i know its not a domestic but some might be intersted.
so this around this time last year i got t boned by a c6 vette and well lets say i didnt have my car for awhile. well the damage looks worse than it really was. no frame damage at all passanger side just took a pretty good hit.
took her over to misha's autobody and she got all fixed up. i had them fill in the rear hyundai H emblem on the truck while they were at it.
since the wheels got jacked up i had a set of 18 inch tenzo wheels ordered
well needless to say at that point i just said screw it and started upgrading the car.
first thing i did was got rid of the aftermarket hood i had and the 18inch wheels because i was tired of the "ricer" style look as some of you guys got to see
well i upgraded to the oem 19 inch track/rspec wheels
also threw on the oem r spec suspension
aem cold air intake, 3 inch primary cat delete, 3 inch downpipe w/ secondary cat delete. new mid pipes and a 7ism axleback exhaust.
installed a forge motorsports bov and an front mount intercooler kit to get the tiny factory intercooler out of there.
and i figured since im always driving around i would even do a indash nav setup!
not too many people have seen/heard my car with the new setup but when i stopped by curt's house (sj sleeper) to drop off parts he told me it sounded alot better than what she did awhile ago when i had just axleback on it.
update 12/18/11
i reinstalled my fog lights (had to slightly modify mounting brackets as they hit intercooler pipes)
and also got rid of the center grille so you can really see the intercooler!
