Here's what I'm planning for My C4 I drag race it.. (& do pretty well) again ask Mojo However I do have my moments where my age showes... I ran over my TAG Weather system last week ($429 shot)

But this thread really has me on a roll... I just put on the Maxwell House Coffee Cans on my exhaust...

And I just got off the phone with several venders... I ordered ..

1. Florescent lights to put under the side rocker panels..

2.I got stick on FLAMES for the hood

3. Also spinner hubcaps.. not what your thinking.. these keep on spinning even after you come to a stop !!

4. I am having hydraulics installed on the front wheels so at the race track they will "THINK" I'm doing a wheelie when I leave the line...

5. I also cashed in my IRA and bought a 4,000 watt Kicker speaker to install in the rear... I'm deaf anyway but the BASS vibrations will probably "Turn Me On" not much else does ,,, unless I go to an Import Race and see all the 16 yr old "Eye Candy" .....I only say that because when I married my wife she was a 34C now she is a 34L (long)

6. Do you guys think a fuzzy thing on my mirror would look tacky ?

7. I also ordered a TRIPLE Level Wing.. I know its kinda tall.. but it sure helps those Honda's FLY at the track..

8. I tinted my windows Chrome so they look like a mirror & you can't see me when I'm at the line...

9. I also put the slicks on the front wheels to sorta fake out the competition.. they wont know if I'm front wheel Drive or Rear Wheel Drive.. Good Idea I think ... damn I'm getting smarter with age...Imigine when I hit 80

10. Last but not least.. I'm leaving this open for you guys to please help me with my future mods...

PS I already have the Type R stickers on both sides & a Chrome one on the hood..

Again thanks for listening & any help would be appreciated...
Hey thanks for your opinon a-hole

do what you want, alot of people will give you hell, but who cares. if someone came in and changed the doors on my car at night, id be pissed, but if they go home and cut their own arm off, glue it to their head, and jump off a building, i couldnt care less...it isnt my life, and hell, i got a good laugh out of it. they advertise those door kits in all the magazines at some point or another, check there. but for the custom feel to a car without talking performance, id have to go with the stereo, the stock ones suck on the c4s...good luck with the car and welcome to the forum...sorry for the rough start youre gettin'...but i promise, this forum will help you more than not, there are alot of smart guys on here.
