Batman's OB Coupe Progression Thread

at Hi-Tech-G's constant urging I'm putting up my progression thread for my coupe. I bought her bone stock in April and have already gone thru several sets of wheels, Momo interior, custom headlights, engine upgrades, and my most recent acquisitions... body parts!

I'll take some pics today after I go to the car wash. Bad weather here in Boston has got my baby looking filthy so excuse the mess

Enjoy

STOCK










19" TSW THRUXTONS












































20" TSW NOGAROS




























GRILLE




ENGINE












HEADLIGHTS
















BODY KIT & 20" TSW THRUXTONS





























INTERIOR






20" VOLK GT-C & TS HOOD




















Changed headlights again... this time DUAL clearance strips!

yeah I hate the Boston winters. Too much snow and salt everywhere eating up the paint and chipping the hell out of whats left

can't wait to move to FL in the spring!

The grille had to go once I got the TS front bumper since the grille is built in on that one.

Very nice. I say the second set of rims was the best, but whatever, still looks $$.

Yeah I'm moving down to either JAX or Orlando. Seriously looking to move down either mid April or the first week of May.

I do desktop support for a career so I'm hoping to find something down in that area to do when I get there (or if possible have a job to go to when I get there)

If I get into an accident an airbag isn't gonna do much of anything but make more of a mess

airbags are only effective under 100mph and I hardly ever drive that slow LOL

Snow here is a PITA big time. Can't wait to move and be all done with snow and salt on the roads in winter. Plus the cold weather I can live without too

With those 3 sets of TSW's you could have bought a nice set of wheels...

But if you are planning on keepig those wheels you need need NEED spacer like yesterday, especially since you have such an aggressice bodykit!

^+1 some high end wheels with good offsets is what you need for your car to be BALLIN! Some spacers would do but i'd just get some beast wheels.

Nice. The one thing that really bothers me are your wheel choices.. I dislike TSW's, esp in those designs.. imo.

I got the first set by trading my OEM wheels (no cash involved)

got the second set for $900 with tires locally on craigslist

got the third set from SundevilJay on here for $500 plus shipping

basically I got the TSW rims for cheap every time. I don't plan on staying on TSW wheels forever. I really want a set of Forgiato Vizzo wheels I just can't afford them right now

In the meantime i will try and get a set of spacers for the TSW wheels so they don't look so tucked

Will keep you guys posted
