Firestorm Show Car Build
So far ive had my car for about a week and a half and I have been working hard on it. I started out with the simple blacked out plasti dip emblems but since then I've added a few things. I have big plans for this car in the future as a show car and I'll be sure to keep you guys updated
Current Mod List: blacked out emblems vinyl roof Visual garage shark fin red tail light vinyl overlay blacked out headlight housing (took forever but def. worth it) LED domelight LED liscense plate light red out reverse light area 35% front tint 20% back debadged the "fr-s" Redded out orange side markers Injen Intake KW V3 Agency Power Exhaust ( on the way) UPCOMING PARTS: Gram Light 57DR 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 Greddy/Rocket Bunny widebody kit ARK DT-S Catback Berk Tech. Testpipe (catless) more to come here are a few pictures of my progress, ill try and take a few more of some other small stuff IMG_0767 by deedzman194, on Flickr IMG_0772 by deedzman194, on Flickr IMG_0774 by deedzman194, on Flickr IMG_0773 by deedzman194, on Flickr IMG_0784 by deedzman194, on Flickr IMG_0783 by deedzman194, on Flickr IMG_0792 by deedzman194, on Flickr IMG_0794 by deedzman194, on Flickr IMG_0795 by deedzman194, on Flickr UPDATE 8/14/2012 Reached 1000 miles and changed the oil, car feels better personally Added a few new things as well such as 6000k HID's and Super White front LED turn signals...love them! IMG_0804 by deedzman194, on Flickr IMG_0805 by deedzman194, on Flickr UPDATE 9/12/2012 Been a bit busy with things but alot has happened! Taking this car to a new level and making a show car out of it! Added an Injen Intake and man that sounds amazing, and also got me a set of KW v3's! IMG_0876 by deedzman194, on Flickr IMG_0875 by deedzman194, on Flickr also darkened the red on my tailights...what do you guys think? Old red or new red? IMG_0862 by deedzman194, on Flickr UPDATE 10/2/2012 I recently got my car Opti-Coated by Mike and man does it make the car look shiny makes cleaning the car a breeze and looks 10x better thanks mike! Heres a pic of the car after opti coat... should have taken a picture right after i got it done ( this is a week after not washing and the sides still look nice and shiny I just washed the car and looks like new!) IMG_0905 by deedzman194, on Flickr Installed KW V3 coilover system so far im loving the kw's, handling feels much much better...feels like im more in control even though I can still feel the tail wanting to slide out a little, much easier to correct. Car definitely feels planted and gives me more confidence in cornering. I feel like there is so much more to these struts but all I need are some stickier tires! Can't wait to try these babies at the track! Ride comfort somewhat similar to stock, still need to mess around with settings but to be honest, it is only a BIT more rough but no where near unbearable or much noticeably uncomfortable ( you could always adjust it anyways) . I'd highly recommend these for those who want DD comfort with performance. ONTO THE PICS! IMG_0901 by deedzman194, on Flickr IMG_0907 by deedzman194, on Flickr IMG_0909 by deedzman194, on Flickr IMG_0908 by deedzman194, on Flickr IMG_0905 by deedzman194, on Flickr **UPDATE 10/31 So my car currently just hit 4k miles :/ Got my roof wrapped by precision dynamix and i love it! Also just installed a agency power catback and it sounds extremely aggressive. Will post pics up the catback sometime this week but here are some pics of the roof UPDATE 11/18/2012** Decided I will be running the rocket bunny kit in the next few months so stay tuned! Going to be a big project for this upcoming show season with lots of pictures and parts to come! Some other things Im going to be running a berk technology test pipe as well as the ARK DT-S catback for my project and I want want to see how it sounds/looks/feels!

Looks great. Where did you get the vinyl for the tail lights? Thinking about doing that and really tempted to do the black headlight mod.

Love it. Black roof looks awesome. Cars like yours always make me think twice about my choice for white.

Nice, planning to do the black roof as well Is your roof vinyl matte, or glossy? Looks glossy but just wanted to make sure.
