Car is now lowered!!! took 12 hours of work, and a busted middle finger!!! nail is definitely gonna come off.

 

Looking good , Taylor. Now work hard so you can drop it, paint the lowers and get some wheels

 

yea I wanna put some wheels on it the most.

I'm thinking I don't want to drop TOO much money on it other than rims because it has 108,000 miles =P

 

congrats, very clean car. let's see the interior!

 

nice lookin car...and damn dats a lot o miles.

 

Nice car! Think about painting the lowers!

 

Drop it with some springs.

 

Hows it holding up reliabilty wise? Any expensive maintenance?

 

It's hard to believe that body style has been out for 5 years now.

 

reliability wise? it's been great... i ran into a few problems about a month or so after i bought it, damn engine light would not go out!!! resulted in me being at the dealership multiple time and having to use a rental to get it straightened out. I've also had an issue with the brake light continuously going out (which eventually they fixed because i had to threaten them)

most expensive repair yet has been the brakes (although partially my fault, brought it to a place i had never been before).... replace the brakes and pay for labor was around $550.

I bought the car at the beginning of July 06' with 92,000 miles on it for $13,700 with tax. I've got 109,000 on it now. Car has been great to me!!

However, I'm still disappointed with the brakes. Does anyone know anyone that would take a look at the brakes in the Northern NJ area? I really think there is something wrong with them and I don't really know of a place that does good work that doesn't cost a fortune

Wheels look nice.
Springs will look nicer.
Painted lowers will look best.
