I saw a bunch of threads about what people have done to their cars to this point so I figured I would start my own and add on as I continued to own the car. Some of the pictures might be repeats from some people who have already seen some of my posts but I wanted to compile them all in once place.
Enjoy!
01/13 I purchased the car bone stock with 181,638 miles on it for $2300. I was pretty happy with my purchase.

The first thing I did was take it to a shop and have the timing belt and all the fluids changed as well as had them give the car a full look over. Everything was fine.
04/13 I installed my first subwoofer ever, a single Kenwood 12" running on a 1000watt amp. At the time I sure was proud of it lol.
05/13 Got ahold of some interior LEDs, one of my favorite purchases for the car to this day. They have the sound activated and color changing modes, I'm a sucker for lights and LEDs. Also put in an additional 2 12" Kenwood subs and a 1000X2 amp.

09/13 Painted the factory wheels black and bought new hubcaps from them since I could not afford rims yet. Later got new tires put on the rims.

10/13 Finally upgraded the headunit to a nice Pioneer, I should have done this from the start.

01/14 Continuing on with my LED addiction, I got million color LED underglow. It was a fun little project and pretty cool effect at night too.

You can see both control panels for the interior glow and the underglow

03/14 I got rear ended coming into the parking lot at my school, the girl behind me was distracted (go figure) but it all got fixed.

04/14 Painted the trim and door handles black to add some contrast and match the wheels. Ended up debadging the trunk as well.

11/14 Purchased Spec-D tuning headlights, overall they are decent, wish the halos were brighter but they can be changed I just haven't. Ended up replacing my radiator with a little larger one because the old one had a hole in it.

1/15 Upgraded my subs to 2 15" JBls, I am very pleased with them. Also debadged the trunk and added LED dome lights, trunk lights, license plate lights, and turn signals.

(I have since taken off those shitty connectors and soldered and heat shrunk the resistors to the turn signals)
2/15 Thanks to Oakrdrs187, I was able to complete the foglight mod that allows you to run foglights with the parking light and high beams, thanks for your help!! Also added black mesh to the grill and check out the link here to see what I did with my windshield washers, actually turned out better than I was expecting lol.

I then proceeded to slide into an ice bank, denting my rear quarter panel pretty good. I was able to push it out then I was able to try my hand at body work for the first time. It turned out decent but would I do it again? Doubtful. Heres the link for the whole thread on the issue.
04/15 Took off my old, bubbling, purplish tint that came with the car when I bought it and replaced it with new, black tint, 35% front 20% rear.

As of right now I believe that's everything, I will update this as progress is made. What are your guys thoughts on it? I'd love to hear some more input.
Thanks!
