Default Just another 99 black ta cleand up abit

This IS my daily driver and im in a small town so ignore the chips/minor scraches

Yeah 4x4... i know im working on it... ( know any great deals on springs let me know )

Also taking donations for a new hood XD ( workin on that atm )

The first 3 pictures are from the "dirt rain" we just had here around the west houston katy area.. i highly doubt there was any water in this "dirt rain" but yeah turn away if you have a weak stomach.













Now for the after... ( Im investing in a porter as soon as i can so yeah.. )



















Im no expert with a camera eather so sorry about the backgrounds, its my backyard lol.

Comments welcome...

Great job, need to wax it once in a while and take care of the paint, hope you washed her the right way because dirt can cause scratches and stuff, not good at all especially on black cars.

Thanks again guys for the comments, yeah i washed it asap i washed most off with hose first then microfiber mit'd the rest i try to keep it waxed, i used the gold class. Really makes it shine. As for the "dirt rain" i have never seen it in my life. Every car in town where i live that was outside looked like that.

Well, long story short. I went to a "custom exhaust shop" becase it was recommended by a fiew people, i asked for True dual 3" over the axle w/ x-pipe and he ran it 2 1/2 under axle /w xpipe and i was pissed off so i cut it off took it back and now its just Y off mainflds into 3" w/ cutout and no muffler/tips yet im trying to decide what a good "quiet" sound would be... any ideas on mufflers let me know i have a cutout if i want to be loud.
