Just wondering if any of you guys or gals are into customizing cars at all? It's been a passion of mine since birth. /emoticons/biggrin.gif

Here's my latest, a 2001 ZX3. I designed, painted, and pinstriped the car myself...my first paintjob ever after a 14 week class.

It's got lowered suspension, 17' wheels on 205/40 tires, carbon fiber hood, front spoiler...much more.

here's a close-up of the paint – notice the blue metalflake in the black...

and the carbon fiber hood...

I had a custom 94' civic hatch, red. I payed 12K for the car, it was stolen and my insurance only gave me 4k I didn't even own the car for 2 years.

It had, amongst a ton of other things.
B16 engine, ported and polished
skunk works suspension
intake
4-2-1 headers
custom hidden exhaust
integra rims
some GSR or something puter programming
8' thick motor mounts
cross rotored brakes
Nitto lo pros

My fastest time I believe in a quarter mile was 13.5 seconds. With regular tires

i loved that car, i could drop it into 3rd gear doing 80 and get to 100 in a second and a half.

I hate Fords and Focuses, but that is definitely the best one I've seen.

I'm slowly customizing my car as I get money. It has American Racing rims, which I need to shine up. I put in seat covers and steering wheel cover. A new sound system and a cone air filter will be next.

D-Frag...sorry to hear about your civic. Sounds like it was very nice.

DFuture...you're from St. Louis too huh?...cool.

Hate huh...sorry to hear that. lol...I understand and I won't hold it against ya.

Personally, I don't hate any car...I think every car has potential...if given the proper treatment. I could make a Yugo hella-cool with a little time and money. /emoticons/biggrin.gif

coconut...your son wants more...well here you go...

I've been working on this for some time now and just recently finished it up. It's a collage of a few of my previous custom cars and trucks I've done over the years...

Nice nice NICE work, YNOT! As coconut said, you really do show professionalism. I miss getting Sign Business magazine, used to be one of my favs...

I'm ALL ABOUT the Focus! Why? www.fordrallyesport.com/index2.asp (http://www.fordrallyesport.com/index2.asp) The Euro models of the rally works cars are absolutely sweet looking (check out the Image Gallery on that site to get a feel for pro rallying if you've never watched it before, and check out the next WRC Rally Championship race on SPEED TV (in the US) next weekend, October 17th at 9:00PM EST and 1AM EST on the 18th)! Too bad Ford's pulling out of running a full rally schedule next year (but they pulled out of F1 next year, too).

I'm a computer systems consultant and technician, but my business is localized to West Michigan.
