    Default The Wife's Car Build Photo Log

    Alright I know that everyone on IA is stuck to JDM like stank of do do but I still like the old school way of kits, big wheels, and awesome paintjobs and this car is no different. I will not loose my cool by your comments I will take them in stride and know that I am still able to think outside the box while the rest of you sit huddled in the corner looking for the JDM light. Anyway plenty more pictures to come and final product real soon.
    Thanks as always!


    New pics of the first coats of paint still alot of work to be done but I figured let the moaning begin about how you all don't like it so go ahead and have your fieldday on my stuff again.

    We have a long way to go on this one I have full comptech suspension, sway bars, new wheels, comptech exhaust, twin turbo setup to install, and big brake kit to put in as well as the system 3tvs, ps3, 4subs for the back. Haven't figured out yet if we are going to do a nitrous kit or not. but the kit is what everybody gets worked up over that is why I put picks up. Just to make people chatter and bitch moan and complain. It will be fast, loud, and clean when it is doen I guarentee it.

    Becaue it is a daily driver, not a trailer queen, nor pure race car. My wife has a very heavy foot and is usually late on the brakes so I want it to be fast but not too fast. Plus with the subs and TV's the kids will like riding in it too.

    So you're going with twin turbo setup? Yes it will be fast, but i would not let my wife or my kids near the car while she is driving.

    I can't voice my opinion until I see a finished product. Maybe it will look good, maybe it won't. Time will tell!

    Aw hell this should look good...I've seen some people do these cars up and it comes out really nice. I like the color you've chosen.

    I'd like to see this come together.
