started as a stock se no options but ac and an auto...

the start: stock stealies, m3 mirrors, 4x4, wing.... fart can, tint, and the neon 3rd brake light cover vinyl .....

ebay front and rear sways and painted valve cover(old amps and cap in the rear..

removed side moldings, put the stock mirrors back on, got a cf hood oem style for $100!! vinyl eyelids and mesh grilles for the front, and painted the inserts black

ebay coilovers... yes i kno... hopefully they will be gone by summer...

Led 3rd brake light

led license place light

brushed aluminum gauge surround:

and mostly how it is today...

also done many small things...
power windows
trunk carpet
power trunk release
glove box light
trunk light
grey suede door inserts
silver hvac
shifter and ebrake handle
black headliner with no sunroof and oh shit handles
interior leds
blue gauges
oil pressure and volt gauges mounted on the pillar

aboutr the e bay coils ... i've heard alot of bad things about them.

you have and drive them ... how bad are they really ???

the ebay coils are pretty bad... altho on decent roads they are for sure bearable.. they give a good drop and my struts haven't blown yet i don't think..the ride is deff rough tho... i would just say just get some good springs and do it that way...
but as far as plans.. nothing much for now... 5 speed swap when this tranny goes...and i have a magnum cam coming in from BRR... but thats about all planned.

Make sure you use some antiseize on the bolt that connects the control arms to that knuckle. This bolt is known to seize inside the knuckle making it a pain to remove in the future.....

Win. It's never too late to go back and fix stuff the right way

blueneo03 · Post by **blueneo03** » Thu May 27, 2010 10:07 pm

tell me about it but its gonna cost as much as the ebay fails to replace some stuff it fucked up lol

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Thu May 27, 2010 10:11 pm

Lol. Did you get a legit antenna delete plug, or did you make one out of a different plug? I'm curious as to what you used.

blueneo03 · Post by **blueneo03** » Fri May 28, 2010 1:31 am

nope i got lucky i came home and found it on my workbench just chillin there and it fit perfectly almost..
