New look for my 05

[JEWC_Motorsports]

I like your car as is, those stripes are very nice.

Got the strut brace and hood struts installed. Upper and Lower grill is arriving today and I will probably install them tonight. Time permitting, I will probably get started on installing the control arms as well.

That engine bay looks great. Are those all new hoses or are they just red covers?

And what kind of springs are on it?

Those are just wire covers. I was trying to make it look like the stripes carried through the engine bay.

I have an Eibach Pro Kit installed.

I managed to get the fog lights and horn relocated last night. Really like the clean look.

Upper and lower grill on. The rest of the stripes are done. Only thing left now is to install the control arms this afternoon.

Finally finished all the mods from this winter and have the car on the road. Sure missed driving it. Had to lay a big patch of rubber to celebrate!

Here are some more pictures to update this thread. Was working with the Gold Class wax and snapped a couple pics.

Car looks good man. How do you like the new lower control arms? Can you tell a difference over stock? Fairly easy install? Worth the money?

 

[Beerhunter]

The new LCA's are awesome. The front end is nice and tight now. Part of that performance may be due to the strut brace as well though. Definately a difference over stock.
The install was not really too bad. Worst part is working with dry bolts in limited space. I would have loved to have had a hoist so I could get my body into it (so to speak). I did the wrenching on the ground which made the job a lot more difficult. They were cheap to buy so they were well worth the money.

^^^ Cool. Thanks for the info. Been looking at adding these to my mod list. ^^^

Hunter, i was thinking about getting some of these stripes, can he do a red stripe with a black pin stripe?

No you can't get it done (by him) that way. I did this custom. The 1/4" pin is by far the easiest part to do though.

I have been thinking hard about adding some black reflective lettering to the front of the side stripes but I can't come up with a name... maybe something like GT/LJS (my initials) but will have to see... the stripe with no lettering looks good so I may not mess with it

ok i see. he offers the stripes with a pin stripe option, Is the pin stripe he sells, is it the same color as the stripe its self?

Yes, he cuts the vinyl and can only do the stripes in the same color. I just ripped the (same color) pin off right after installing.

ok thanks man, i got you! i took the blacks off and want to go back with red i think, but the bumpers worry me for shure, as you already posted, you cant hardly beat his prices for shure,you think they are a good quality vinyl?
