Default Post your Before and After Pics

I know there was a thread like this with pics of your car as you received it and the state it is in now. I searched but couldn't find it. I finally made a pic to add to the thread, but since I can't find it, so I'll start another.

So post away again!!







Thanks,
Brian

Can you believe someone would ditch the stock 5 spokes for those? I thought blind people weren't allowed to drive.
Those were THE first things to go, before I did anything. I think I got $650 for wheels/tires on eBay. By the way, I do believe he missed a stop sign.

here is an after pic (more on my cardomain page). Don't have any of when I got it but it came into by driveway on a flatbed, was dirty from sitting outside for a couple months, top was in bad shape but not leaking, dark grey cloth interior with filthy grey carpet. Car was all stock except it seemed it had an aftermarked ram air hood similar to what is left but it was only the inner layer and the front was smashed, radiator wrapped around the water pump winshield busted from the airbags, no stripes, you get the idea.

I like the manacing look of the all black rims. I would do the headlight mod and tint your clear corners. I can't tell if you have window tint, but if you don't that would add to the look.
