Oh, that car used to be in our showroom for a while.

Most of the VeilSIde parts on there are one-offs.

have fun with the new car!

...mine ain't as flashy, BUT I LOVE IT!: '04 Touring Coupe, 13,201 miles on it
when bought (Feb. 8th., '08); $22,000. Still has that new car scent in it!
No feathering problem, but, yes the driver's side power w. glitch is there,
as well as the gas latch thing (i.e. not popping open when you depress the
button once--under the dash--you got to hit it 4-5 times). At any rate, those minor nuisances can't interfere with my love affair!!!

i understand not everyone will like the car..as its very flashy and unique in terms of colours and bodykit...the colurs and bodykit are pretty much exactly what i wud have done with the car anyways

i love it tho...only thing i wasnt sure on were the rims..but theyve grown on me...and they're unique so i wont see anyone else with these EVER! lol...might chrome them...not sure

ehh don't chrome them. leave them as-is or ditch them. I like the car a lot, just not the wheels.

If I were you I would go FI since you have the exterior taken care of.

Yeah, start searching for Used Vortechs to finish off the car nicely.

yeah i'll look into new rims to see whats out there.. i'll do some searching..any rims you guys would recommend might look good on this car?

i'll post better interior pics when i get car...its pretty much stock interior besides the sparco seats and the DVD screen in centre console

and a clear bra is def a good idea!

If you sell the wheels, you should ask a high price.
Nobody else has those wheels, and that model is very rare to begin with.

cheers peeps!

oh theres plans for it...yeah the exterior may well be finshed off...new rims is an option but not something im jumping into...like i said interior is basically stock..so im gonna do something with that...not too flashy as this is gonna be my everday car so i dont want it broekn into..lol

but i still wanna do something to inside...and then once thats done probably next year will be engine work

only thing im adding this year is a cold air intake most likely...maybe a chip...any tips or recommendations u guys have are welcomed! whether its on what to do with interior, engine (wot kinda intake or chip- if any) or anything else
