So far I've been rebuilding my car from the ground up. All pictures are in sequential order by date of install.

JAVENGER's 1998 Dodge Avenger

First I installed Blue StreetGlow. This was my first mod ever, btw and is no longer on the car.

Next was my SSC Performance TunerX 17" rims. As you can see I also painted my front brake calipers red at this time.

Then I got brand new Kelly Springfield tires (215/50 R17) to fit around the new rims.

Then I ordered an AEM Dodge Avenger/Sebring 2.0 Cool Air Intake Kit from Ebay (Word of advice: dont buy from Ebay). The pipe ended up being way to long and I ended up having to cut it.

Next I got 5% Limo Tint put on, you know...for some privacy...

Then I mounted a TC Sportline Muffler onto the exhaust. As you can see things are starting to rust at this time. More on this later...

Next I went ahead and installed a 1200 Watt Sony Xplode Amp behind the backseat to conceal and protect it.

Then of course, I had to get 12" Sony Xplode Subs in the trunk and a new VIPER security system to protect it all.

With all of this done I decided to go ahead and join a local car club. I signed onto their forum and was eventually entered in. Diverse Concepts is where my heart lies now. These are just some photos I took at the time to use for websites and such.

Next I went ahead and cleaned up my engine bay. I added more blue hose covers, painted my engine block a light grey, removed my exhaust header cover and painted my exhaust headers a light grey. (CAUTION: Be careful what paint you use on the headers. They get extremely hot and if you use flamable paint you may catch your engine bay on fire). Here are some front pictures of the outcome.

Here is the left and right view of the outcome.

Next I finally had my body kit painted and put on. I absolutly hate when people put their kit on and dont ever get it painted so I decided to leave my kit in my basement untill I could afford to have it painted and put on. I looked for over a year for a decent paintshop and finnally found one. These are a few pics of the painting process. In these pics the guy has mounted the bumpers and sideskirts and is begining to mold.

Here he is finishing up the molding process and is begining to sand eliminated any rough or unsmooth surfaces.

Here he has finished sanding and is giving the car a base coat of grey.

Here is is done painting and is beginning to put the parts back on.

Next I had the intake tube and valve cover powdercoated black with sparkle to make it stand out from the croud. I may chrome the exhaust manifold and valve cover later on to get it some more shine.
