egott_91 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) I always enjoy seeing pictures of other people cars and being able to whore mine out whenever possible. Lol. I also like to see the transformation some people have put their car through, whether it be restoring, modding, or demodding to bring it to it's glorious self. So, ladies and gentlemen, I figured it would be a cool idea to start a thread on what you have done to your cars/trucks since you have bought them. You can either just post pictures if they're all appearance, or you can add a detailed description along with it if you'd like. As for me, I'll just post pictures and if anyone has questions, they can ask. Here it goes! 1998 Chevrolet Camaro SS SLP #2008 Day I went and looked at it (don't ask why the moron put a shift light on an auto...) Once I got it washed off from being delivered on a flat bed (notice the crooked exhaust tip due to the flat bed driver) Chrome plate on the SS scoop inlet removed Clear side markers Painted brake calipers: Before: After: "Berger" mod: Painted behind grille: Lowered and New wheels: Before: After: New exhaust (from SLP loudmouth to Borlamouth through center mount): Before: (See above pictures) After: Grille change (from billet to custom painted SLP SS grille): Before: (See above pictures) After: My favorite mod: Finished product: Note: It may not look lowered that much in pictures, the camera makes it look like it sits higher, but in real life it sits perfect in my book. Also, somewhere along the line the 3rd brakelight and rear side markers got blacked out and I got a new SS nose emblem. So, everyone, let's see yours! As you can see, mine went through quite a transformation from bone stock appearance wise, to how it sits now. I also have a decal to put on the hood scoop this spring.

She was in her 80's and bought it in 1970 in San Diego. Got married, drove the car here to Oregon, parked it in that shed/barn and it sat there for 27 years until I bought it from her.

dipolley Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Well her is the evolution of my Sky Stock My first mod was to fill in the Saturn emblem on the front chrome piece and then it was painted with a cherry pearl. it lasted a year or so befor enough rock chips caused me to cover it with vinyl Carbon Fiber. while I was at it I made the hood vents functional and had them painted as well. Next was an RK Sport Hood And RK SPort Front Lip then the engine got a few upgrades including an new intercooler, IC pipes, CAI, and a FlowMaster Exhaust. You cant see the HP tune that is also installed. Then I came here and learned a little bit about detailing: Wrapped the interior with some faux carbon fiber. I also removed the fenders and made the side vents functional and wrapped them in the same stuff. Added some cool lights (OK I think they are cool but few others agree) Then everything was repainted, a new rear facia was created and installed, and it was finally one color again.

randyfox Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 The car with the biggest evolution was my old Civic. 2003-2005: How I bought it, white on white. AEM SRI, no name header and HKS Hi-Power exhaust. 2005: Painted Electron Blue Pearl, new wheels, Tokico Illumina suspension, Skunk 2 short throw shifter. 2005-2008: Edelbrock Open Track Turbo system (lots items in there), Skunk2 exhaust and test pipe, Turbo XS boost controller, APEXi Turbo Timer and Autometer gauges. Also changed my wheels again Limited Edition Matte Black Buddy Club P1 Racing SF Challenge with Work RS lugnuts. My God..the rock chips! 2008-2011: Swapped out the ricey body kit for OEM pieces And my absolute favorite picture of me and that car: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
