Latest (Minor) Mods

Hi All,

Here are my latest two mods...
I figure the flames on the mudflaps gotta be worth at least 5 hp

Seriously tho, my old Mazda flaps were badly beaten ant starting to tear...
And I think the license plate frames are a nice improvement over stock....

So the truth comes out... You spend time in the CT ricer section scoping out your next mods... Very nice!

You've got to do the under-bumper front license plate mod. Added 10 HP to my car

Actually Jamie, Sarah bought them for my birthday last year, but I never got aound to installing them... Several more impotant projects got in the way (check my VB Garage)

Unfortunatly I had to ditch the gun rack to make room for a backseat

And my car came with the under the bumper license plate mod

This is so VERY much nicer...

Have you told everyone how you want to paint your car. I'll give everyone a hint think FLAMES.

Maybe you can photoshop a pic.

LOL! I'm just bugging you Spence. I've got flamed floormats in my car, and the Olds has rolling-dice-on-fire stickers. Easily 40-60 hp. Actually, when we rattle-canned the olds, it came very close to getting a flame job.

I moved my plate down so that the bracket wouldn't damage the bumper, since I had the black portion painted over.

I ditched the bracket all together... This is a custom fit plate set-up...

And my floormats are Hotwheels
They have flames too...

Yeah, they only add HP to FWD cars. To gain HP you'd have to put them on the Front Wheels.

See, now I don't consider it rice.
I needed new mudflaps, as the old ones were tearing away from the mounting screws.

They serve a purpose of keeping the ammount of crap thy wheels kick ar the rear fenders down.
They are better made (fibreglass re-enforced) and thicker than stock.

They look pretier than the plain black ones IMHO

I know it's phase 2, no need to get all huffy about it. Besides how will it be ready for Ottawa?

Functional: Yes.
Pretty?!? I would have preferred it if you said cool.. LOL!

In the end the only thing that matters is that "you" like it.
