Some pics of my V since i had it murdered out!!! Well guys, i told a couple people id post pics so here they are. Car is completely murdered now other than the caddy emblems. The wheels are just powdercoated stockers with a semi-gloss finish which i LOVE! I had full gloss before but these look MUCH better. All the lights and grilles were tinted/painted at a local shop here. This thing gets tons of attention now! I've had people take pics of it while driving, multiple thumbs up, ask questions about it at the gas stations, etc. I def love the look now and apparently so does everyone else! lol
Pics aren't great but u get the idea. I took these with my iphone the other day. Ill get some better ones with a real camera soon.
I've been considering selling it but haven't decided yet if i want to. It has 111k miles on it now and still runs/drives great! Its my daily and i make a fairly good commute to school and back through the week. I love it but i'm getting the itch for something new again...

Some pics from the past since i've owned it...
The car has been through a few different sets of stock wheels and a few different sets of fogs as you can see but i think i'm finally satisfied with it the way it sits now.

Luckily, i've been able to either talk my way out of the ticket or somehow get the court to dismiss them for me but i'm sure that luck will eventually run out.

Car looks great (and familiar, lol)!
The only thing I don't like is the placement of the V symbol, IMO it looks odd in that location, but as long as you like it, that is what counts.
Good job on the overall appearance!

Yeah, the symbols were there when I bought it. I intend to take them off completely but I haven't done it yet. The previous owner had the tails and fogs done and the shop thought he wanted the emblems done too. When he showed up to pick the car up, he said they had painted the emblems black so he explained that's not what he wanted and had the shop order him a new set. When he took it back for them to reinstall the new emblems, that's where they put them.
Thanks for the compliments though guys! And the springs are cut stockers. 1 coil in the front and 1 1/4 in the rear.

KUDOS......Man everytime I see a murked out black V it makes me wish I had waited and got a black one. I went with silver but did get the black interior. I've seen a few with tan and I'm glad I got lucky with the black. It does give me inspiration on yours looking this good over 100k. Keep it up.

Thanks for all the compliments guys! If I keep it, more mods to come for sure!! I just don't have the money to spend on it right now. Only a semester left of school and I'll be out and making the cheddar to buy all the cool stuff I want! Lol
Bama... It's got it's share of imperfections but nothing too major. Mostly just the inevitable rock chips on the front and some other small scratches and stuff but nothing I wouldn't expect for the mileage and for being black. I wish I would have got the black interior! I got a deal on the car so I couldn't really complain but man... The tan has to be the worst for showing wear. I hated it when I got it and intended to spend the $800 to do the interior swap buying all the black stuff off eBay but never did. The tan slowly grew on me and now I don't mind it as much but black would def be superior in my book!

Took the side V emblems off today. I like it much better with just the one on the trunk. Should have done it long ago!
P.S. The painted grilles look good but they're a pain in the ***. Noticed my bottom grille already has a few good chips in it. I'll have to pick up a small bottle of black touchup paint so I can keep up with it.
