Those flakes are beautiful.

[celicagurl152003]

bboy,
im probabily about 2-3 hours away from nj depending on what part. your best bet is to mapquest it. new oxford to the city u live in. and thanks for the compliment.

First and foremost, the car is dirty as junk, I know. I've had it in the garage since tuesday, trying to fix the oil leak and turbo problems.. no time to polish it when going to college, working 15-30hrs a week, and fixing the mechanics.

Before anyone says anything - I need to get my **** together and cut, bend, and weld up my intercooler piping and exhuast. (The intercooler is not plumbed, exhaust midpipe is stock). See above.

I'm also going to get some outdoor pictures of the paint and such, these dont do it much justice. Its not perfect, but its not too bad.

Hopefully I'll have some interior pictures up when I get all my components delivered... dont have an ETA on that yet. Probably redoing electrical, putting the racing seats back in, painting some things, maybe some fiberglass... etc. This is the bottom of my priority list

Some of you wanted to see the bottom of the Vis hood:





















some intercooler piping bends...

Price tag= How much did it all cost... I didn't know price tag meant anything else....

[celicagurl152003]

95celicast, for everything that was done to the car, with labor,parts (body kit, hood, engine components, ect.), and paint ect.....he ended up at $5000. The thing that made it so expensive was all the new parts as well as the engine rebuild...he only paid $1000 for the paint job. But it was still pricey (sp)

[celiracer]

I like the vader rear bumper, But it looks a lot better when the whole kit is vader or Veilside, cause then all the curves match. But mark you gotta really really nice ride. i love it.

[mark_426]

I usually thoguht it was polite to privately ask questions like that, guess you didn't get the insinuation.

However, that bill went up since I have to fix problems that weren't taken care of.. but at least its my labor this time.

edit. I wouldnt mind just having a rear lip.. but I didnt have a stock rear bumper.. so I wouldve had to find a stock panel, and then buy the lip. Most places sell invader parts with the zyclone front, for reasons beyond me.

personally not a fan of the invader rear, but i understand its the cheapest and widest available
