@ blades, yeah that's what I'm hoping to be able to do.


@ Jason, thanks man me too haha. I have had it for a year and I can't count how many compliments I've gotten on the exhaust alone. It sounds so mean!

Do you have spacers on your wheels I looked threw your build and didetn see anything about it but your wheels look so flush with your fenders

Nope, no spacers. They're not flush, I'll have to get a better pic of them from the side of the car so you can see better. I don't really feel like spending money on spacers when I plan on getting wheels with aggressive offsets, maybe +12/+15 or so.

I agree with you It just looked very flush with the fender and I've never seen stock rays look like that but ya just the angle more than likely

That's probably it. I have just the base 18's, you can look in my Random album and see a pic that I posted of my headlights next to the headlights of a MB 370, and you can see the wheels pretty well there.

So I shouldn't be allowed to have my phone when I'm in bed and I can't sleep, because I tend to start browsing things on Amazon. Installing the Swift springs gave me the mod bug all over again after I had worked so hard to settle down and not spend money for the time being. I bought a smoked Evo-R foglight off of a member here, and a 1000w 12" Alpine R DVC 4ohm sub off of Amazon for a pretty good price. I've got a Kicker 400w amp, so I should be able to wire it to run at ~900w at 2ohms. Can't wait to get them in!

My only concern is that the foglight is gonna be kinda dim in the day time, I love super bright lights, and I've seen a few videos of the evo foglight and they weren't really all that bright. Plus my buddy just got one and again, it was alright. I want something that is the same intensity as the brake lights when you hit them. I just saw a pic on Simota's journal of the Tamon foglight, that thing is pure sex. I might have to go check it out if it works with stock bumpers.

It looks like things are coming along nicely. I love the exhaust setup, that's the route I'm leaning towards. Can't wait to see some wheels on your beast. :)

Haha thanks bro, "slow and steady" seems to be my motto when it comes to modding. My wife and I are not poor at all, but we don't have $4000 extra every month to put into our cars, so I do a lot of side jobs to get mod money, anything from home remodeling to headlight restoration to mod installs, you name it and I know at least a little about it. This last month and a half has been decent, I've done 3 sets of headlights, a Stillen intake install on a friend's 370, some repairs on my neighbors house and boat, and a few other things. We'll see what happens with the wheels, I still have a couple options. Hopefully it won't be too long of a wait...

There's nothing wrong with taking your time. That's what I'll have to do.

Have you decided on which wheels?

Yes I have! Say hello to the beautiful Avant Garde M368...

Well, here's my next update. I got a smoked Evo-R fog light from WillClemenson who's a member on the forum, and an Alpine Type R 12" sub off of Amazon.

I like the fog light, but it's pretty dim for my tastes. I'm trying to figure out of there's a way to up the brightness of the LED's without burning them out. Any suggestions?

The sub is amazing. Holy crap is it loud and crisp and clean. Plus it has a better range than my crappy old Xplode sub did.

Here's a few pics of the installs :)
