So I've been working down 3 miles of dirt road for the last year and a half and the old girl has taken a bit of a beating. At the worst I took the skirts off to prevent them getting any more damage.
Well, now I'm done so I have put everything back on and she's looking good. What do you think?

Mirko was being test fitted but the only pic I had, forgot to mention that.
Just got brand new tires today, along with powersteering, brake and trans fluid flush. Actually tires look really big, switched from 215/50/16 to 225/50/16, I already like them.
 
you should have seen my tires. nothing left. id pull into my driveway and squeal the whole way. everyone that was at hooters can vouch for me.
 
So you took the sideskirts off to avoid damage, but left the Mirko on? :confused:

Lmao are u serious it's stock white color.....

I think pople would figure that out.

Other than that, looks good. now drop that car. that front wheel gap looks :shocked:
 
Looks good.

Now lower it:laugh:
I'm very tempted. After this latest maintenance I'm going to have to wait a while, but it is on the list.
Also didn't mention that I just did a rattle can job on the mirko. Came out pretty good considering I think.
 
much better! I was going to ask if it looked a shade or two lighter then the car. but came out pretty clean from the looks of it none the less!

car would deff look nice with some springs... check the classifieds. always good springs/kits for sale!
 
Colour looks pretty good, maybe half a shade off but hard to notice. Only thing is that theres a bit of dust in the clear coat which makes it feel rough. Once it gets a bit dinged up I might sand it back and try and get a better finish, but its fine for now. I'm actually pretty proud of how it came out, by far the best DIY outcome I've had.
 
The car looks good - I like the splitter .
I agree - look into sport/lowering springs . Follow Stazi's How-To & do it yourself , it's not that hard (I've done it a few times) . It'll save you lots of $$$ .
