Happy (Belated) St. Patrick's Day!

To celebrate, I modded my car! I plan on getting 20" rims soon, I hope they will fit! Adding green neon underneath next though. Trying to fit 6 12" subs in the trunk too. HIDs and yellow fogs to follow!



I was thinking about these, too bad they aren't gold!



Think I can paint them gold? I also want to mod the exhaust to be as loud as possible. Suggestions?

Is it possible to get green HIDs? And dont bother getting projectors. Keeping them in the halogen housings will ensure that EVERYONE sees them in all their glory. You could even aim them up and to the left so oncoming traffic gets a good look

You will have to wait and see what happens April 1st.

In all seriousness, these are my upcoming mods. Sorry for the poor quality and lighting, my wife is photographing a wedding and I asked her to leave me one memory card. Did she?



Mods are:

Weathertech front and rear window visors (dark tint)
Nokya 2500k Hyper Yellow fogs (Stage 1)
Nokya 7000k Arctic White low beams (Stage 1)
FIAMM HK-9 D Vibrator Series (335Hz/130dB, low tone)

I was hesitant about the 7000k Arctic White because I'm sure it's more like Arctic Blue. But since I got them for $15 shipped I figured they are worth a shot. If I hate them they can be my "oh crap I my low beam died" quick replacement set. I didn't go with the Freeway Blaster horn because I wanted a lower frequency and lower amp draw, plus both are rated at 130dB anyway. I plan on adding it to the factory horn, depending on final sound. I am also giving my TRD drop-in a fresh clean and oil.

If anyone wants a DIY about my installs (I know they're easy but hey, it may help someone) let me know, I will try to take the extra time. I plan on doing a photo shoot with the different lights to show contrast (and maybe cutoff), and a final photo shoot of my car with everything. Look forward to my minor-mod thread soon, full of pics!

Green is for the Money, Gold is for the Honeys!

EDIT: You should get some 24K Dayton wire wheels with white wall tires to complete the look!

I personally think the Freeway blasters were worth getting
they dont take that much to power either. I tested them and they seemed to be okay with the car. Its like a camry's two tone horn. But do what you like. Just my opinion. I personally hated the stock horn and was extremely happy to take it off. the Freeway blasters are very satisfying to use Make a vid when you get the horns done
Cant wait to see the other mods!! I was thinking about the window visors......I saw them on a lot of Altis's when I visited Asia last summer but the only difference is that they have printed on them "Altis"

I have actually seen your video on Youtube before. I researched the horns for a while before I bought it. The main reason wasn't power concerns it was frequency, the closer I get to a 70-200Hz ship horn, the better.

I like the ship horn more, but we can compromise. How about both?
