Car Makeover [Pictures]

[sc20]

Whats up my NICO family
Ive been lurking the forums for about a year since I got my 2010 coupe, but I haven’t properly introduced her. She’s a 2010 Dark Slate 2.5s. I drove her off the dealer lot May 7th of last year and have slowly been getting her looking the way I want. So far I’ve done the listed mods…
Before Anything

-Tinted Windows
-Debadged
-Fog Lights
-Custom Exhaust- Wider tubing from axle-back with a Spin-Tech Muffler

-K&N Typhoon Short Ram Intake

-HID 5000k Low beams and fogs

-LED Interior/License/Reverse


-Black 19” Wheels wrapped in 225/40/19 Hankook Ventus V12 tires
Before

After




-Tinted side markers

This car has definitely surprised me and after adding these mods, I don’t feel so bad for turning down a 2010 Camaro.
Future mods to come
-C-mod grille
-Taillight Overlays
-Coilovers (saving up for the drop, I just couldn’t stand the stock wheels any longer.)
Tell me what you guys think

Looks good! I'm digging the tinted side markers too, that's something I might have to look into. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the compliment
The tinted sidemarkers have to be the cheapest and coolest mod I've done to my car. I'm not the type of person that goes out to Autozone and "Pimps" their cars out, but I was tempted to tint them. I bought a roll of tint 2.5'x6.5' for $10. It did take a while to get it right though, but it looks really cool. I got Limo tint and at night you can clearly see the lights flash.

I wonder if I've seen you since I go to UCR.

Looking good.

you can get some tail overlays from Blue B@t. He is local in San Diego and has installers in Riverside if you need.

Should check out our group if your in SD some time.

I like your SUV

[sc20]

I'm glad you guys all liked my style. Of course my car needs to be dropped, but I'm saving up. It's tough to mod your car the way you'd like to as a college student, but it'll get there.

Probably not. I have tons of friends that go to UCR, but I actually live at UCI and I'm only in Riverside on the weekends, well now for summer. I didn't like UCR, but driving to orange county is a P.I.A. and I sometimes wish I would have chosen UCR....but ehhh

Yea I was thinking about hitting up bluebat about the overlays. I saw his pics on photobucket and they look pretty cool but im indecisive about whether to get GTR overlays or just completely cover the light

The tint for the sidemarkers will fall off, you cant use interior tint on an exterior part!

I include enough extra material in my tail kits for the fogs and for the side markers...
