Mopar side skirts would be nice to add to the list. Especially since you have the front bumper with the lip.

I really like that front grill mesh that you have there!

some z3 fenders would match your pointless a-pillar gauges, oversized wheels, and countless "euro" lights!

hey you can take ur flaming somewhere else and SMD in the process faggot. If you read the actual posts and my most recent i have to update it. Tires and rims aren't oversized but it looked that way without a drop. A pillar is mainly for looks. Tails are actually gone now. Get outta 2GN if your gonna be a douche bag in my opinion

i'm pretty sure that's the definition of rice. it's like that yellow nascar-y neon that shows up all the time, just on a smaller scale. what's next, a 2 foot park bench, and an electric supercharger?

the people here are too nice, but you're kind of a ricer. don't bother with a responce i won't check it, i figured i'd just spread an opinion, i didn't realize you were so defensive. toughen up boss the world isn't always gonna be roses and rainbows.

You don't know me so get outta my thread noob. Your the one that came here flaming with no clue so don't bitch at me. A pillar has volt, oil pressure, and straight vacuum.... The means of it being primary for looks is fine and its all hooked up. People could consider the vacuum gauge rice but its not boost/vacuum but whatever i needed a third gauge and it was an easy install.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 8:26 am

Hmmmm I wonder what those dress up mods are o.O

lilnicko11 · Post by **lilnicko11** » Fri Aug 14, 2009 3:13 pm

So ok......Haven't updated this in a while. Yess I know im slacking. But anyways, heres whats been going on these past couple of months.

I finally lowered my ACR on an Eibach Pro Kit. The very next week took it to Carlisle (had such a great time there meeting everyone and I really enjoyed the event)

On the way home Saturday night I hydrolocked or something else happened cause of water damage. So my car was stuck in south jersey for a day and I had to come back from upstate ny the next day to get it. The day that all happened I looked at an 04 SRT4 Electric Blue with 42,000 miles on it. I loved it and a week and a half later purchased it.

So as most of you know, my ACR sits at my mechanics until the insurance gets everything figured out and hopefully I get some type of money to rebuild it because I do want to keep it. Im loving my SRT4 and already have some minor plans for it.

The SRT4 already has:
1) MOPAR Cold Air Intake
2) MOPAR BOV
3) Greddy Catchcan

Looking to mostly do engine bay dress up items right now:
1) Powdercoated valve cover
2) Ignition Coil Heat Shield
3) Radiator Gap Cover Shroud
4) Mopar Strut Bars

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Fri Aug 14, 2009 5:00 pm

Swap the springs from the ACR onto the SRT.

Then play dress up!
