Did a full custom exhaust, small high-flow cat, with bigger piping all the way back, to a small tip, sounds really good.

After i did these things, I saved for a month, bought a c-1 body kit, saved a couple weeks, bought z3 fenders, saved for a whole summer, and bought a 2000 dollar paint job with dupont bluish/greyish metallic paint and it began.

So everybody I hope you guys enjoyed it. Long story but really i know its hard to see but the paint and body actually had many imperfections, i mean to everyone thats seen it, they think its amazying but for 2000 i didnt wanna be able to find an imperfection so i am taking the car to get "touched up" and sutracting that from the guys payment. Like i said i drove to school with a crappy looking car for several months and after putting all of the money i worked for. I have the best car at my school, and the good part about it. Mommy and daddy didnt buy me a new mustang or anything. Everything was paid for by me. Well im ordering some eibachs this weekend to lower it, and if you guys have any other advice, i would love to hear it. Thanks for your time.

the majority of us use photobucket, and all you need to use is the img url.

then it should be popping up no problem.

wow that looks sick

weren't you about to give up on this car because you couldn't get the motor mounts lined up?

Nice work, good job on getting that bodykit to line up, I've always heard that the zyclone/c-1 kit had fitment issues, yours looks good though. Will look awesome when you lower it.

>

Thanks man. Just ordered the eibachs. That body kit was a bitch

>
Thanks. and no that wasnt me.

>

hey man i appreciate it. im ready to slam it.


Heyi really appreciate the help. thanks alot.

how'd you fit in the 7gen? what work did you do to make it work?

>

Well i honestly didnt think it would be bad but they just did not line up at all. so, i had a couple options. take me seat pan off the old seat and put it on the new one, or the other choice, which is what i did, take the mounts off your old seats, cut them off, grind them, whatever works, and i welded them to my new slliders. (Custom Brackets) instead of buy brackings for 200 bucks lol.

hahaha...that is my route too...i like the new 7gc seat rails...

Dam this car looks really good! Cant express how much i love the paint colour you chose and the kit is very aggressive. The ?many? spoke rims suit it alot. Please do the right thing now and get a set of coilovers and drop her down abit, only thing holding it back right now in terms of looks. And it also looks like interior may need abit of work (looking at your centre armrest)

>

My center part has a couple spots but besides that the interior is beautiful now. Just put in very nice 7g seats, and the backseats are perfect. got a nice console besides that armrest, perfect steerting wheel, new floormats. as far as lowering, i wanted to go with springs, i dont wanna spend 800 bucks when im simply going for looks, not suspension performance necessarily. Buy hey man thanks alot for the compliments, and advice.
