  • Something a little different...

    So a few of you guys might have seen a post of mine a while back about wheel fitment. I decided over this past winter to take my show car, and switch it up, do something that will def'n end up becoming a love it **** thing.

    anyways ill start off with a couple old pics of the car, Mind you EVERYTHING on this car was done by myself, all the body work, paint everything. The kit is all made by me. They make next to nothing for this car, so its a huge pita to make it unique, from the few other modded stratus' out there.

    well here it is, please, honest opinions, i can take the ****, if you guys **** it. lol

    back in the day, stock in 2004


    2005


    2006

    2008


    and this is the car at the end of the show season, alll stickered up and riced out Lol




    Ive always followed hellaflush, and stanceworks blogs, but obviously my car wasnt even close to what you guys do. So this year i decided to change it up... and here it is soo far, still have a long way to go













    the flares are for a 350z, and ive had to serious work to get them to "fit" the car. Since noone makes a real coilover kit for the car, I was forced to modify an Eclipse coilover sleeve kit to make it work on my car. Needless to say that wasnt up to par. One of the guys from my fourms, and myself worked with NEX coilovers, and got them to build me a one off set of coilovers. Technically I have the prototype set, but the shortened the shock body 2 inchs for me, so i can get it a good 5 inches of slam out of them. There going on the car on Monday. Right now im trying to find a set of nice simple low offset wheels. I was going with the X6 reps before, but since changed my mind. I might end up using a set of SRT8 Challenger wheels, since they come 20x9.5 and are +15 offset, but im still debating.

    Let me know what you guys think

    I like to keep an open mind, and this definitely is up there on the "interesting-o-meter."

    Props for what you've done thus far. Never seen one of these done up before.

                      It's easier to mold the spoiler out of foam, foil, and fiberglass. You need to make the shape with polyurethane foam, shape it, cover it in foil so that the resin doesn't eat up the foam, and fiberglass it. You can just go back and block sand it for a smooth finish. You can also make a wooden skeleton to shape the spoiler.

                      ohh, and paint it a single color this time. It looks like you can make something nice out of it but that body work is not working out...

                        Definitely have to question that bodywork.. Even for "in progress" it looks like it's going wrong.

                        And the roof rack, dear god. Just when I thought the bandwagoning couldn't be worse.

                        Anyways, it's cool that you do stuff yourself, maybe once the stance and bodywork is sorted, and everything is cleaned up it'll be nice.
