n00bMeiSter's Ride

[n00bMeiSter]

Here's my ride. Going to try and keep things clean and tasteful. Not going to go all out, or do anything to bring crazy amounts of attention. But I definitely am going to try and be as unique as possible. Got some ideas, going to see how they flush out over time.

Here's the full album:

First mod up is Open Mouth Grill.
I washed her on Saturday and took the before pics (seen above). And then Installed on Sunday.
Pics to come soon....


Mods to come:
- "3" in/on front grill (sorry blankets; not trying to be a copy-cat, but I really like this idea!)
- Tints
- Lip
- Eyelids
- Interior lighting system

I'm also hoping to get some better photos taken.

looks mint! Gotta love that freshly washed shine

[Roconne]

You live around that car wash? If so, I'm right down the street from that so I should see you around at some point lol.

Look forward to seeing some new pics of the mods you are planning.

[Takumi616]

can't wait to see more mods.. great pics!

[n00bMeiSter]

Thanks guys!

Roconne: I'm actually by markville mall, but I like that car wash the best. I'm in that area on a regular basis, hopefully we'll see each other around.

I've actually got the pics of the grill install, I just haven't had chance to edit and upload them. Hopefully sometime tomorrow night (technically tonight).

Throw up some pics with the grill!

[n00bMeiSter]

Pics coming tomorrow!

[n00bMeiSter]

A little late, but as promised here they are. The last one has unpainted eyelids on as well to see what it would look like. They were never actually put on.

Waiting......

Here's some pics of the rims. Had them installed a week ago thursday (tomorrow) at GoForTires. They swapped the rubber from my stocks onto these babies, and then balanced and installed. Very pleased with the service.

Sorry for the dirty car, haven't had chance to clean it in a while.

[n00bMeiSter]

I've got some night time pics to post as well. Hopefully I can get to them before lunch. If work would just stop getting in the way lol!

Thanks man! Hahaha, gotta save up for the drop. Looking to do it in the spring, or maybe the summer. Won't be too big of a drop though, I only want to go down about 1" (after settle if I go with springs)

Right now I'm trying to decide which I want to do first:
a) new sound system
b) lower
c) side skirts and new front bumper (I'd really like to get the 07-09 look going, love those fogs)
d) powder coat the rims (not sure what colour)
e) get some vinyl done (not sure exactly what I want)

I know for sure over the winter (well, preferably before it gets too cold out) I'm going to do some electrical / interior lighting work. Maybe get some illuminated scuff plates too.

I'm really hoping someone with good photography skills can help me get some good pics of my car so I can do some photo shopping over the winter.

Don't powdercoat the rims. Leave them as is. Lower the ride. There are tons of new and used springs on sale right now.

Well, I'm going to have to get them repainted, there's quite a few scratches from when I tested them out before I bought them. I didn't have the right sizes on the "4-way" that I had with me. The largest socket on it worked, but it was just barely small enough to fit in the hole. I can probably get away with using the touch-up pen I got with the car for now.

I'm not sure what I want in terms of new suspension. I don't want to lose any of the comfort / smoothness over bumps that I have now. I know that's going to happen if I lower, so I'm going to have to do some research.

Absolutely! I think I'm going to try and send it out this week.

[aZuMi]

Looking good man!!

[n00bMeiSter]

Thanks!

Night time pics!

This really was sorta my first attempt at doing any sort of photoshoot on/with my car heh.
It was freezing cold out, so they didn't turn out too well because I couldn't hold the camera still lol
But here's the ones that weren't too bad lol

[coriolis]

That desperate to buy stuff from Peter?

Looks good, I'd say no to front bumper, at least not right now.

[Soyabean]

HAHAHA, what time were you here at? I know peter stays at the shop late sometimes. But you've managed to take pics after he went home hahah
