    I'm a restomod kinda guy, I want the looks and size of an old car but sometimes you've gotta take a call or make a call while driving, simple push of the button and that's it. Also with music, Bluetooth in the old car. Imagine being out for a drive and you strike up a conversation with someone in the car and they say "that song would be perfect right now", BAM!, say play "Freeway Jam Live" from Jeff Beck w/ the Ian Hammer Group...just sayin'..

    The "experience" end when your up in the mountains and that carb can't adjust to altitude, this would be another reason for modernThe Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits ThreadThe Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

    EFI definitely being added just where does it fit in the order. Also Bluetooth capabilities and a sound system.

    She’ll have all the convenience of a modern car just none of the safety. Which is fine because if I worried about safety then I would miss out on a lot of fun things in life.

    The name of the shop is Xtreme Graphics in Lombard Illinois and these drift cars are also...XTREME! The green S14 with the Voss kit made 750 whp!

    I'm having some subtle "tweaks" done to the EN, nothing too crazy but rather things that should look OEM to those who don't know which is what I like, always have liked it like thatThe Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

    So the "tweaks" are done to the EN and I couldn't be happier!

    I had the front and rear H badges accented w/ satin black vinyl, so now they stand out. I did this to the ES but only the rear as the front had a "floating" design. Some have asked/suggested doing the badges black, as well as the letters and I thought about this as looks good but then leaves no chrome and the N badge has chrome w/ black and red behind it, doing the H badges this way ties in better IMO. They do have black N badges but then the black strip there gets washed away, leaving only the red strip to stand out.

    The next mod was to have LaminX laid over the front and rear turn signals, as well as the ones in the side mirrors. This right here REALLY made me happyThe Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread️Yeah it's a small mod but looks like it should've come that way, as look I like personally. I did a similar type thing on my 3 season rims on the ES by using the H centercap emblem. Alot of people would say "those stock rims look great", then I'd tell them they're actually Konig rims and they always would say "that's pretty cool" This amber turn signal lense gives the EN a "Euro look", well, that is if they offered my car in Europe, LOLThe Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

    Before I had this done I made my window tint appointment for May 18th. I'm going to Chicago Auto Pros and getting the same tint and percentage that I had on the ES. The price went up $70 for the entire job but it is what it isThe Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

    The work I had done at the vinyl shop didn't cost me a dime either as the owner wants me to clean his Camaro ZL1 in a couple weeks. He asked me if that was cool and I said OFCOARSE The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits ThreadThe Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

    Thanks for making it through this long winded explanation as to how I look at thingsThe Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

    So while going home from g/f's tonight, going through The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread, ofcoarse, I tried to get your gen F-body to "play with me" but before he said "WTH" we came up on traffic. I don't think alot of people know about my car...yet. Not sure if he was stock and would've just liked to have known "where I stand" for a quick burst...in Mexico, ofcoarse The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread
