Title: FQoD:What did you do to your car/truck to make it yours? Post by: bsfins on June 21, 2013, 10:36:49 am Since it seemed like we liked talking about cars,I thought I'd expand the conversation a bit...(Thinking about what Brian,Spider and T-God talked about in the last thread)
Did you do anything to your Car/Truck to make it yours? Buy new wheels,add stuff to it,name anything you've done to your car/truck? (that's not like necessary repair things) They can be cosmetic,performance,hell could just be upgraded stereo and speakers... Is your car completely stock? My take.. -Dolphins sticker <<-A must have... -Trifold soft tonneau cover -K&N cold air intake - This really improved the acceleration of my truck.. -New Folding jump seat console- I bought my truck used,and the lid was broken off the the console.I thought it was odd,when I made an offer,the dealer said...I'll take it,if you take it ass is,broken console,needing tires.My model truck had the console that you can't just replace the lid (where they are notorious for cheap plastic hinges that break.),you have to replace the whole jump seat console...November 2011,I upgraded the console jump seat to a 2010,extended cab model...yeah I have no use for the cupholders out the back,but I love it... -Wheel skin steering wheel wrap- this is a plus and a negative...My sterring wheel had suffs,and dry rotting plastic feel...A couple of years later the wheelskin still feels good,but looks bad as the color fading and chipping... - stereo and 1 set of speakers Title: Re: FQoD:What did you do to your car/truck to make it yours?

Title: Re: FQoD:What did you do to your car/truck to make it yours? Post by: Brian Fein on June 21, 2013, 11:12:21 am I put way more work into my old car than my current car. New intake, exhaust, new front end, spoiler, rims, lots of interior and electronics work.
Now, I basically changed the rims and installed sirius radio and the rest is stock. I have probably opened the hood 5 times since I bought it. I just don't have time anymore. I have my eye on a cold air intake kit but I really don't know how much that actually does for you. There's a turbo kit for my car too but it costs thousands. I'm going to end up changing the headlights soon because they are starting to haze. I can't understand why car makers can't find a plastic that doesn't haze in the sun.

Post by: BigDaddyFin on June 23, 2013, 07:33:43 pm They've all been striped or decaled to one degree or another. The Oldsmobile I put Mobil 1 racing decals on the rear deck lid.
The Maroon 99 S-10 had my high school helmet decals stuck to the rear window which we all did. The Blue 01 S-10 had some random racing stickers on it that I slapped on there for no reason at all other than it looked cool Bessay I we didn't do much on the outside with. Just some basic minor engine mods (cold air intake, high end plugs and battery) Bessay II will get her striping, Mepps decals, extra badges and the other stickers when I wash and wax her again.

People think I'm an old man, but damn if that shit doesn't still look new underneath.

And I only had my first one for a very short time.

Post by: AZ Fins Fan 55 on June 24, 2013, 03:51:24 pm On my truck I put a billet grille, 20" wheels, 2" leveling lift, HID headlights and fog lights, LED lights in the interior, a Dolphins trailer Hitch cover and a Dolphins window decal. I have been considering the cold air intake system to boost my HP but I am also toying with getting the new 2014 when they release the 450 HP 6.2 engine in January.
