New Member From Michigan
Pretty new to the site, been coming here for awhile just to read up on some info but now I decided to start the process of modding my car both cosmetically and performance wise. Im 17 work for Adlers towing and have pretty much have a connection to anyone for anything automotive related. I make good money and just think its time to spoil my car a little.
The Car:
Its a 2001 4 door sedan with the 3.4V6, roughly 135k miles. So far Ive done nothing to it, but Im ready to start tossing a little money its way. The motor is prolly the cleanest I've ever seen, looks like it was just rolled off the line in 2001. The motor has no knocks, leaks, or other gremlins so i decided itll be worth keepin around for awhile.
Good deal, $800 from my uncle, long story but i saved it from a scrap yard. The left fender was destroyed and the front bumper was beyond savable. I did all my own body work and still have a little left. New fender and bumper, painted and hung them myself.
Mod wise as of now...nothing. Unless you count some red neons in the foot wells on both passanger and driver side.

good, it was a deer attack lol. Nailed the left front fender and tore off the bumper...and a clump of hair left in the windshield wipers. This was taken from the angle so you cant see my at the time, my black primer fender. But besides that the car is pretty solid. You can see the gas door having some peeling problems.
