Thanks to all who view my ride!

Xcess took off the old housing and welding a solid metal piece onto the rear fascia to create a solid piece. This way, it looks more like it is stock. No big gap between the trunk lid and the tail lights.

*My next BIG project (after engine) on the car will be getting '03 Hyundai Sonata headlights!

Old news:

This car has cost me a little bit of cash and a lot of time! What started out as just a daily driver turned into this. Basically, I bought this because my Volvo 240DL just did not look pimp enough. So, here I am with this stock granny wagon... She didn't need alot of work because it was already pretty tight, but I do alot of driving so I wanted it to look real clean. Not too rice, but a little...LOL. I couldn't think of what else to do to it besides put on a aero kit. However, I hesitated on doing that. I live in New Orleans and the streets here, combined with my wife sometimes driving my car, would turn a $1000 kit into little fiberglass bits all over the highway... I would like to give a BIG BIG thanks to my wife and Xcess Motorsports for putting up with me always talking about cars. This isn't like my drifter that I had while stationed in Okinawa, Japan ('89 Skyline) so don't expect too much power. But it looks tight and is good enough for any city driving (approx. 180hp).
