So far all I have done is:
CAGS Eliminator
B&M shifter
K&N Filter (mad horsepowers)
Diablo Sport Tune
Came from the factory with the FG2 Nuremburg suspension
I will be adding a Magnaflow exhaust system and the little OEM rear lip spoiler here in the next month or two and I think that is going to be about it.

I'm just glad we didn't seal the center caps in black first lol.**All in all im really happy with how they turned out.**Can't wait to clean the car up and get my tires and wheels all purdy. Since I had the wheels off I painted up the centers of the rotors so they don't look all rusty like in the top pic lol. Yes, I admit it... I painted my brakes... mono windshield wiper soon to come

Rollin baller status, the wheels look really good! there are a handful of sick ass supercharged V's running around. I've always liked the look of CTS-V's and STS-V's with those grills. It sucks, my lil' car used to be faster than most of the cars running around which made up for it being so ugly, but down here all the rich old men are rocking DB9's, Z0-6 Vettes, 911 turbos are like civics, and numerous lambo's are rockin the streets too. Fuckin rich people not only have prettier cars than me, they're also faster:(

Yeah ive been talking to a lot of guys running the magnuson supercharger kits on their v's. Seems to put most of them in the high 11's. I just CAN"T justify spending $6500 for a 130RWHP gain though.... probably why I like nitrous so much hehe.

Thanks man. I'm really happy with how they turned out. Now I just need to add the factory rear lip spoiler and im done with cosmetics and back to go fast parts :-)
NIevo
04-07-2007, 09:53 PM
Looks good, what are your first "go fast" plans?
The Hog
04-07-2007, 10:11 PM
Going to throw on a Magnaflow exhaust system to start things out which is almost more cosmetic than performance. My exhaust system looks and sounds like it came on a Camry. I'm working on putting together a nice little nitrous system for it which should be a lot of fun. Nothing crazy just a little sigle stage plate hidden under the engine cover. Might end up buying one of those carbon fiber bottles and the billet mount for a little bling factor in back... we'll see.
I've gotta do a little work on the rear suspension to convert the cradle to a fixed mount to help eliminate some of this damn wheel hop.

If you need that lip sprayed or anything jut hit me up!!! Also if you need a shop for the day to work on that cradle set up just let me know and bring it down.

Yeah im sure i'll be hitting you up. As some point I need to pull the bumper skins and rework them. Someone had given the car a little love tap in the rear and ive got license plate screw marks indented in it. Ive got a similar thing in the front (along with that front license plate needing to go bye bye).

Anapped a couple more pics today after cleaning the thing up and putting on a couple new toys.

Looking good:bigthumbs: Looks like it needs lowered alittle more though.
The Hog
04-30-2007, 09:36 PM
I'll tell you what, its surprisingly low to the ground right now when you look at it from the side. Ive talked to a couple guys who have lowered them and almost all of them put the factory springs back on after bashing their front ends all up. Also I need all the ride height I can get for turbo clearance :-)
NIevo
04-30-2007, 10:35 PM
Thats probably true with the front. I know the 300C SRT-8's are the same way, you cant really lower them cause the front facia is already on the ground.
The Hog
04-30-2007, 10:43 PM
Yeah its pretty low up there. Just BARELY clears the 6" concrete curbing in parking lots.
