heheheh, Jedi54? Ngo, well, yes.....I'm still trying to think what Jedi has done to his car that you would be able to see from the outside, other than the 18 coats of Zaino....

I don't have any bone stock pics of my 8...bought the car loaded on the interior, but nothing on the outside....I think the closest I have is when I began modding the outside, replacing the appearance package items with MS parts....

EDIT: Just noticed, in addition to MS wing, I had strakes and RB exhaust at the time of my "before" shot....not really stock at all, but the best I have.

Ouch, don't insult me like that. I surpassed 18 coats like 6 months ago...


New mod added on Saturday so I'll resize the photos and post tomorrow. (if you guys know what it is, don't spoil the surprise)

Your rims are awesome. I love them. Not to mention, I haven't seen anyone else on this board with them so that makes me like them even more. Congrats!

I forgot. I didnt put everything all at once. I try to save up,so whenever some second hand goods turn up, I would be able to buy it. I also sell some of the things first before I change it to something else.So its all about the timing I guess. Also I did all the bodykit and bodywork by myself so...save a lot of money there.
