UPDATED!!!!1!!i bought this car back in march for $500 it needed an alternator, rear struts, and some minor bodywork



i traded some crap 19s for these 17x8 , 17x9 a-tech weapon wheels



replaced the struts with coilovers



then sent it to paint and bodywork



and this is how it sits now

let me know what you think

ok its been over a year now and this is what ive done with the 240

first some 300 front brakesthen 300 subframe collars3in straight pipesexy kouki tallightsstage 3 clutchand most important the turbo set up

My car is the same color, I'm very curious as well about this. If maaco can do that to my car for low funds, I'm down. :D

My Maaco redone car has been fine for the last six or seven, up close or otherwise... But not all paintshops, or Maacos, are created equally in any case.

Totally class, I love how most people probably would have put some kit on it having to replace the bumper, but you didn't.

You also ditched the mudflaps, good job

i didn't realize that megan was using white cheddar cheese curls to pack their coilovers. i might have to get me a set, snacks are always good while installing parts.
