Before and After pics of your cars

I was wanting to see some before and after pics of your cars. I love seeing how much people have customized and changed the appearance. I myself didn't go too drastic but just added some slight cosmetic changes. If you can, decribe what you've done to the car as well.

This is what my car looked like when I first bought it. The bumper was in better condition though (moron backed into me). I added Trans Am ground effects and did a color change. I also added tint (5% with one piece back window) which these pics include because I couldn't find any pics without the tint.


The lexus has since been replaced with a 2002 vette.


and this is an after shot.


Alright lets see em!!

On the outside, there isn't too much change.... Under the hood is changed quite dramtically!

3 days after I bought the car..


Eh, not bad for 1,000 bucks.. drove it home with 4 lobes rounded over on the cam.


Here it is after the new paint and the first polishing job.


Here's the only shot I have that you can barely see the blue pearl in the clearcoat.

Here are some of mine: I still have to do rims and exhaust but oh well. The finished pic is in the sig. I painted it a really bright red and added a 2 inch cowl hood, a 355 engine, and some minor body work. I like it. But still no where near done...

Yeah, that list you made of things still to do is pretty long. As a matter of fact, you left it on my desk today. You left your jacket over at my house too. Again.
