Thought I'd make one of these on here now. It's not much.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I got the car used in December of 04, with 26,000 miles on it and already had its first mod which was a low end aftermarket head unit. When I say low end I mean this thing didn’t even have anti-skip.
In February ’05 I did my first mod to it and that was to change out the stock muffler. I didn’t know squat at this time so I just stuck with opening up the muffler for a little better sound and performance and it looked better with the new tip.

The next thing I did was to change out the wheels and tires.
After an internal debate between Chrome and Powder Coated, Chrome won out and I went as big as I wanted to go that wouldn’t look ridiculous.
18’s baby. (Don’t Laugh)
Luckily this picture helped me remember what I did first, since I had the magnaflow sticker on the back window. And yes I like “The Crow”.
In May of 06 I decided I wanted to upgrade the sound a little bit. Since I was going to be a father soon I decided to treat myself to an early fathers day present.
So I did the best buy special and bought a new h/u, 2 12” subs, an new amp and the enclosure.
Sometime late 07 I decided to try an intake, I didn’t want to spend the money on an aem or another name brand so I went the DIY way and found the spectre stuff. I was pleasantly pleased with the result of my CAI, I noticed some pickup and it was a little bit more responsive.
After that I did the hidden antenna mod. (We all know what that looks like.)
All the while I was doing little things to my car I was driving with no power steering. So around tax time last year came the new steering column and new wheels and tires. My chrome rims got chipped and I didn’t want that style anymore and I needed new tires because I never got an alignment when I got rims the first time. (Dumbass)
This time I went with my gut and got powder coated and after some talking to the installer I decided to go down to 17” (I don’t regret it at all)
Next up were some things that were long overdue.

Homemade MP3 Player Mount
Dash Lights
I replaced the stock speakers in the doors and the rear.
Window Tint.
And then came the AEM ebay clearance sale. Finally put a legit CAI on my car.
Vinny opened up a tb for me. I guess they call it the STC Special
Put on EBC rotors.
Red Stuff pads
Put new drums on the rear.
Got the car painted. (Dark Spiral Grey Metallic)
Put the clear tails on.
Took the clear tails off and tinted the stockers.
New DVD Head Unit on order.
Things to come in due time.
Dp and exhaust solution.
Maybe even a small tune if it ever becomes an option
New positioning of Sub Enclosure
Blacked out headlights
