http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Intrepid ... 1c119cc256

i need a new rear bumper anyways

plans for then intrepid are

new headlights
new tires for the 17" rims
fix the dents
new hood or paint the current hood ( its gold) car is maroon
replace all brakes calipers and everything all the way around
tint the windows
fix the power trunk release ( there is power back there but it wont work think the motor is bad)
either get a lip for the oem bumpers and some type of side skirts or get the body kit like above

( use the paint i have and paint the car white) lost my reciept so i cant take the paint back

then redo the whole interior and call it a day

and no i am not putting that gay fin on my car!!!!!

for the same reason why everyone wastes money on neons

if you think about it spending anymore other then for reg maintenance on a car really is dumb and the worse investment anyone can do .
if you think that is bad im also looking into doing a 3.5 HO swap on the car, that motor bolts direct with the tranny and that motor is cheaper then the 2.7 i have in the car now.

no to what the body kit or everything? i really only want a diff front bumper and ill prolly try to fine a cheap oem replacement rear bumper. if i could find a r/t front bumper id get that i want fog lights

bc i can

but think about it is it dumb in a way, you wont ever get the money you put into the car back even if u part the stuff if your lucky you will break even! most ppl wont pay for the extra non oem parts you have on it it u sell it. not up this way anyways

pg 66 has the intrepid

Cou can have your oem bumper for under 100 bucks through them.

There website will tell you if there is a shop close to you or not, but for OEM i think is the best way to go.

cbjones26 · Post by **cbjones26** » Mon May 17, 2010 8:52 pm

only issue is they are to far away and they dont ship . closest one is over 10 hrs one way

synviper · Post by **synviper** » Mon May 17, 2010 9:05 pm

Damn theres one 30 minutes away from me, if i could find a box big enough i could ship it to you.

I've bought cars for $3000, put $1,000 into them and sold them for $5,000.. That's not a dumb investment at all

3.5 is a good investment actually. Well it's gotta be better than the 2.7 in there. Those engines are notoriously junk and problematic.

The 3.5 is a nice engine, the 2.7's are known to get sludged up if you are not on top of maintenance.

I feel bad for you cbjones.

o ya , sludge build up, head gasket issues, last fall the water pump shit to bed while i was in there i changed the head gaskets, and everything else. ( bought the whole top end gasket kit) took about 20 hrs over three weeks or so to get back up and running, and these engines are a 0 tolerance with the timing, unlike the lil neon u can have the timing off a tooth or two and still run. not witht he 2.7s you cant. some how i did all the work on my own,. when to start it up and ran smooth as can be. everything running great on the car.

me = 20-22 hrs labor= head gasket/waterpump reaplacement about $350
to the garage for same work= min 18 hrs at $65 hr labor and $500 in parts= being more then a new engine .lol

we doing work myself and then going to the garage to reset codes i had, them being surprised that i was able to do it and was offered a job for doing 2 head gasket changes on 2 diff intrepids =priceless told them id do them both for no less then $800 cash but they didnt want to pay me only like 300 so i said nope!

lol.. the thing is with me. i dont really care if ppl hate it or not all that matters is if i like it or now. or if it works and serves its purpose for me for the time being. i know i waste alot of $$ on dumb shit . cutting corners. but i really dont care. fuck its just money you cant take it with you

although i am thinking about putting the srt wing on the intrepid and getting some pink underglows and maybe just maybe making a body kit out of cardboard and shaving the doors ( yes i mean the whole door) take it right off lol nah just kidding.

Aww, I was starting to get excited and then you had to say "just kidding." Thanks a lot.

Seriously, if you have the money and want to do it, go ahead and make yourself happy. Oh, if you have any extra money left over, you can donate it to me so that I can mod my car. Hint...

but instead of acting like a 12 year old and spending every dime you get when you get it on shitty stuff , why don't you save and maybe you won't have to cut corners or "waste $ on dumbshit".

i understand what you mean by you can't take it with you, but you're 20 ish years old, you're not quite at that stage in life.
