I know the paint was ridiculously bad. Made me cry for a month or so until I got it painted.
Owner I bought it from sprayed the hood a dark grey because the paint had peeled so bad.






Completely stock engine :D
Bought for 2500 with 142,000 miles. Right now (3/28/11) it just hit 156,000.

Next was the cold air intake, no name.





And I finally got it painted! :D Dont have any right after pics though, just all the ones following.
Followed by painting my steelies :D haha.






Not a big deal, barely even sanded them and used spray paint lol. But they have lasted for almost 2 years now.


And also came my black housing turns.



My teg is slowy turning into the black on gray machine im wanting 8)

Haha yeah man, still goin though lol.


Next I did the horn install. I kinda like the look of a teg with no front bumper :lol:



Turned out good except for the fact that the horn is louder than stock, but high pitched as hell! Pisses me off enough to where sometimes I dont want to honk my horn cause its too sissy, but hey atleast they can here it now. WIll be replaceing that in the future haha.
Did a DIY on it btw -> http://www.clubintegra.com/board/showthread.php?t=48991

Also Added my custom blue inserts, which unfortunately the only pics i have of it are crappy and with my dog :lol: passenger side on didnt turn out to good as you can see but the driver one is almost professional.



Then for the winter I switched it up to an SRI.



Cleaned her up and took some pictures of my progress :D

Its rained a bunch lately and my mom decided to take her truck out for a dip :lol:



Freakin awesome day!

After the rain I decided it was time to paint my enblems!
But like a week later there was a huge fire in the mountains, so I took the oppurtunity to take some pics ;)




THERE.... u can see what i thought my time might be haha, but i was a little bit faster.


Poor guys :(


On a good note, visited with some fellow CI'ers.

BIG TIME GAP.

Haha and now its sometime in january 2011... and it snowed... again. Also put in my amber corner lights though.


I dont have halos, thats a reflection! xD


Finally its time for my exhaust! Been waitin for this aby for a while now. A full cat-back Yonaka Exhaust.
Had to use a hack saw and cut off a bunch of old rusty bolts and nuts but it was worth it :)
Just a comparison





:D I love it and it sounds awesome! A little on the quite side but perfect so I dont get pulled over, and its very deep with no rasp!

I also went ahead and replaced that stupid coolant line that sticks out next to your intake! Looks clean now!

I realized that my stock rear mirror sucked! So i went ahead and bought a wink mirror. I also had just gotten back from a trip to Australia and New Zealand and bought a bunch of sticker from there! So i bombed the mirror with them! I custom made brackets to use my visor holes so i didnt have to drill holes in my roof. I made a DIY of that too! -> http://www.clubintegra.com/board/showthread.php?t=63372






Yeah I love it!

Today I took apart the front to get to paint the heat sheild
before:

After:



I also did my fuel injector tuck!
