Default few quicky shots of the beater






needs a little cleaning up (im very picky) blackis not a good color for me to own. im still not done yet, need to do the brakes, new tint, front springs, and maybe some 11's for the 315's but i thought it looked good this am so i snapped a couple pics. im thinking of maybe doing the dragonz28 emblems too but everytime i look at the stockers i like them. i also seem to be getting some very light yellowish spots on my headlights when its dirty so im going to redo them too. what do u guys think?

Looks good! I feel your pain with having a black daily driver, if you hate dirt dont get black wheels with a polished lip like i did, or you'll spend more time cleaning them insided and out then the accual outside of your car!

No you don't. Black is so hard to clean that I'm kinda regretting getting black. It does look very nice when cleaned up though until you have somebody buff your car and put buffer marks all over it like happened to me this week!

Very clean car... I love black, I wouldn't have anything else. It may be higher maintenance but it is well worth it in the end
