Default Done for the Year!!! (PICS)

Hey everyone, first and foremost id like to thank everyone on this forum for forming a great community...a place where we can share our experiences about the things we truely love...i was the kind of guy who said i wasn't going to mod...but this year...i started spending a lot more time on this forum...and became a lite modaholic compared to some of you...check out the mods i got done thruout the year...

(i just finished my last exam today...and as soon as i got home...i gave the vette a wash...it was filthy and it was really bothering me but i had no time because i had to study)

so here's some pics of it just shining

so now onto the mod pics...
Chrome Exhaust Plate...Borla Stingers (Quad Oval)

20% Tint

19/20" Foose Setup (lowered)

KOOKS headers...hi-flo cats and x-pipe

and now heres a few of the winter ride (06 jetta full load 2.5L....5spd)





AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF...(NO PICS OF THIS ONE)
50lb weight reduction mod done to the car....(i lost 50 lbs this year )


MERRY CHRISTMAS AND BEST WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR!!!!

Quite a collection of cars for being 19. Don't take it for granted.

Great pics of the vette, and your house is pretty cool too with the big bay windows.

Congrats on the weight reduction mod! I am sure you "feel" that that was the most productive mod you've accomplished this year!

How'd you do that one???
