Spring(season) Mods?


Oz60R

Recommended Posts

Well with spring around the corner and when I'm home from school its time for some mods! Last year I completed all of my blackout mods I wanted to do. I'd like to do a few more visual things since I am still happy with the performance in my R

So I need to start planning out what I would like to do and would like some suggestions so I can do some research/pricing early.

This is what I am working with right now:

TME lowering springs, dual quad tip exhaust, 18x8 Oz Ultraleggeras, 35% tint all around, CF spoiler, CF engine cover, Blacked out grill/headlight housing, clear corners...

I'm taking into consideration peoples opinions from last year about adding a little contrast to the car. There was a little talk about painting the calipers and I think I am going to commit to it now. What do ya'll thik of doing something like this?:

I think I am going to do some under the hood visuals too with all the plastic parts. I have the CF engine cover, but I would like to do more with everything. Does anyone have suggestions for color schemes? I was thinking something with black/gold?

Any other visual or non HP mods for suggestions are welcomed. Look forward to your input.

Thank you,

Oz

Wow that S60 looks sick

Yeah it do! Gold would look good with the black. Not too many colors, one of the guys called it Skittles look. Keep it simple, you'll be happier. Lowering it will be nice. Did you do any suspension upgrades?

yes, remove the fake cf moose logo. It ruins what would otherwise be a beautiful car. I also like the looks of your brakes now over the gold. Things I would suggest is a darker tint, CF mirror caps, and maybe tinting your mirror turn signals. But PLEASE remove that moose logo. Its the automotive equivalent of this for me:

You need a tide moose remover pen.

Some of those things are in the works.

Car is tinted, I think that's an old pic.

Nick is correct. Those are old pics. I have a different moose for my car, black and gray. I cant go any darker with the tint. Annnd I have had a change of plans as far as visual appearance over HP. The butt dyno got bored after a 400 mile weekend.

Also I am going to be entering in a 1,500 mile 3 day long rally this summer. Will be possibly be competing against Mr. Alex Roy himself. Operation stealth moose will be starting soon.

Will be investing in a new radar detector(V1), digital scanner(Uniden BCD996T) , cb radio (PRO520XL) and navigation unit (One of the Garmin models).

You're into the visual aspect of your car? Take off that front plate.

Also, I'd put that body kit on it (like the car next to yours in the picture). The body kit is the next major mod for me.

Don't do it!! It's so ugly and your car looks great right now!

I cant take the front plate off. In NH you need 2 plates. So no can do.

I don't need a body kit yet. Plus I am looking to do a VST front lip rather than body kit. Then just add skirts and rear bumper.

As stated above, I'm changing the plans and going for HP. It looks mean enough as is and eats little children for breakfast.

I have the bark, just need more bite!
