks
