CandlestickPark's 05 Sedan Progression Thread
47 Attachment(s)
I should have created this thread a long time ago. Rather than making separate threads when I do something new to the car I'll post in here.
When I first stumbled across driver after getting my car in 07 I wanted clear corners an OEM lip and Coupe 19s and I was going to be "done". After seeing some modded Sedans (and Coupes) at local meets and on driver I got bit by the mod bug.....hard.:o Thank you to all who have contributed to my build, ya'll know who you are, couldn't have done most of the stuff to my car without you guys. Who knew that through modding a car I would make so many friends and develop a passion for photography. Thread is a work in progress, still need to add some mods and pics....

When comes the audio? :D Did someone say audio?:D This will be installed in the near future hopefully, when I find time. The new baby put my projects in work on hold for a bit. Still gotta pick up a backup cam, PAC unit and maybe the bluetooth module. Attachment 254673 http://www.mynismo.com/images_products/7720.jpg |
