    The Check List: Huge Update

    Welcome to The Check List.
    I want to buy a new car, and let the G sit. Make it my project car, and make it custom the way I always wanted. I've change my plans a few times due to my surroundings. Not enough cash flow/people constantly saying what a waste of time it is. Its getting high miles, but hopefully it will last. If not, I can always buy a new one later on and start over. In the mean time, I'm starting to collect and save parts.

    Here you will see the stages that my car has gone through.


    The NEW check list:
    Exterior:
    -New Paint job, all the scratches are NOT from me. (Blue still searching for the color I want.)
    -USDM Cyber 2 body kit. Ive always wanted this one so i can keep the grill.
    -Cut the fins of the grill, and re-paint it either color match or chrome.
    -EGR Visor. Got a good price, let me know.
    -Streetglow again, this time no ticket
    -MAYBE stock wing.
    -Eventually get new rims as I finally sold mine. (LAST because they will finish the car.)
    -SORRY guys, still no drop for me.

    Interior:
    -Complete detail.
    -Black/beige combo OR Black Blue like I tried BUT to match the outside paint.
    -Would be full not Black/Blue/Beige like before.
    -Carbon Fiber (if i find someone to do it right)
    -Sony System installed

    As I get or find more ideas, I'll add them. I don't expect this to start for a while. BUT It's nice to set a plan.

    Any and all opinions will be sought for. PLEASE, the negitive comments should be more of leading in a better direction or a better idea. They should be helpful and not just YOU SUCK. Think what you like, but I will take all comments into consideration about the plans I do.

    Thanks for looking.

    hopefully the next step of the car will change your mind about that

    not feeling the muffler sticking out so far, sorry man. i like the rims, but you need a drop too.

    If you post stupid and incorrect information, you will get red nuggets.

    muffler is getting fixed soon. i need to talk to my friend who did it. i think its the angle and the way its hanging but it will maybe stick out only .5-1" when its in the right black

    drop, eh not a fan, but maybe ill surprise everyone

  8. #8
    why arent you a fan of the drop? bro......it makes the car look soooooo much better. it will also handle better. i live in maine, yeah thats right...maine. up untill this year ive never bottomed out on anything. i did hit a big ice ball in the road the other day and did put a crack on the lower lip part of my bumper but im putting the mugen lip over it anyways so no hharm done i guess. but man......that should be the first thing done bro.....lower your shit man. if your planning on a body kit than a drop is almost a necessity. it will look hideouse with a big agressive kit and a huge front wheel gap riding on stock suspension. i will never ride on stock suspension ever again. after feeling the difrence with just a spring strut combo, i cant ever go back to riding on shitty stock suspension. but yeah... definatly fix the exhaust man.

    yea, idn i mean i just dont have the tools to do a drop, my cousin lifted his truck so maybe he'd help me, but idn, i dont want a HUGE drop if i was to do it, but then whats the point of only like a .75 front and 1 back?

    you should just lift the rear to match the front, and get some wide tires

    i just put some new pics up in the first post, look under "Blue and Black Interior"
    maybe this will show some of you where im heading with this interior customization, i know alot of you hated the blue at first, but maybe with the black it will hopefully change some of your minds. personally, it looked good before but now with the black, which i hardly really added, it looks awesome in person

    I Thinks everything looks ok except the blue tint...Would look sweet f it was like 5% black
