Bought the car in 2006 from a Toyota dealership. The car had 64,000kms on it when it was purchased. I have put about 3000 dollars into modifications.
The mods are as follows:
K&N Performance Air Filter
Silverstar headlights both high and low beams
Cherry Bomb glasspack muffler 2 1/4" with 3" Ractive tip
Wheels have been painted gunmetal to match the bottom trim (they are going to be sandblasted and repainted and clearcoated at the body shop when I get the car back)
I have also done some work with the stereo:
Jensen 160W CD/MP3/DVD Head unit with 3" screen
Pioneer 3-way 5 1/4" speakers in the front doors
MTX Thunder Dome 6X9" speakers out back
200 Watt Infinity Basslink 10" sub in the trunk with built in amp
Viper alarm system
Just before Easter Sunday I was rear ended by a drunk driver, who then promptly took off before i could get a look at the driver or car. My car has been in the body shop for 3 weeks being put back together, the idiot did $6300 dollars worth of damage to it. Here are the pictures of the damage done.
I am waiting to get it back hopefully on Thursday, will post some more pics then.

Got the car back from the bodyshop on Wednesday, after being in the shop for 3 and half weeks. They did an excellend job, I will post some more pictures on the weekend.

Here are the pictures of the car after it had been at the body shop.
Some of my planned upgrades are a Stage 1 performance package from 3800 Performance. This includes a new S/C pulley and CAI.
This is the interior after the new stereo was installed.
Shot of the back with the new exhaust and tip.
Buick plate FTW!
This was the section of the car that was repaired, the whole quarter panel, bumber, trunklid, finisher/mouldings etc. were replaced, they did a good job matching the paint.
I had the body shop refinish the factory rims. I had them painted to match the lower trim of the car back in 2007, but they looked really bad. The body shop sandblasted, painted, and clearcoated them, as well as taking the time to paint the center caps. I thought they did a good job.

Gas hit $1.40 a liter here in PEI, $1.48 for premium (which my car takes). I am trading in the buick for a 2003 mazda protege 5, it's just too expensive to put gas in her. It was nice while it lasted.
