Here are a few pictures before any of the mods right as I got the car.

You can see the Twin Turbo Inline 6 in that picture. These are dealer pictures, I purchased it from Windy City Motorsports and am VERY pleased with their service, the car was in good condition and I loved it from first sight.

The first little photoshoot that I took in a small parking lot off of Tower Road.

The second little photoshoot before any mods or anything was with two of my friend with Audi's.

All of those pictures were taken with my friends nice camera on the top of the parking garage at The Glen in Glenview, IL.

After a wash and wax, I was up at Waukegan Airport getting some stuff from a friends hangar and felt it was the perfect chance to get some pictures. All of the following pictures were taken with a 5.0 Megapixel Canon Point and Shoot camera, nothing special my any means, which was placed on a 3ft tall tripod and I got some amazing results.

After a while I bought some 6000k HID's on eBay and they work GREAT!

Upper Engine Stabilizer Mount and some Poly Bushings that went unused due to the use of the QBM Strut Brace conversion.

The QBM Strut Brace Conversion, it is a GREAT upgrade and definitely helps out the handling.

Some pictures of what it all looks like installed.

I also picked up two 12" Dual Subs and a 580w Amplifier, they put out some good bump, I don't need brain rattling bass but a little bit more power feels great. Plus, I got it for a good deal so a little more bass for cheap is always a plus.

I also tinted my taillights and taped off the reverse light which I believe adds a bit more to the car because it matches the white and black theme. I ended up doing probably 8-10 VERY light coats to get this, and then finished it off with 3-4 light coats of clear. I like the sort of flat look to them opposed to polishing the taillights and making them shinier.

And heres a good comparison between my Dads S80 T6 stock taillights and my S80 T6's tinted taillights.
