Student budget build :by madface24

[madface24]

So being a full time student, its about impossible doing things to the car mechanically and visual. so just an idea to make the car look and sound good
on a really tight budget. Everything was done with a $20 allowance per month.

So first was the straight pipe didnt take out the cats. it just removed the heavy tank, and makes the car have a deep hum. was done for $100

next came in on the plastidip crazy.
ended up doing black base with gold metalizer.

Painted the inner part as well to fully complete the rim rather than just the face of it

then the face of it

blacked out the front to make it look cool

for funz bought sickspeed lug-nuts for $50.

stickers cuz it makes car go faster. $20

front window tint $20

side visor for $60

DDM air intake K&N airfilter $207

gold/bronze engine paint $8

also added orange/gold LED under the hood $15

ordered a few small things.

my feet are a bit big for the stock pedals so went ahead and bought Razo forumula spec covers. $50
simple front red turbo badge $7
back neo chrome turbo badge to match the lugnuts $7
painted front breaks red (because it makes my car go faster) $free.99
and shorty antenna off amazon for $10
dipped that (sonic lt) bronze to go with rims, and stickers.

thanks for reading :banana::banana::banana:

Looking good keep it up! I would keep my eyes glued to the classified section as DDMw intakes go up every so often for around $160 (how i got mine)

I love the idea of a budget build. I am looking forward to where you go from here.

 

[madface24]

Defiantly saving for that air intake. $160 sounds amazing !

Welcome brother, keep it up, ill be watching for what's next!!

I like the color scheme you have going on here! Great start to your budget build.

Good job on the wheels, very rare to see someone take the time to do inside and out! Just a word on the lug nuts, keep an eye on the TQ, those sickspeed like most of those tuner style lugs tend to become loose after x amount of km.

 

[madface24]

oh thanks didnt know. ill keep an eye on them now

 

[Black Turbo LTZ]

oh thanks didnt know. ill keep an eye on them now

And always do those style nuts by hand, never an impact(they can strip very easily, I've had to save some friends by busting off stripped ones with my air hammer)

 

[madface24]

okay phew glad i did that the first time. i saw how light they were, so i thought they would be a bit more fragile.

Lookin good. Can't wait to see what's next

 

[madface24]
