The idea behind this thread is to have pple postpics of their 5th gen cars in the factory or shitty state....and then post updated pics as they mod and fix s**t, so we can see progress, and maybe what they did/ how to's? Kinda like that stupid reality show the swan...maybe pple can vote at the end who had most improvement? just an idea...remember it costs money to Mod so pple probably wont update everyday...unless they're effing rich...i know i ain't....

heres my s**t to swan transformation .. its not done yet as you probably can tell.. this winter im dropping a B16a2 into her, fiberglassing the dash, moulding the lcd screen to dash, moulding the side skirts / bumpers to car, adding ground effects, getting OEM carbon hood, running dual exhaust from header back, getting frog eye gauge pod, full pillar pod, Autometer Tachometer, getting seats upholstered black / white leather, Racing pedals, and a bunch of other mods.. I've spent a year fixing it up, and i think right now its a lot better than it was.. needs a lot of work still though.
