If you saw my other thread from thursday abotu a bad day... I finally got my car back together, the hail didn't cause any damage, putting my car back together went very well, I finally got the front end to look right and fit decent, HUGE improvement (look at old pics of my car and look how it fit along the headlights and where the fenders meet the front end) And I finally broke down and bought that piece of @!#$ RKSport intake... I hate the company but its the only one that will clear my hood so I finally broike down and called up Karo.
Notice how the fenders and front end almost line up flush, it can't get any closer then that
Oh yeah I have high res pics for anyone who wants them...... just click pic go to properties... copy and paste the adress(URL) and paste it into browser but add "hires" to the file name....
something i always been curious to look good on your cav is some c/f tail inners.. and leave the stock outters... Always love your car tho. did u have to do some cutting for the bumper to fit a better or did u just have to play around with it? What happened to the blue tape
Glad to hear you didn't get any damage. Car looks great as always!
thank you to

I had the Carbon fiber tails but they lasted about 3 hours and I got rid of them hahah, untill there is REAL carbon fiber taillights not just printed plastic I'm keeping those. I love the stock ones. As for the bumper.... the shop did it orginally, as soon as I got home I took it all apart and made it look better, they didn't cut and trim the front end they just stuck it over and said here you go se eyou later, so I pulled it apart and hacked the @!#$ out of the front end and I painted the area on the stock bumper flat black to hide the stock fog lights housing that are still in there behind the grills, I did alot of work. A few times already I've pulled things out here and there trying to get good fitment and never happened, so this time I went all out, cuting glueing, shaving triming, epoxying, modified the cover, the stock front end, and the fenders, alot of work but finally looks decent, not perfect but decent....

would the AEM intake rub?
thanks and I don't know about the AEM, i never got a chance to test fit anyones, I was surposse to test one out and buy it form a guy near me but he wanted $150 for a used AEM he tried to modify and now the filter has to be duct tape on, so I figured why not pay a few bucks more and get a brand new one that I know fits and goes together how it should
Re: **Darkstars** new pics, update, new mod = no 5
just noticed somethign funny... through the pics there are like 6-7 american flags in the pics, weather its in the background or reflection on the car or whatever can you find them all hahahah
Re: **Darkstars** new pics, update, new mod = no 5
Very nice setup you got there. Did you get stock black interior? That would have been nice as an option on my fire but I could only get graphite. Oh yea, and why do you have a police interceptor badge? I'm guessing it's a joke but it's kinda cheapening your look. the look is too good for jokes!

lol! its lookin good ryan. glad there wasn't any hail damage to it. too bad you didn't come to the meet yesterday. it's been awhile since i've seen it in person. plus it didn't thunderstorm. just some light sprinkles off and on. oh well next time i guess.

^^^i was thinking the same thing...
thanks dude, that salways been what I was going for, clean and simple, somethign that stands out without sticking out and if you didn't know the cars you'd mistake alot of it for stock. An i arleay replied to his AEM comment.
adam and brandom thanks, and brandon sorry for not making it otu to the meet, I was't gonna risk it since when I got in the hail a few days ago they were syaing "chance of scattered thunerstorms hahaha, I wasn't go gonna drive to it this time hahahah. but yeah get the pics up
Re: **Darkstars** new pics, update, new mod = no 5
looks great. i've always loved that car. kinda makes me wish mine was silver too. it seems like it's so much easier to keep clean than black. everything looks great. glad to hear your car made it out of the hail alright. keep up the good work.
