Cool 5.5 after bath! Love it when she's clean!!

Had to take her out today because she has been sitting for a couple weeks, only been started ... Thought it be a good excuse to take a new video of the inside so you can hear the exhaust from my point of view. Then she needed a bath, so here is the aftermath of the bath!









Comments good or bad are welcome....soon to be getting new rims, new springs, and halos!

That link is from inside the car 15-80

The link on my signature is from the rear!

Looks and sounds good. Needs a drop IMO. What did you do to the exhaust?

always love a clean max...looks alot like mine. I like the eyelids too-was originally thinking of painting to match but i might leave 'em be.

Also, we're doing(trying) a group buy on the umnitza orion V2 LED angel eyes. check it out.

Hm clean except for those Injen stickers on the front bumper. And I think you should get your eyelids painted to match the car. Exhaust sounds good.

Updated...removed stickers..and lowered the front...I got my rims but I've decided to powder coat them gunmetal along with the billet grill I have. Waiting a couple weeks... Here is before and after the drop..Sorry for the ****ty quality night pics =(

Note - Springs haven't settled all the way either! top and 3rd one are best for comparison.

Before:







After:

Looks good, but I'll venture to say that your springs aren't going to settle significantly lower than they already are. If they do, something is wrong with them.
