>The Celi CAN do alright in the snow. It has that potential. However, last winter, I had summer tires on the car, and since the car's a GT 5-speed, all it wanted to do was spin. No matter how lightly I took off. It was an experience. However, I'll be investing in some decent tires for winter before too long. I'll get back to you after the first snow... if it ever gets here. 60* in November? You fail, weather.

Kloudkicka, I don't blame you for not getting that thing out in the snow. You've put a lot of work into it. I wouldn't risk it either!

>Soheres the rundown, my car was parked on a busy street during long weekend, and when i came back to my car, i found that someone decided to key the entire car, damn haters, so of course i claimed in with the autopac and yup i got enough money to have it repaired plus extras, so i decided on something new

heres wat my car looked like from beginning to now, decided to just put it all up in one thread again to show how many times its been transformed

stock


with rims and clear indicators


blitz front with invader skirts and rear

carbon fibre hood added and rims painted gold


c-one kit with gt-four hood & projectors


gt-four exterior, painted black


will have more updates of my car as the progression goes on, lemme know wat you think of all these looks, im pretty sure the last one is the nicest =)









what are your first rims called they look nice and you still got them ?
it was an 18 inch core racing room, thats all the details i know about it except i bought them from kal-tire and ya i sold them a long time ago for dirt cheap
haven't added to this in awhile so i thought i'd add a quick update, some things that happened to my car were, it was in a hit n run while it was parked awhile back so this was the result of that



after a couple weeks being in the shop, a new door was put it and the rear was repaired



i dont have a picture of the door when it first got painted, but lets just say it did not match, meaning, the first guy who painted my car satin pearl white, he did not do it correctly, so what did i do? yuppp full paint job, couple weeks later aaaand



paint was perfect, very happy with the turn out, but only thing i noticed was there was a knocking in the back as i drove, i went to check and i was actually able to lift one side of the spoiler off the block, the body shop did not install the raiser blocks correctly, and thats why my car sits the way it does now............ spoilerless



other things in the works for summer, just need to take some pics
mods, could you move this to the "my project" section, thanks, didnt wanna start a new thread so i just continued my old one
the spoilerless look is better than a gt4/ss3 riser blocks. the oem spoiler sits way to high.

Raising Blocks too OG to take off. It's what makes a GT-four look like a GT-four
