Never created my own build thread. Figured I'd keep this thread updated as I continue with my car.
Former Name: iTz JERSEY

Day1



Then I bought Stasis Coils and wheels. I thought ASA's were cool at the time. :facepalm:


OEM 20th lip and skirts. Sat like this for awhile.


Switched out the PO's pos unit with a double din. OEM+ ftw.


Spacers.



Shaved hood/bumper. FK 2-bar grill.


Painted calipers a bronze/gold color to try and match turn signals. I think it came out alright.


Had enough of my wheels. Straight up trade for Aristos :D
Got almost a brand new 20th exhaust for free. Obviously I took it. Put it on the same day.


Took the liners and sway bar out. Looking back, I wish I had just cut holes in them instead of completely taking them out. :(

Bought matching ambers. Cruised like this all summer.



During the summer, took care of some maintenance :thumbup::thumbup:
-Bought a stubby and floor mats :)

Got some DZ1's from joshpwnstango



Only ran them for a month or so before I began hibernation and went in winter mode.

Took care of the headlights

Before:


After:


Bored at work and spent several hours doing this.


Thought stickers were cool. Before & After


DZ1. 17x8.5 & 17x10
Just ordered new Falkens. 205/45's & 215/45's

Still currently in the process of refinishing my wheels. Yes, they're fake splits. I have DZ centercaps to cover up the ugly multi-lug.


Just ordered Gold bolts/studs. Faces are candy white, bolts are gold, and lips will be polished.


Stupid Kielen's car getting worked on :heart:


Messed around with NickBroderick's old and new wheels




Instagram:



Ordered these today.

Lookin good dude!

Can I ask you didn't polish before you painted the centers since you have to mask that off now? ;)

Oh, and at least your fake splits have bolts that go all the way through....like real bolts :laugh: Mine just pulled out and had to glue 'em back in :laugh:
