going on my 2nd month of ownership

[elDizzle_foShizzle]

diggin the funky box for a couple months now. great daily driver. finally starting to look towards modding. slapped some wheels on em. not quite happy, but they'll do for now.

this car is definitely not a "go" car, so will work on basic aesthetics and ice...budget permitting. so off i go!

Why does the car looks like it has 15 different shades of blue?

HDR imaging. Search wiki on that topic. It's a passing trend in popular photography. Originally a trick used by pros to compensate for less than idea lighting. Then the average joes got a hold of it and went nuts with it and gave it a bad name.

Not a fan of HDR when applied with a heavy hand. The way it should be applied is when you can't tell it's been done (like the image looks natural, not heavily processed).

DING DING! Felonious wins a prize!

I have to agree w/ felonious. like anything out there, taking anything over the top may not be the best thing. here's a more "natural" shot (it is HDR):



Again, to each his or her own. if it floats your boat, great...if not? who the f*** cares? keep the shiny side up!

17 x 7. I like 'em for now. But I really want to get some lip action going. So I may get rid of them shortly.

[elDizzle_foShizzle]

LOWERED!!!



Definitely a work in progress. I already want to swap out my kicks!

[damian666robin]

Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean it's not a "go" car?

sorry...meant that it wasn't gonna break any quarter mile records even heavily modded. more for "show" than "go".

based on your write-up and input I installed the Megans! I'm diggin the ride but don't know long I can expect my oem shocks to last. Thx again for the info!

[elDizzle_foShizzle]

looks good, IMHO. rides great. dunno wtf is causing popping sounds coming from the front corners. any ideas? everything's been tightened to factory specs. ???

[TBrack]

Popping is normally caused by the springs not being seated correctly or installed wrong. It will also happen from cutting factory springs.

[elDizzle_foShizzle]

presto change-o! no popping! guess they finally seated properly! now...off to find nicer wheels!

another shot:

[Rand0m0sityxX]

The rims, eh. too many spokes for me.

[elDizzle_foShizzle]
