Default **My plans for the X**

Ok, everyone. After looking at a few things, this is what I plan to do to the X. For now.

#1- crome pillars for the doors

#2 - mesh grills

I already have the windows tinted at 20 percent - which looks pretty sweet. (And yes, that percentage is illegal where I live.) I've also bought a Jaguar license plate (crome with the leaping Jap) to put on the front of the car. I hate license plates on the front, but the car came that way.

For now I'm happy with the rims that came with the car and everything else. Any other ideas you guys might have?

*Sarah*

Hey Racer - where did you get your crome pillars from? Were they the self adhesive type?

I think I also want to do something to the stereo system - better speakers, etc.

LOL!

It's a blue color. Not dark blue or light blue and it looks purple sometimes. I think it's a good"girl" color.

Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than soft X-rays. It can be subdivided into near UV (400–200 nm wavelength; abbrev. NUV), far or vacuum UV (200–10 nm; abbrev. FUV or VUV), and extreme or deep UV (1–31 nm; abbrev. EUV or XUV).

In english that means YOU CAN"T SEE IT...so is it invisible??

Who be the smarta$$ now...lol...

Cool. I was just looking at the pillars on ebay today, but I was turned off when it said self adhesive. But if you've had yours on for 2 years and they look good, I might shoot for it! Nice job on the ULTRAVIOLET information!

Hey sweetheart.........using the term loosely ( as per racer..lol)
What about the brakes?
Drilled / grooved discs / rotors and redstuff pads for better stopping power. You looked into Arden upgrades yet?
