Every car out there starts out the same way. Stock. Just looks like all the others, nothing real special, maybe a better looking one. Stratches dents and dings are a reality. I'm a person who has to make their car better. It's gotta stand out a bit. Next to a stock one, you'll be able to see differences. Well, that's what I set out to do.
The earliest pics I can find were after I made a "DRL" spoof. These are @ the bottom of the page The bright filament in the parking lamps could be activated by a switch. it looked neat, just like factory DRL's, but It didn't work out the best for me, and out it went.
As it sits today it definately has something about it that's different. The average person might not even catch it. But I'm sure car people do. It's lowered, got the shiny wheels, wide tires, got the stereo, and it's real clean lookin'
Here's how the car sits today.
Oh yeah, did I mention mods??
