My Car

[lavon_andy]

Don't think I've done an introduction of posted pictures of my car so here it goes...

Pretty basic, don't have money to do any fancy mods so I've just done a few things.

Most of my energy goes towards washing the car every week

It's a 2010 I got back in June, these are recent pictures (with my iPhone lol). It's a 2.5, don't hate I don't need to go any faster then it does (my previous vehicle was a 5.9l v8 2000 Dodge Dakota and I do not miss the v8). Hate on the CVT all you want but I love it (I don't plan on getting alot of go fast mods like turbo header etc.).


Here's my very short mod list:

Nissan fog lights (easy to install as all get out, and well worth the price of the kit from Nissan versus Ebay)
Factory Steering Wheel Controls (didnt come with car, had to add)
Ipod cable for factory stereo
Window Tint
Takeda cold air intake

I know, not that exciting but I love it.









here's the steering wheel controls


Planned mods:

New headunit
Backup Camera
GPS
Sub (singular ftw)
Grill (if cmod ever coems out for 2010)
Powder coat factory wheels to a darker grey
HIDS
Interior LEDS
Underhood lighting
Footwell Lighting
Fiberglass Eyelids (don't like how the vinyl ones looks, no offense to what's out there)

[soxypoo]

No plans to go lower?! Dude you need to get rid of that nasty wheel gap!

[AlexM.]

As long as you are happy thats all that matters. But yeah I'd probably take some of the money for the future mods and put it towards lowering the car. But those mods are nice too

it's hard for me to make Saturday night meets honestly, but next one that comes up I'll try to be there and kick your butt on halo reach
J/K I'm not that great at reach (just heard yall play it sometimes lol)

coilovers are too expensive and springs are too gay. plus I have potholes the size of lakes where I live

that and the fact that I want to get a 300zx in the next few years and keep my AC as a DD, now if I found coilovers for around 700-800 I'd be s*** happy and get those :P

[PHENOMenalVinyl]

you can find them used for like 600 thats wat i paid plus the springs are great for a dd. Overall the springs just make it look stock instead of a 4x4. I never scraped with them but i got the coils and now im slammed

also how much they charge you for the steering wheel buttons

[lavon_andy]

They were like 80 bucks I think, I got them and they were just plug and play

[jewelz505]

eww no, not my style

...Said the 2.5 CVT Newb...

What does having a 2.5 cvt have to do with not wanting to do blacked out tails? Every Mexican and their mother does blacked out tails where I live. It's like lamb doors, overdone and tacky on most cars.

[elfenlied8]

epecially LED tail lights

[jewelz505]

awwww sheeeeeed, y0 Phenom kick his azz!! ha

most likely, lots of black tails and piolin radio station bumper stickers

But in my opinion black tails look good when done right, on black cars and maybe a few others (keyword here is few).

I've been told by so many people lately to black my tails its ridiculous, everyone at the auto parts stores try to sell me nightshades even. But then I drive around and see green honda civics with blacked tails, yellow dodge rams with blacked tails, every scion Tc around has blacked tails, and I've even seen a few minivans with blacked tails... And to top it off most of them are blotchy nightshade jobs; so yeah black tails aren't my style :P Plus OEM red looks gorgeous with the dark slate color.


But the amber front reflectors bother me at least lol

I think blacked out tails looks good on slate. But yeah a lot of people around where we live have them

[jewelz505]

LMMFAO

[nismogxs21]

i understand him completely... every1 keeps sayin to black out my tails as well but i feel like my car will have tooo much black...

BUT i love the blacked out tail light look on colored cars...

And to top it off most of them are blotchy nightshade jobs

obviously they're gonna look like s*** if they're slapped on in 2 seconds & the tails are all wrinkly lookin

You miss the point; however since you brought it up I'll pass on driving a mustang or a scion because everyone else does.

Honestly though I'm just an ***hole with a strong opinion (in this case against blacked tails for my car); it happens.
