How about we post pictures how our cars looked when we got them, then after we did our mods.

[Thor06]

Do it up son. Mines not too different otherwise I would... remember I am going for the "stock" look, everything looks the same minus the rims and 4" exhaust tip.

Actually the DOHC head swap will happen.... But it will be on my spare 92 6 Bolt 4g64 2.4L block. Forged internals, slight bore, DOHC head...the works...its all planed out. And if I have my car as long as I plan on having it....forever....then I promise an AWD conversion will happen. You read my mind thor06

Oh my god!...I love photo ops! Even though everyone here has seen the pics of my car a million times....your gonna see them again.

Geeeeez that is one expensive exhaust... I might have like 300 bucks in mine when its all said and done and it'll be one of the most free flowing ones ever... Which one did you buy? I think I am in the wrong market of work. lol

[TalonEclipseMixGsx]

Mostly the same. Outside differences are the rims and FMIC. When I got it the intake wasn't even on it, I guess this was the first pic I took of the engine bay.
