My 2G GSX

DSM_Aruba · Nov 14, 2006

Here are a few before and after pics of my car I wanted to share with you guys. Sorry for the too big pics size, hope it's not a problem

Before pics, I bought it like this with the F&F wannabe look, didn't like the look too much but it was the only 2G AWD available back then

After pics. Got the color and cleaner look that I always wanted

Tnx guys.

The rims are XHP Alloy rims. Got them on Ebay. 18x8 (-35mm offset)

I dont like the front bumper...only because the FMIC doesnt fill it up all the way.

And the Wing doesnt do much for me either.

But you def brought it a long way from the before Picture.

Can't do much about the bumper unless you want to send a bigger me intercooler

The Wing does it for, I don't like tall wings. This one is a little stock looking and much lighter than the one I had before.

I think it looks awsome from what it did look like. I love the color and the size or the rims. I want some rims with a lip like that on them. I would diff go with a bigger FMIC. but looks great

looks hot. I'd just slam that bitch, next. way better than that paul walker style.

Damn..this may be one of my favorite dsm's I have ever seen. I love the rims. I have the same headlights, and the wing is bangin. Engine looks great. What FMIC are you running?

I'm scared of the chinese with the crotch rockets, they'll blow bullet holes through the car. :chair::tat:

Those are some of the first decent pictures I've seen of that wing on a 2g. Definitely something different, and a lot better than it was before.

Go wingless and Get a Stock Bumper...Then You wouldnt be able to see the endtanks on your FMIC.

DSM_Aruba · Nov 14, 2006

The wing stays. Stock bumper , maybe but the 97-99
