Default spring cleaning with a little stage 0

I think this is the right section, sorry if it's not.
So finally got everything the past owner modified in his own taste off the car and back to stock, with a little factory upgrading too. Also, fixed what this past winter and lazy washes did to my paint.

Just some progression shots.
Some of the first pics I posted on here, but here is what I started with


20's were pretty sunken looking, rubbed the spindle, and just plain weren't my syle. "Nisbay" seats, were too big for the car, and in turn made my head hit the roof over bumps and they squeaked constantly.

Current. Weather finally got warm enough to remove tint, and I also watched a couple youtube videos and read some write ups on making it less of a hassle. I think the car looks a lot cleaner without it, and is also safer at night. Not a single defroster line was broken that day either.




As she sits now. No tint, factory heated power leather seats, factory sport pedals, and 3 hours worth of claybar, buffing, polishing, and waxing.
gotta walk through my mud pit of a back yard everyday, so the floor doesn't stay clean for long.








I've been rocking this from my granda ever since I got my first car


I think I'm starting to catch the mod bug again too, I gotta finish paying it off before I do anything else though, but I really want a used Nismo s tune cat back and a limited slip. Also would like to get a bumper without license plate holes, but I may be moving to a front plate state within the next year.

Thanks for taking the time to read through or look at the pictures

Thanks for the compliments.

I kinda felt like Holmes on Homes with this car. Fixing everything the last guy did wrong. I'm just glad it was mostly bolt on stuff and that nothing was painted.
