not sure yet, they will be repainted flat black, and then the hubcaps will be repainted silver. I'll let you know once i check the thread and stuff.


pics of the hub caps before cleaning/sanding.









Also just bought a new muffler http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=370226171699 I plan on hidding it behind the bumper, so the muffler cant be seen. I think it will looks sick once i get the correct rear lip.

Hopefully I will have this painted flat black and welded on for the meet. Also about to order some blue valve stems and a lip kit.

 

i was going to get magnaflow, are you getting a tip welded on it also?

 

put on the gorilla lug nuts today. Too forever since summit fuked my order up. Next is blue valve stem caps.




Also check out the forsale thread, wheels and stock suspension up for sale.

 

Ok so here is an update:

I really need a paint job and it looks like this summer it will be happening. I'm going to just redo the oem black paint job, maybe a higher gloss. Then my plan is to paint the engine bay gold like these wheels.

Next I would get gold lug nuts to match and paint my valve cover high gloss black with polished or maybe gold lettering. I would also be doing a mild tuck in the process and relocate the battery. The engine bay would not be painted until next year when I can have my car at school so neither would the valve cover get painted, the wire tuck, and lug nuts get done till then and this is all happening b4 I turbo. I will be updating my turbo build in the few days as well. I will be completely re-doing it for the most part and starting over new.

The plan for the turbo build will be much better than the first one with better parts and I will be pushing for a little more hp. I'm looking at 230hp. So look for the parts list in the next few days. Some sides notes for the turbo build that just relate to the appearance are im going to paint the charge piping flat black along with the bov and maybe the manifold, depends on which one I decide on getting. I think this will look very good with the gold engine bay.

Back to the reason why i need to paint my car. After my accident i never painted the front end and well i kinda screwed my self over. The whole hood is rusted and it has moved onto the fenders. So paint is a must this summer. And the whole blue/black theme is going out the window...too played out.

 

Yessss... Gold engine bays are on the rise!!!! Those were the wheels I was thinking about when I said I want champ white, black roof, bronze bay, and bronze wheels.

 

Haha yea those where the exact ones I was thinking about as well, they would look dope on ur car with champ white. I would definitely rock that, but I figure it will be easier to just keep my car black then that way I dont have to paint the door jams which will keep the paint cost down. Lol cvcrcr99 your thread got me all interested in my car again hahaha, its hard to keep interest when I only get to see it once or twice a semester.

EDIT: Turbo list updated on the first page.

 

thumbs up for bringing back this project. I'm interested in buying the slipstreams off of you when you decide to sell it. keep us updated with this project

 

just ordered my mugen style lip kit + grille, wont be able to install it till spring break or maybe summer.

EDIT: o and also I dont have that same muffler any more, went back to a stock muffler with 2.5in piping to match the rest of my exhaust. I really like it, much quieter and stock looking.

 

good choice in tires

 

Yes, I have had two sets of tires on these wheels and so far these have much more grip and seem to hug the road nicer. Also seem to be better in the rain than my old ones.
