Smile A few pics of my ride..

I recently took my car to Complete Auto Body in Arlington,TX to revamp it a bit. The person that owned it before me did not know how to wash or wax it so the paint was very dull and hazy. The Claybar did nothing for it.

For those who know me well.. I'm very picky, so the only right way to match a 3-Stage Pearl paintjob when installing a bodykit is to respray the entire car. The kit was then fitted, painted and painted the rims to match as well. So needless to say I pretty much have a brand new car now.











Next up is the Brake Upgrade, Suspension, & A few Interior tweaks. Strangely enough I work for a Car Audio Shop and that is going to be the last thing I work on.

Authentic Kenstyle?! Me likes!!!

The wheels don't do the kit justice IMO, and I'd go just a little bit lower, but depending where in Arlington you're at, the roads might not allow it...

Looks like they did a real nice job with the paint though.

nice! Tommy did a bunch of friends cars back in 01-03. Looks like he's still doing a good job.

Not a fan of the kit or rims, but you made it look real nice (imo) good job with the selections.

I'm glad you pointed that out, yes the trunk lid needs a slight adjustment to close it a little bit more and it'll be good to go.

Yep, been getting mixed reviews about these. A lot of non-G owners love them though. I was just tired of the whole cookie cutter theme. I see far too many G's that look exactly the same and you never know who's behind the wheel. This way you know it's me for sure
