More pics....

had a few minutes last weekend to do some pics, so here are a couple....been so busy I have not had the time to REALLY get some pics...Albert gimme some ideas! So here is the "new" car....I know I know, rims are next on the list...but the 18's are now kinda growing on me...If I get wider wheels, or spacers, I think 18's may work out....but 19's will look hot...I was sold on black centers with a chrome lip, but not so sure now, I guess it depends on the wheel I go with....Oh, Raj at Venice Collision Experts who did the 02 update sideskirts, rear bumper and paint on the car hooked me up with a painted center console....I'll be installing that, along with my iPod controller for the Kenwood touchscreen this weekend...as well as eating Bar B Q! Hey Thomas, Veggie Q?

One more shameless plug for Raj at Venice Collision Experts....I just washed the car last night...and WOW....the shine is AMAZING. The photos above are of the car when it was VERY dusty, now its amazing. I used the Meguires NXT spray wax....Raj did a great job on this car, the finish is wonderful.

Its a more agressive look without it being too much for the car....Its amazing how many people have commented on the bumper....They have no clue, but know something is different, and always say the front looks better...

Car looks great. That bumper definately makes it alot more aggressive. OC has some great roads...go for the 19s!

Minor detail, but with some tire dressing on those tires, the car and the pic would have come out that much better.....little things that make a big difference IMO

I'd go a little further and recommend that you get some dressing on the black plastic parts of the bumper.

I have a bottle of some stuff called Black Chrome which makes the black plastic look brand new.

It completely takes away the pasty look that your black plastic is exibiting the the photos. And it's much better than just putting tire dressing on the black parts because it seems to last through many car washes...
