Went wingless and relocated the 3rd brake light. I didn't have a drill handy (I did the entire mod on my lunch break) to punch through the rear deck lid like I wanted so this had to suffice. If you can see the car from the side it looks fucking buff.

It doesn't look half bad considering i made it from electrical tape. Just as long as you arent standing right up on it then you wont know. I wanted to put it on the rear

Version 1, trunkless + 3rd brake light:

gint · 2007-10-01 22:06:36

hey i have an idea...why not mold that light into the lower half of the lisence plate holder?

Or just snake the wires up through the rear deck then mount it inside?

how long are the wires man let me know considering this.

just enough to get in the rear decklid, it might snag a little when you open the trunk. Unless you take it from the loom that feeds it up to the middle. I'm just going to drill a little hole and feed them through, you wont be able to see it from the outside cuz oth the tints, until i stop

gint · 2007-10-01 22:14:46

if i did it i would just extend the wires and mount it in the rear window. Like you said you won't see it until you brake and it will look good back there

thetuna · 2007-10-01 22:18:21

for the win...

thetuna · 2007-10-10 20:42:27

Picture update, wing is back on after the second set were taken. It leaked too much.

Viet, Erik, Justin, Toasty, and I at Viet's shop:

thetuna · 2007-10-28 21:51:15

tee hee...

BlackoutV · 2007-10-29 18:11:48

nice car man! few words of wisdom:

love the wheels!

keep the spoiler ON!

exhaust looks a bit goofy.lol but does it sound good?
do I hear a sound clip coming in the near future?

thetuna · 2007-12-03 17:00:37

This is the grill project I was working on, shaved the emblem on the from and painted it to match the body:

And here's a shot of my winter rims/rims I can actually drive places because my other ones are borked:

thetuna · 2007-12-08 12:07:16

It was hit by a snow plow on 12/6/07. It's currently getting everything you see below repaired along with two new headlights and a driver's side mirror. for the time being I'm cruising in an 06' Saturn aura rental at my own expense.

LEGACYGTBIGGIE · 2007-12-09 05:40:46

i swear. you have the worst luck.

I hope that the company steps up.

And also why i love having Geico. rental coverage... always a life saver.

I can get that with progressive but I was led to believe by other parties that because of my age, I cannot rent a car. Which turned out to be untrue. But I did get a VERY good rate (compared to what they normally go for)

I got the car for 12 days for $290., which I still think is a ripoff.

But on the bright side of things... My new wheels came in today, and I have nothing to put them on. Does anybody know offhand the bolt pattern for a Saturn Ion... O.o

2k4Spec · 2007-12-10 17:42:07

they look real good man... congrats1

cszakolczai · 2007-12-10 17:47:18

I assume you are referring to the wheels?

Edgeracing.com for $799 + shipping (great fucking deal huh?) But i lucked out and this was one of the last sets sitting in their warehouse. 5zigen does not make these anymore.

gint · 2007-12-10 17:54:21

i still <3 and miss your BC's

bspec · 2007-12-10 19:38:24

Hey guys,
pics look AWESOME!
Which 1 of you painted the the bottom part of your rear bumper ?
It looks AWWEEEEEEEEESOME!!
I'm so doing that on my sliver spec ahahah =P
Is their a write up somewhere ? I remember seeing it but i cant find it ....
Pm me please

thetuna · 2007-12-21 19:59:07

i got my car back from the accident, the door alignment is off my an 1/8" of an inch on the drivers side, but i got 2 new headlights, everything was done very well, but not PERFECT. I might take it back in later on

thetuna · 2007-12-30 11:31:06

Put on my new rims and got it lowered, check it!

it's not actually lowered, but there are 2 fat kids on that side, that's just what it will look like if it was slammed

evildriver · 2007-12-30 13:53:13

Haha. Nice. The rims look really nice on there. You should post a sound clip of your exhaust. I am curious as to how it sounds.

LEGACYGTBIGGIE · 2007-12-30 14:30:38

SWEET RIMS Kevin.

Glad yoru car is back to normal

thetuna · 2008-01-03 22:25:36

Did a seafoam treatment today and recorded the results. i guess it kinda counts as an exhaust clip too.

NSFW since i say "shit" at the end.
