please forgive our cars appearance, they are filthy and we were too lazy to wash them on our way to the location.

my car and my nephews 05 srt that he just got.. we spent the weekend hooking up the wastegate, redoing the vacuum lines, installing a block off plate... we went from not getting into boost at all lol, to getting 15psi... i showed him several videos of srt accidents so hopefully he doesn't mess up.

my guages

and a close up of my silver front bumper since i know people will want to see it, it's a costom job that previous owner had done.. it needs work but overall looks alright

Nice pictures. Interesting bumper...can't say if I like it or not. hmmm

What kind of lugs are you using?

Nice shots. That silver one looks like it got punched in the face, though. Would look super cool if both nostrils were glassed over, kind of like an SRT-D+lip or SRT4 concept bumper.

Edit: Starring back at the bumper for a few minutes, it doesn't look too too bad. From far, it certainly looks different than most thinks out there, which is cool.

Cars look good, but i'm not feeling the bumper.

Kind of reminds me of an evo

Damn Luis, your car looks awesome as always; even with the stock wheels.

However, your nephew's srt looks like it needs some work. I think if you clean up the bumper (maybe redo the evo lines), and possibly add a nostril badge, it could look pretty good. It just seems a little....lopsided at the moment; needs something to even it out. And polish those headlights!

Your car looks sexy Luis, not a fan of the Pudge style bumper on the silver one though. :\

i think the silver one can be fixed. that style CAN look nice when it's not a "backyard custom"

Needs. Big. Shiny. Inter. Cooler.

And in the one remaining nostril it needs some sort of carbon fiber surround/duct work. Removal of the EVO look would be better IMO too.

Red Car is oh so yummy!

I don't know about the silver bumper. I don't like it but it could just be the evo style which I dislike. Either way it definitely needs to be cleaned up. Red SRT looks beautiful as always

Nice shots. I was kind of liking the silver car's front bumper in this picture....

I think it's because you can't see the one nostril very good. It might look cool with both of them filled in, instead of just one.

SC62391 · Post by **SC62391** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 7:14 pm

Made this in paint. I like it better all filled
And i wanted to see what it would look like all cut out

quicksilvr · Post by **quicksilvr** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 7:19 pm

^Yeah, all filled in looks cool. Then paint the bottom of the bumper silver again, and leave just the crosshairs blacked out.

hey guys thanks for all the compliments. I got some stuff in the works after my wedding.. i have to keep saving right now since wedding is in october.

i like the all filled in look too, ill let him know. he plans on fixing up the body. The front bumper came how it is, he really likes it but agrees that it needs proper paint so he's saving up.. ballin on a e3 budget lol.

edit.. the car has some free blox lug nuts.. they stick out "steven style" lol but my old lugs were taken when they stole my rpf1s and my buddy gave me these free

DEFinitely filled is better.

Yeah I agree with the all filled look. Looks kinda funky with just one. Nice concept on the night shots tho. Good location. Just clean them both up next time and you'll have some calendar pics.

^ yea I need to learn how to use Photoshop. I just got my d3000 so im still learning. Thank you though, the location is a real small town, talking one stop light small lol that has a pretty old "downtown" area. I've always wanted to get some shots there and finally did.

SC62391 · Post by **SC62391** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 11:48 pm

I don't have photoshop :/

Does your nephew have any plans for the bumper?

You have amazing MS paint skills!!!!

I think if he made the on remaining nostril a little smaller too it would still look good

Something like this
