Ok, so here is my first love. a 2001 dodge stratus. I did all of my mods myself. (see page 2)

I won every car show I entered, with the biggest problem being, if I should enter in the import or domestic class because of the dodge, mitsubishi hybrid. The few things under the hood were an injen cold air intake and a helix spacer. At the time that I was done with all the cosmetic enhancements, they were still prototyping turbo kits and superchargers with some very negative drawbacks (i.e. melted motors). And to be honest, I just didn't have the budget to dump into a $4,000 supercharger. In the mean time I have since sold this beauty and one of a kind.... If you have any question, just leave a comment or hit me on Yahoo IM Draculia77.

The stripes are a custom blend designed myself. The carbon fiber hood was hand made and designed to be functional for a cold air intake. Each custom grill took an hour to make, custom fit, inserting into the the holes left by the plastic inserts and securing using the same screws. The headlights are completly custom as well. I started out by removing the headlight assembly and detaching the lens from the assembly. I painted some of the interior black just to darken it up and then reattached the lenses. I then taped and painted the  lenses with the same black as the car and clear coated the entire lens. The headlights are a bit dimmer at night but with the xenon bulbs it is still absolutely safe..

The paint starts at a tapper in the front, expanding and flowing up and over the hood, onto the roof and finally stoping at a point on the rear A pillars. also some good pics of my 18" rims wrapped in Falkens with drilled and slotted rotors.

This is a good pic of the back. Custom painted tail lights and reflectors. I used the same black as the code of the car so they match exactly as well as clear coated 'em. It is a good pic of the magnaflow exhaust. The second pic is messed up. For some reason my camera flipped the image so it looks like a right hand drive, but it is NOT..The interior pic shows the custom racing seats real well, the custom billet aluminumn rear view mirror (VERY DANGEROUS IN AN ACCIDENT), If you look close, you can see what the custom window tint looks like from the inside. I also have a short throw shifter and carbon fiber dash trim accents.

This is a good pic of the custom holographic window tint. I helped draw it up with the artist from Pro-tint, we then digitally resized it to fit my windows the way I wanted. They lazer cut the flames out of a roll of 20% holographic film and applied it first, so the color changes with the light. then they applied a layer of 35% window film over that. The holo film has a great rolling flame effect. By the percentages, it is illegal, but I never met a patrolman that did'nt like it.

a good pic of the tint outside.    rush1's 2001 Dodge Stratus

Here's a pic of the pioneer flip out dvd player, and a glipse of the short throw shifter. At the top of the second pic, you can just make out the carbon fiber rings around the vents.

Alphasonik 240 watts x 2 @ 4ohms amp. mounted on the back of the rear seat. That way I can display it when I want and hide it when I don't. Two 12" dual 8ohm voice-coil Alphasonik subs paralleled in an Alphasonik Bandpass enclosure in the trunk. The enclosure also has an orange streetglow tube that pulses with the beat. Having the amp on the back of the seat allows for more storage in the trunk, a super clean look because the wiring is tucked under the flap of fabric velcroed behind the seat, and also allows the amp to cool in the A/C of the cab with the seat down.

Very nice. I would really like to know if you modified the stock headlights or if you modded that yourself. Sorry if you say it somewhere on your site, i guess i'm just too lazy to search for it. Come check out my sebring, i have the eclipse spoiler on mine too. Keep up the good work. 5stars
