I put on some extra wheels for the winter, waiting for summer to put some shiny wheels back on.. Summer is a long ways away though.

I had a gold '98 way back in the day. Put 145K care free miles on it. All it needed was an alternator. I doubt our new one could do that....

VERY nice engine! you really kept it really clean! i am impressed! nice car btw!

 

[Bargan Master]

Engine is way cleaner than mine lol.Looks good.

 

[Oakley792]

I am trying to keep everything clean but we just got a crap load of snow, so mud/ dirt/ water so it is starting to look a bit dirty. I HATE SNOW!

I have to get a alignment this week and here are a few more things I am thinking about doing.

Replacing Front Rotors this week.
Replacing Brake Pads this week.
35% Window Tint?
New Rims when the better weather rolls around.
- Blacked out rims?
- All Chrome?
- Chrome & Black?
Maybe American Racing Phantom?

rims.... I would say do something like mine... Most black with little bit chrome... but yeah i always wanted to have blacked out rims but i would say little bit chrome... since your car is gold you need little bit of chrome... little bit of chrome won't hurt...

35% tints are awesome! i have them on my car all around and it is great my fiancee wished she kept it on her altima... she removed it long time ago because she thought it was too dark and then now she wished she have it because of sun... it protects you from sunburn!! she actually got little sunburn from not having 35% tint on her car!!

Good luck with your alignment and brakes!! i am putting eibach springs on my car!

I know how you feel with snow... sometimes it's a pain in @$$... but yeah... gotta love snow sometime for fun...

What does everyone think about getting a lowering kit for the car and dark window tint?
I wish there was a way to see what it would look like lowered to like 1.3.

Which is the only lowering kit I can find.

I'd like to eventually lower mine as well, but everytime I think about it I keep having nightmares about the speed bumps at work. I need to go to an oil-bag or air-bag suspension if I do it. So I just keep saving up. But I may just bite the bullet and kick the factory springs to the curb in favor of some Eibachs.

And I'm DEFinitely in favor of tint! Got it for the first time on my '09, then felt like I was swimming in a fishbowl when I got my '11 (which I intend to keep).

Check with elcomalalo. I don't want to volunteer his services, but he's real good with PhotoShop. I think lowering your car has got to be easier than "painting" it in PS.

Tinted windows tomorrow at 9AM....

Can't wait to see it!! post it as soon as you get it done!!!

What % are you getting?

 

[Oakley792]

Well I was looking at 20% or 25%, but I am going to go with the legal limit here which is 35%. ( Wichita, Kansas )
I would take the chance with a 20% but I get pulled over quite a bit and I know they would check my tint while there at it. Trust me 35% is saving me some cash.

I don't think it will look bad though.

 

[DrivenDaily]

Why do you get pulled over - speeding, or do you have a decal on your back window that inflames them?

 

[Oakley792]

Speeding/ Road Rage.

 

[Oakley792]

I Changed the oil and oil filter today and had the windows tinted.

I dislike the wheels a lot, thinking after the winter here I am going to get some all black wheels instead.

Man that engine bay is clean! How many miles you have on it?

Here is a throwback, my old '98 Malibu. Used it as my "station car" when I lived in NY and worked in NYC and left it at the train station LOL. These pics were taken the day I sold it after I moved to FL in the new owners driveway about 5 years ago. Had 14X,XXX trouble free miles and last I heard was still running okay. And it never needed the intake gasket, go figure....

I hope he doesn't mind me posting pics of it in his driveway haha.
