Me too but there is nothing else out there that would make me as happy and I don't want used. Some of the members still modding with legit quality parts keeps me going.

 

Thanks for the tip bro!

I feel the same year after year.

 

No worries, those same people are totaling their Zs making ours that much rarer, day by day

 

Running skinnier tires in the rear(225's on this car) than they the car comes stock(245's)

 

thanks Dugan

Damn OP. You really did this one over.

 

Just looked at the bigger pics.

What's the wavy thing under the side skirts?

Also, the exhaust tips are crooked.

 

"side splitters"

 

LOL Its amazing where you can dig up a little good info!
I have to fix my door too!

You've all seen it. And probably thought "what is this bullsh** in front of me...?"

 

I'm surprised there's no bullsh*t anodized aluminum tow hook

 

I would never Plasitidip my car but kudos for being one of the very few ladies on here who's taking a hands on approach to modding your car. I think once you get good at it it'll come out better looking.

 

I honestly am not feeling the color at all..but as long as you like it that's all that matters. I would get spacers for the rear though or maybe different wheels since you have 225 in the rear and they don't look very stretched which leads to me believing that the wheels are narrow.

I would also remove the tree, the stickers and fix your exhaust tips which seem to look crooked, as well as the fake Japanese plate..and paint your lip at least so it doesn't look so cheap.

 

i like your Dip i just hate your wheels, front lip and the JDM plate No.

otherwise.. good job!

 

I guess a response to some of the questions/complaints!

This was my first ever job, and definitely not my best. Going to do a solid color next time for sure and do it way better! (probably get a nicer gun too)

Because I'm not a pro, it came out kind of . . textured. Think skateboard grip tape. I did what I could to fix it. TONS OF PAINT THINNER. But it ain't perfect. The camera picks up this texture and makes it look like ***. From 10ft the car looks awesome.

The tree is to "keep the streets fresh". A friend I cared about a lot used to do it and I honor him by doing it.

The wavy things are side splitters, as someone mentioned. My side skirts are ****ED UP (dropped it on a jack once, low problems, etc). So that helped cover it up.

I didn't know about the gas door but THANK YOU. It annoyed me to no end and I thought it was just because it was shitty. Plus I tapped a screen door with the back end right next to that once, and I thought that had caused it.

The lip, I ain't paying for carbon fiber (the only "nice" alternative I'd consider) cuz I'd RIP THE **** OUT OF IT. That lip has already been broken into pieces and glued together. Thankfully I only paid $60 for it. Also, it IS painted. Black in fact (I don't like color matching).

The wheels are correct and the fitment looks better in person (I might go to 10.5 in the rear later) It's the fact that I'm not rolled that makes it look weird. I can't even fit a credit card in there right now, once I roll I can lower it some more and it'll be flush.

As for the paint underneath, it's starting to fade and the clearcoat is cracking (not to mention the HORRENDOUS rock chips I have) I used to live in FL and it baked bad, and I drive between MA/FL/IA often enough that the front end is destroyed by rocks. I figured I'd try this before I went out and bought a whole new front bumper/repaint. He's Nogaro red underneath.

And while I don't mind criticism, at all (even the kind that's just spewing garbage and could barely be counted as criticism anymore), I guess I should just mention that my car is built to draw a FREAKING SHITTON OF ATTENTION. And it does. A LOT. Idgaf if it's positive or negative. And everyone sees me a mile away, cuz I'm ****ing purple and **** (talk about safety! everyone knows where I am). I make little girls scream out in glee when they see a pink car. Little boys scream and chase after me. My car makes people happy. That's all I ever wanted from a car, and he delivers! He makes people smile and laugh and point and giggle! It gives them something to talk about, something to make fun of, a reason for them to come up to me and make friends. I get 100x more comments and vistors at the muscle car shows around here because I'm different and ricey and weird ( I live in the midwest now). Some are negative, lots are positive, but it gets people talking and smiling and laughing. And I LOVE that it gets women interested in my car. When they see me driving or sitting next to it they come right up to me and want to know everything! how I got into cars, how hard is it, do I do my own work, and even some particular questions some times. I love that my car might help a teeny tiny bit with getting more women interested in cars, because I want them to share the love I do!

Mad respect to people who build to race or build vip or build whatever.

I build my way because I love making people smile.

 

I got much attention too when I spray painted my 1989 plymouth reliant in a walmart parking lot and drove around with it for a month before junking it.

I bet if I whip my genitals out, wrap it around my wrist at a bar and ask people for the time, I would get a lot of attention also.

 

There's a BIG difference between "getting attention" and "making people happy". Making people happy makes me happy. Flashing them with my tiny genitals on the other hand . . .
