Shamu 2.0: Simple & Clean

tmntmn · 05-06-2012, 10:33 PM

I picked up my car back in 2009 and told myself to keep it stock, after a week owning the car the bug mod bit me and i gave SonicMS a call. The car ended up from this

and after SonicMS did their magic

I tried to convince myself i didn't need anything else for the car but got bored of it and wanted to change things up a bit, wanted something more simple and clean with a OEM touch to it. After looking around and trying to figure out what i should do next i ended up selling a bunch of my mods to start over with the car, i wanted the GTS look so i been searching for the right company to make GTS parts in carbon fiber and ended up reaching out to Sam w/Mode Carbon for the front lip/diffuser which i can't wait to get. I ended up selling my 220m wheels and picked up some ZCP wheels and drop them off to get them Powder Coated in Black with 20% gloss.
