Finally clean without side moldings and clear bumper lights

Post by 05sxt » Tue Jan 12, 2010 5:57 pm

Here she is with a quick cleaning (NOT a deep detailing) without her ugly side strip moldings and with new clear corners. More mods soon to come, but I'm still trying to recover from Christmas in my bank account.

Nice and clean. Small subtle things like side moldings and clear markers really make a big difference!

Thanks everyone for the compliments! Here are some of my planned mods in the very near future, but nothing too crazy yet:

- Projectors w/ 6000k HIDS
- Full LED interior lighting (a la LilSparkPlug)
- Paint chrome grille trim to match body
- Lowering suspension a lil bit (I hate the way the ass sticks up)
- LED tails and custom LED 3rd brake light
- restore all the faded black trim pieces on exterior (Mother's Back to Black)
- SRT exhaust
- Fabricate a fiberglass enclosure for sound system

Let me know if there are any other popular and simple (read: cheap) mods that I might endeavor.

I would drop a K&N air filter in the box. Have you removed the resonator box from the air intake? Looks pretty clean overall, dude.

I wouldn't get the SRT exhaust, too loud...unless that's what you're looking for.

:withstupid: on non-srt engine the exhaust is awfully loud. Illegally loud federally.

smiley - Trust me, if/when I find a lip kit I will be all over it like flies on shit

LSP/hansken - thanks for the heads up. What exhaust would you recommend for the SXT 2.0 that is not too obnoxious yet still has a nice, throaty tune?

The engine will likely stay mostly unmodified except for a CAI, piggyback chip/MegaSquirt, and maybe sparkplugs/wires/injectors.

I'm going to lower the suspension just a little bit first and see how that looks and then I MIGHT consider getting some different rims. I'm really hoping to land on a good deal on the SRT4 rims/tire combo.

Any other suggestions are greatly encouraged.

That's shiny clean! Nice pics!
The car need to be lowed for sure! That will enhance a lot on the appearance.
CAI probably.

Thermal R&D sounds good, so does the stock R/T or a Camaro muffler.
