I'm Curious, So Let Me Know! - NOS2Go4Me - 06-28-2005
It won't really influence my modding decisions either way, but curiousity has gotten the better of me here. Just vote and let me know what you thought of my car on Saturday.
As always, comments are welcome whether they're compliments or criticisms. :)
Just wondering if you guys were being "tastefully quiet" when the BBQ / photoshoot was going on, or if it was actually thought to be done in good taste.
Thanks :)

Break out the Nightshade, time to do the windshield. :lol:

The rims really added to the look... Now get a drop :D

I think what would really make your car stand out among the rest would be to invest in some lowering springs.
My car looked just like another sedan until I lowered it.
It's looking good though. B)

Just can't understand why you went for the S2 rims instead of investing in something a little more aftermarket. Car looks good, but as everyone's already said, drop it at least an inch and a half
I'm Curious, So Let Me Know! - NOS2Go4Me - 06-28-2005
I appreciate it, boys.
I went with the S2 rims because I couldn't really find any other 16"s I liked. That, and Hardk0re gave me a sweet deal on them. :D
As for the suspension, I'm going with the SVT retrofit as it's a complete package, anti-roll bars and all, and it's a moderate drop (.5 - .75"). Anything more and the roads / extreme snowfall up here will murder the poor car.
Keep 'em comin, I'm grateful for the open dialogue!
And who voted Niteshit! :angry: :lol:

well you could go a bit more with some euro parts like bumpers & such. Or some Smoked side repeaters. Not to mention going with more paint accents in the interior.

I like the Euro stuff, but I wanted to go understated. So far, so good. Good idea tho :)
Smoked side repeaters? You mean those fender-mount blinkers? Yech, no thanks, not for me.
Paint accents inside are a good idea, but wait till the final piece de resistance goes on inside... you'll forget about painting anything :D ;)

The S2 rims look killer :)
You've ran out of stuff to nightshit so thats good :P
dunno what else you could do, your car looks very nice...

Here's a compliment. So take it as it comes. The car wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. But I wouldn't take it further than it is with the you-know-what.
And the rims are good for now.
Clean the engine bay somehow.
It is definately a very different look, but not overly done. Yet.
It's not Sl8rs car, but props for your efforts.
Now someone stop giving him the cans of niteshit and everything will be just fine.
Step away from the can!

I think its looking good.
Niteshit comment still applies. :P
Hit me up on msn....I have a few ideas for your car that will clean it up nice, that wont brake the bank either.

Poor guy... so many nightshit comments :lol:
I'm Curious, So Let Me Know! - NOS2Go4Me - 06-29-2005
Actually, I'm surprised by the overwhelming support the car has received.
Bryan, I've run out of ideas for the Niteshit :) I'm retooling my headlight idea as I've done some more lightbeam testing and I'm not convinced that any amount of Niteshade will be safe on the front lenses.
I appreciate the compliments and the suggestions guys :D B)
