What have you done to your vehicle lately?


For the few of us who seem to have vehicles have any of you done some mods? Any upgrades?

I've spent a few hundred on my car this month. I bought a blitz body kit, replacement fender, coilovers, break sensetivity adjustment, and I'm about to order some new wheels

I came across another Eclipse that.. well went to rice heaven. Trying to get the leather interior from that vehicle in mine. I prefer leather.. just because it's easier to keep clean and it's so comforting.

My car is on its way to the car show. I'll never be much on the track so I have to take them for style.

I'd suggest my car, but I dunno if your looking for demestic or import. I drive a 1996 Ford Thunderbird V8. It has lots of room, good sound, drives great and is fast. And all that is stock. They retail in the 7-9G range at this time used. Although I haven't checked prices in a while. The Ford modular V8 engine in there is great, reliable, and can be loud to scare the wannabe import noobs.

I went all out last summer on my truck. Here's some of the stuff I did.

Trusty bedrug


Gauge Pod Install


At night:


Chrome replica rims:


Replaced stock fogs


Also tinted the windows and all that good stuff. I am going to toss in a cat-back exaust this year, and thats probably about it. I have not done anything to my engine yet as I dont want to void the warranty right off

Wow, very "Grrr" Hamma. You'd fit in very well down here in Oklahoma.

I'm not a big truck fan but dang, yours is just sweet.

I got a pair of fuzzy dice and a nine ball for the stick in my 6x6.

I plan on getting the playboy bunny logo airbrushed on the drivers and passengers side doors, just for shits and giggles

I should replace its old gauges with LED readouts and put a V-Tek sticker on it somewhere, just to make it go faster I seriously need a new speedometer though, the current one stopped working a while back. Anyone know of any gauges that would look spiffy in an old army five ton 6x6?

I installed an Injen SRI and Revo short throw shifter in my rsx-s the weekend before last. I'll be getting new rubber and probably wheels in May along with coilovers

So you have an eclipse MTX? Done anything under the hood or is it strictly bling? Now I drive a lowly Fiero GT, but that thing hauls pretty well, I've eaten several Eclipses for breakfast..even got a Corvette once
