Default Just a little about my X..

Just thought I'd throw up a few pics, being new here and all.
It's an 02, 3 liter automatic with 69k miles. I bought it with 55k, and have had it about a year and a half. I make it a habit to claybar it once every couple months and get a good honest two coats of wax on it a month, along with a good interior scrub and detail. I absolutely love this car and try to keep it as immaculate as possible.
It's had the transmission rebuilt, new waterpump, battery, and other small things fixed.
As for fun stuff, well, there's not a lot.. haha. I installed the ACM so I could have my ipod in the car, tinted the windows, and replaced the running lights in the high beams with blue/white leds that are a perfect color match to the HIDs, which I just order two days ago.. Hopefully they'll be here for the weekend. Also added the mesh grill that I scored for $80.
I'd really like to add some S-type wheels (see my other thread in this section), and the wood trimmed steering wheel from an 03, but, those will be done time and money permitting.
Enough talk, time for pics! Enjoy..

No probs 310.
A lovely lookin ride there buddy, looks in great shape. The chrome mesh works well with the chrome inserts you have.
Thought about clear side repeaters? Although the Amber picks up the amber running lights I guess.
The pipes are nice n shiny as they should be
What about an AWD badge for the rear, just under the X type badge?

Jim

Thanks for the kind words. I thought about an AWD badge, but kind of like the smooth look without it. Maybe if I found one I'd throw it on there, so who knows.
I agree with you on the amber vs clear.. I actually prefer the amber as it matches the front turn signals in the headlights. I'm trying to contain myself until the HIDs get here.. They should round the car out nicely.

Nice one 310
Maybe post some pics of the Hids and what they look like before n after, cost, ease of fitting etc.
Spartans already donr a great job on that front, but as someone else once said...........Its always nice to see how another member does the same thing.

Exactly.
No worries, expect a photo-intensive and comprehensive write up early next week.

Hi 310jag,
Welcome to the forum.
Your car is looking really good.
Have you considered fitting the mesh bumper grill to match the bonnet grill?
