Sold my 5th gen on Wednesday. After selling it, I bought my dads share in our 6th gen.
Last weekend we got the transmission in it, so I have been driving it since wednesday. I really like it. Today I got my sub, amp, and head unit installed. I bought some kenwood speakers, but didnt get them in today. I also finished the climate control led conversion done, as well as the cluster conversion done. Anyway, I just made a few different orders for parts for it. I ordered the following... -17" wheels and tires (Black spokes with polished lip) -C-one front bumper -Clear turn signals and side markers -Side skirts -lowering springs(dropzone for now, until I can afford actual coilovers) After I get some time, and some more money saved up, I am going to repaint it completely. I havent decided on a color yet. I have it narrowed down to three colors. Metallic black, platinum silver metallic, and midnight blue metallic. |

Not yet. I will take pics of it all once I receive the parts. I cant wait to get them. I have been wanting to do all this stuff to it, but havent had the money. Then this kid tells me he wants to buy my 5th gen for an insane amount, and I cant pass that up.... lol

Thanks man.
I was hoping to get more pics today, but I had to work on my dads car, and then on my friends car all day, so I will get some tomorrow. Even though my wheels are 7.5" wide, I still need to get spacers. I think I am going to get some soon, and then they will sit flush with the fenders. My bumper should be here early this coming week, and so will my skirts, lights, and a couple other goodies. |
