Hey guys,

I just realized i never posted any pics of my car after i got her! Here is 11 pics or so haha. I didnt put the CAI or the dvd/boom boom system in there. It came with it :) I'm lookin for some more things to do to it.

And this is a quick pic of what i want it to look like. I photoshopped black rims and a gas cap to see what it would look like if i spray painted them black. Tell me if you like the look or not.

Pinstripe is very eye catching....loooks nice! Painting the rims and gas cap also would look good as well.

Thanks guys, I've gotten mixed reviews on whether or not to do my rims black. The gas cap seems to have everyone saying go for it. I will wait for a few more opinions before i pull the trigger and do the rims.

I love what you have done with the pinstripe. Even it is a very very small touch up but it really gives your car a different look.

The rim and the gas cover? Great!

Keep it up.

I'd go for painting the rims black with the silver lip, if you don't know tiburons, you wouldn't know their stock wheels. Gold would look good too but I think black would be better and it would really look awesome with that pinstripe and the gas cap.

I'm curious about the missile switch....

I'm new to modding and stuff... It was in the car before i got it. Is it not an Injen CAI? Is it cause i said CIA and not CAI?




I'm curious about the missile switch....
The previous owner had this and pretty much everything else put in the car. Sadly i cant say i had the expierence or taste to put all the stuff in even the pin striping. But the missle switch supposedly was connected to the subs so that he could just turn them off when in a residential area i suppose? The car dealership i bought it from said they disconnected it because it would make the speakers start phasing out or something when they took it over 45mph.. Doesnt make much sense to me but w/e... I think i will hook it up to some LED's in the footwell and the trunk. I'm not sure what color to go with if i do. Since the dash is all in orange i was thinking about maybe going with orange if i can find them in that color. Something different from the blue and red alot of people have? I dunno though...




my tibby came with same steroeo as yours did me love it ^^
Yeah i love mine too! I just with i could take the credit for putting it in haha!

Thanks man, I appreciate it!. I was confused about those two buttons too when i first got it. I guess that the previous owner had a GPS or radar detector or something attached to the dash right there? I'm not 100% sure but they just seem like they were put there to cover some holes but IMO they look terrible. They have rings of super glue around them too from where the previous appliance was there. I was thinking about just pulling them out and put some filler in there and just try to match the texture somehow because it looks pretty silly right now.





looking good...throw in some redouts and a shorty antenna and call it good (not really). imo, I think the wheels look good the way they are.

What performance mods are you planning?
Thanks. I'm looking into the shorty antenna. Does it make the radio reception crappy or is it hardly noticeable? Do you know of any good places to buy them from? I'm not 100% sure what redouts are but it seems most people say they have them Is it just making the rear lights look completely red? I'll try to look up a DIY for it or something.As far as performance mods I'm still new to modding and stuff. I'm kinda of bummed that the CAI was already in there because i wanted to put one in as my first mod just so i can learn from the easy stuff first. I guess i could take it out and put it back in? But for other mods i was thinking about putting exhaust and headers in there but that seems like a pretty big job for a noob. I also don't want to put mods in it that will decrease my miles per gallon. Any suggestions?





u need to clear those rims and make em glossy, flat black is gross. matte black is nice, for example... alpinewhites 5-zigens. but jz plain flat...? idk
I'm still debating wether or not to paint them black. My friends say they think it makes them look smaller which isnt good. I will start saving up some more money for now and look into new rims or painting them a glossy black.


AMEN to #1....White FTW!!! Interesting stripe along the gills and side, also. Definately glossy black on the rims.

What percentage tint on the windows? With the white Tibs, as dark as you can get it.

Nice work.....keep it up!
Thanks I love white on the tibby's too :) brings out its curves a bit better. As far as the tint goes.. Im not sure, another thing the previous owner had done. Its pretty dark though. I'd assume he got them as dark as he could.







Also, I just intalled a TR-7 switch to my Alpine DVD Player to allow it to show DVD videos and let my personalize it (custom backgrounds and stuff). That was a cool/easy mod for me to get used to some of the electronics behind the dash. I will feel a bit more confortable about putting the LED's in later. The problem is that I seem to have lost the cable for the fog lights! i searched for 20 mins for it but i couldn't find it for the life of me. I will have another look tomorrow when i get some free time while the sun is up. Thanks for the kind words I will keep you all updated as to future mods

P.S. I just received my Tuscani badges in the mail from Korea today. Will install them tomorrow and post a few pics.
