Oil Catch Can 2. Eibach Lowering Springs 3. CIA (roto fab/injen) 4. Exhaust Exterior 1. Window tint (done) 2. Bowtie delete (in work) 3. Tail light and side marker tint 4. Engine dress up (eng cover, fuse box lid, etc.) 5. White LED's under the car (tasteful, NOT RICE!! lol) Here is the car currently: |

Update!
Wheels/Tires have been purchased. Got a GREAT deal on some OEM SS rims..Gloss Black PC w/clear. 245 in front 305 outback..1 has about a 5" curb rash, but very small...using gloss black model paint and then doing white vinyl rim stripes on them...they are shipping in the morning. Buys: White 20" wheel stripe vinyl LED license plate lights(match headlights/halos perfect) LED fog light bulbs (match headlights/halos perfect) Gloss Black hood spears (temporary until I go with the stripes) Krylon Fusion White gloss (DIY engine cover and fuse box) To buy: Tailight/sidemarker blackout kit Stainless Onyx CAMARO lettering for rear Lowering Springs This is the stuff I'll have done before C5Fest I'll get pics of the rims/spears/lights installed sometime when it all arrives.. It's fun to have a plan, and then go a different route...of course $$ makes a big factor but I'm happy so far! |
