Droop's Progress Log...Got some new shoes Page3

DroopDaddy408 · Post by **DroopDaddy408** » Sun Feb 13, 2011 12:00 am

Ok, I've been on here for a while and have finally decided to start a progess log. My car was bought bone stock (sorry no pics) and have slowly brought it up.

Ok, here's a couple of pics of my first mods...

4x4 stance.....

All I had was rattle canned snowflakes and an ebay CAI with a K&N filter. I also had a OBX Longtube, no cat and srt rear exhaust.

Living in Cali I got tired of dodging the rollerz and ditched my Non CARB CAI and header. I had my stock header and cat put back on

and ordered a K&N Typhoon system.

Here's a shot of the ebay intake that I had painted black.....

I had a mishap and my intake fell off while driving and ran it over.

True story.

Ok so here's the Typhoon system.

For $228 it came with the intake, recharger kit and oil filter. Not bad......

Before I start my install I need my tools....

Oh damn, They both K&N. It's just that one hasnt been run over.

Make sure you always wear protection.....

I was having a bit of trouble getting the filter to stay on....

So I sanded the purtty gloss of the tip.......

"Borrowed" some of the wifey's hairspray and solved the problem..

So here's how it looks underneath....for now.

Other than that I have....
Sportlines with the Blues
Tinted tails and sidemarkers
Duel exhaust
205/55's on flatblack snow flakes
MPX projectors with 8k HID's
Coolwhite gauges and license plate
Kenwood cd player
Infinity Kapa 6 1/2's door mount and 6x9's
HomeDepot lipkit
I think that's pretty much it. I have alot more plans but I thought I'd finally start a log. Hope you all enjoy. I appreciate all feedback. Let me know what you think.

I'm loving the stance, aye. Real Talk.

Ok so here's the bodykit I ordered from Andy's Auto Sport. It's not a top shelf kit and I knew that so I'm koo with it.

The front

The back

The homie 2003se59 (omar) was there to lend a helping hand.

Me and my boy test fitting the rear.

Here it is on while Omar takes a breather.

In action trying to remove front end.

In more action trying to remove front end.

Forget action this is me just "doing"!! Lol

Comparison of the front.

Got it on but its rough

here it is painted

Here's the front. Still need the grille and the bumper to be aligned and straightened but it got late.

We still need to add skirts. I know its not perfect but at least I got it on. I plan in the future to take it to a shop to have it molded so for now it'll do.

You painted it that fast????

holy hell

DroopDaddy408 · Post by **DroopDaddy408** » Sat Apr 09, 2011 9:52 pm

The homie Omar has some painting skills. He has a gun and what not. He knew the paint code, PS2, slid him the funds and he had it done in a few days.

Now this isnt a shop worthy paint and install. It's just a temp untill I have more funds to have it molded in a shop.

Major props to the homie for his work.

Is there a way to pull the center of the front bumper upward?

DroopDaddy408 · Post by **DroopDaddy408** » Sat Apr 09, 2011 10:22 pm

^^^Well, the center can be pulled up. I just have to rig something to to brace it. Same for the front, bottom, sides. They are flared out way too much.

See???

DroopDaddy408 · Post by **DroopDaddy408** » Sun Apr 10, 2011 12:45 pm

Work in progress. Hopefully I'll have it looking right soon.

I think he means that the body kit is hideous and I'd have to agree. But to each his own, I suppose. The rear bumper doesn't seem like it fits too poorly.

Trust me I hear you guys. I do admit that I did have a clean look going on before. This was a gamble that I wanted to take and expect about 80% or more of you guys to not approve. It's koo. I'ma see what I can do with this project. If I can get it right to my liking, I'll keep it. If not, then on to the next project.

Yikes...

I concur.... Those kits look like they fit like absolute crap.. I can't see one respectable gap...

But to each their own..

Not a fan of the kit but it's not my car.... mod it for you man.

Live and let learn.

i want your front bumper.

Haganracing · Post by **Haganracing** » Mon Apr 11, 2011 2:12 am

I'm not a big fan of body kits and aftermarket parts. But if your happy thats what matters, its your car man

Goodluck on getting the rest of the work done

esfan · Post by **esfan** » Mon Apr 11, 2011 12:34 pm

I'll say it looks better before. But not really bad in the back with the kit. Maybe slam that thing?

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:59 pm

It's not terrible, IMO. Obviously most of us stick with boring lip kits and whatnot, but at least you test-fitted, are making adjustments, AND got it painted. You're still lightyears ahead of most kitted Neons (or any car for that matter). Do your thing man

iThane · Post by **iThane** » Mon Apr 11, 2011 3:39 pm

its not up to us how you mod your car. i think the kit will look better
once you get the adjustments made. the back end really doesn't
look too bad either. IMO, its more attractive than my rear bumper

DroopDaddy408 · Post by **DroopDaddy408** » Mon Apr 11, 2011 11:52 pm

Haganracing- Thanks, aye. I'm not a fan of extravagant bodykits but wanted more than a lipkit so I'ma just see what I can do with this. Wish me luck!!

Esfan- Ya, I know it looked good before. But have'nt you ever been at a point with your ride to where you are "bored" and what to try something totally different than what you'd normally do?? Well, that's where I'm at. It's finally paid off, and I'ma play with it. Oh, and I dont want to go any lower. I already scrape the shit out of it everywhere.

FAC3L3SS- Thanks Homeboy. I appreciate the realtalk. Ya, we test fitted and after that we remove the pieces and I parked my car in my garage till pieces were ready. Kept my ricer moves to a minimal.

Thane- Thanks, aye. I'm hoping it does look better with the final touches done. I just wanted something more. Lets see how it works out.

alsey_seven · Post by **alsey_seven** » Tue Apr 12, 2011 1:12 am

biggrobb1995 · Post by **biggrobb1995** » Tue Apr 12, 2011 2:32 am

Bring that ride to the "NO" so we can get those bumpers lined up bro. You know I'm not a big fan of kits but that one isn't terrible.

^^Smooth Homie. Let me get a free weekend and I'll head up there and we'll see what you, me and da Homie Ameer can do. Good lookin.
