    Icon10 My 8G ES Build

    Okay here she soon after I got her... My dad gave me her as a "graduation/youneedanewer-morereliable-car gift" on May 2, 2009.

    107,000 miles young

    This is my first "build thread" so bear with me as it may be a bit jumbled....



    nothing really special



    pretty much stock all the way around



    Backside before i started doing some work


    Since then I have done a good little bit to my G.

    It took me over a year to start modding things. After a new sound system, my first big thing was my intake, strut tower bar and HIDs

    Here's the engine bay now:



    ^eBay intake with custom bracket



    System:

    Pioneer HU
    Alpine 6x9s



    2 Kicker Comp12's, MTX Jackhammer JH-600


    HIDs/LED fogs


    Smoked tails/LED tail light bulbs




    Cleared Corners


    Fog mod




    Had a little incident at work (i backed a customer's truck into my door)



    I've also painted the grill black (until i de-fin it)



    I've also painted the interior trim black, changed to a 7G shifter, cleared and colored the needles and added white LEDs; also with 8Gb tails (smoked them out as well)

    What do you guys think?
