Default New member but, I'm old, so what!!!!

Hey guys and gals. What's going on. A new member to this forum and want you guys to give honest opinion on my ride. I had owned my car for about 4 years now. I always thought of keeping it just stock but, recently I decided just some small changes. Guess is a mid life crisis BS. Well, for starters, did a complete ECU upgrade, got some work done on the exhaust system, X-pipes, no catalytic converters and she is now purring like a big ***** cat she is LOL. Just got new Michellin Pilot Sports S4's and new Verde wheels. Let me tell ya, it sure was a pain to get this wheels right but, I sure like them. I am now on the works on getting her all blacked out, getting a new set of lowering springs and maybe some spacers in the back, just my preference for now. What are your thoughts on any further upgrades or any of my upcoming ones. Any suggestions? Now, don't be rude just be cool. Thanks...

Jaime

This is how she looked a while back....

And this one is now.

Welcome.

OLD is just a number.

That looks MEAN, and GOOD, I like it.

However, it is YOUR car, and what you do is yours alone, and opinions matter not in the end.

All of mine had my little touches that suited me.

Well done and good luck.

Hello, Jamie,
I *Like* your new wheels! The car looks a little Snarly with black rims, but what you've done now is Awesome! (Of course, I like Snarl anyway.)

However, Grant is absolutely Right! It's YOUR car and if YOU like it, it does Not matter if anyone else on the Planet likes it.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

Well you asked for an honest opinion. Speaking of being old, I grew up in the era when black trim, black bumpers, black wheels, blackwall tires, and a monochromatic appearance meant you'd bought a base model. Styled wheels and chrome or stainless trim were usually included with the higher trim level packages. Consider before you go all the way that a lady should wear at least a little bit of tasteful jewelry.
