Default Thought its time to make myself known

Well as I know, everyone wants to see pics here so I wont keep you all waiting. Feel free to shoot me suggestions for mods and stuff tho, and I hope to start goin to these meets around here one of these days...









Thanks,
Derek

Don't take this the wrong way, but your sig pic has always irked me. I know NBM is a beautiful color, but your sig pic makes it look purple for some reason.

Looks blue to me, but NBM does look purple-ish in certain light.

NBM=

Thumbs up

Nice NBM car. Looks clean. Clean enough to bring it back to stock and keep it that way if you can afford to buy an additional TA to mod. If not, then, have at it!

hahaha yea I know it does, I was just waiting for someone to make that suggestion. Well might as well ask, how should I go about dropping it? I was thinkin pro-kit springs since I see them up for sale all the time, but like to hear other alternative ways...

For now since money is tight, my goals are simple...

1.) Suspension- I enjoy autoxing so would like to get it to corner as tight as it can...
2.) Full Exhaust- headers w/ true duals (havent decided what muffler tho, thoughts?)
3.) Aesthetics - dual stripes from the nostrils to the wing and paint the rear section over the plate the same color as the stripes. Haven’t decided on a color though yet...was leaning towards black, but also thought about gunmetal or silver. Also want to black out the tail lights.

That’s pretty much all I’m shooting for at this point, nothing to serious.

Very clean car I work in Altamonte at SCC so you may see if my SS some days when I drive it to work. My car is getting lowered by the end of the year and im going with Strano Springs and Koni shocks they say its one of the better setups but Strano and bilstien shocks dont seem to be to bad for most either and thats a cheaper route.

Pro-kit is not bad at all. I have it and I like it. Looks very nice though! I'm not a fan of those wheels but that is just my opinion.
