First Time look at my Candycane Cavy
Monday, October 16, 2006 9:01 PM
Well first before the comments start coming in i want you to know that my car is in very much need of work. i know that and i am saving up my money until i have enough for the big mods i want to do which includes...
1. body kit (blitz front for sure) still deciding on my side skirts and rear
2. midnight blue paint job
3. projector/halo headlights with black housing
4. black housing tail lights
5. little bit of interior work done
6. black rims (don't know which ones yet)
Those are the major things that i think will turn my car around some of the things i have done or have for my car are as such
1. my rims (taken off for the winter)
2. exhaust
3. sound system (2 10 inch lightning audio subs i 450 watt amp)
All comments are welcome

eh... we all have to start somewhere. but I would trash the chrome trim. and get rid of all the white. by exhaust, do u mean full exhaust incuding header, cat, catback, muffler> if its just a muffler, definitely look into getting a full exhaust.

im pretty sure its all of that because the guy i bought it from said he just redid the hole exhaust. but the guy i bought it from was a totall retard. The elecrical system is all sorts of messed up. nothing works right when it comes to that. my speedomitor lights dont light up at night but the blinkers work and so do the worning lights anyone know what could be wrong with that? i bought it for only 3000 and it had 36000 miles on it.

um please tell me your kidding about the macco thing but yeah lets see, first things first, remove fender trim, mud flaps, and spoiler. Paint i would keep it that color but with out the white and add a import fighter kit, black 18's with a polished lip, eibach sportlines with kyb agx's, 95-99 toyo tails, the projectors like you said, maybe up grade the system, last a carbon fiber hood keep it that color or if not closer to a candy red that would look pimp.

But to clear up the macco if you werent kidding its a quick/cheap place to get a paint job.

Quote for thruth. They may not paint show cars, but if you want a cheap, decent coat of paint it's the place to go.

not always true, if you pay them good they will do a hell of a job, this is where *you get what you pay for* slang comes in.
they have 1 of the best paint booths around. Yes you can get a cheap ass paint job that will last a month or get a really well paint job with life warrenty on it.

prime example (it was pricey but macco did a hell of a job)

give the white a quick spray bomb of red before you get the thing professionally painted.
