Default Summer Mods almost done

Its been a crazy wait on this. still waiting right now actually.
Bent my Volks and after 2 months of waiting, its all fixed now. only problem is valve stems are missing.
Tires took forever to get here as well. One pair(front/rear) came on time but the other Fedex loaded it to KS and had to wait extra 3 days for it to come.
They left it on the front porch with the welcome mat over it..Likes no one gona guess its a pair of tires..LOL...
Waited for months for Veilside to ship the V1 urethane kits...finally got hold of one and now its painted and on the car. one mod down.
stereo upgrade is almost done. got all the parts and waiting now on the sub box. Thanks Oakley for offering to help me out.

Now I just got find a spare car to load the tires/wheels to get the mounted..........

just wanted to rant about my car mod problems...

It will all be worth it in the end is something I have to tell myself everyday. Gives you a headache thinking and dealing with it. I think my next car won't have anything as drastic done to it like this one. With this car I will make the magazines which is something I've wanted to do so from now on only power mods, wheels, maybe a lip kit or something else small. - goodluck.

haha....that's pretty cool kbomb. I have my blacked-out/clear strip headlights to install, V4 plenum, greddy sides and maybe a UR crank pulley (if I don't sell it to someone on here)

summer modding is great!

They left your tires under the welcome mat? That's crazy. Who fixed your Volks?

Alright, 2 mods down, one more to go.
Rims are on the car. I must say the 285/255 setup is badass. im on stock height but man, the tire gap is pretty good.
now stereo...a good birthday present since I turned 28 this past week.
