Well I won't be attending FR or FF, and the largest show I will be going to is IR here in Houston, so I figured I would construct this thread. For warning, my car is fairly dirty and the engine bay WILL be cleaned soon, just sayin!

I got her in early 2010 after my Escape died a tragic, slow, agonizing death. Some time over that summer, I installed a K&N intake and JBL sub/amp. Don't have any images of those at first install, so they start around October.

October 2010, when I joined FF.com



Few weeks later, wheels and tires were aquired! 17" black KMCs wrapped in Yokohama 215/45s, and one Kumho (hey they were already on, so why not)



Got my tint in January-ish



Then I got myself some low! With the help of Adam (AKA zinger)





Then she got her nametag! Customer black and gold euro plate to go with the overall black and gold theme of the car :)



Then late February, taken in the same place as my first picture!




And here is a little bit of engine bay progress. In chronological order.







And today, one of the final pieces before Import Reactor later this month, my team sticker! :)




And that's that for the time being. I have more stickers in the works for added horsepower of course. Hope you guys like it!

And here are the camera pix I took of the car.







Driving up there with my teammates Julio (Civic) and Potato (350)



Then we pulled over to let some other members catch up.



And that's about it for now.

Love the hounds tooth so much better. Haven't seen that one done yet, everyone else is doing plaid.

And lol, it's rather fun going to Johanns and shopping with all the old ladies. "What's this for".....they ask when I bought my plaid. I should have told them I'm making catholic school girl skirts.

Honestly after doing the splatter on the shifter, I'm considering redoing the armrest and handles. And keep the houndstooth for the headliner and trunk liner. And Joann is the bomb diggity.

Haha auto is just the hand I was dealt. I am actually mostly in Spring around the 2920 and 45 area. But I go to school at LS Montgomery on 242. You might catch me rolling through there today around 9:50AM on my way to take an exam I am entirely unprepared for.

Got annoyed by life in general today, so I disconnected myself from the world to do some work on the car. Removed some of the excess junk from my stock intake, routed a snorkel, and changed the turn signals. And just took random pictures along the way. Here you go.










And some older pictures I haven't posted yet.

Saw that too. The other cars in that picture are my teammates, and I know they like my car, or they wouldn't allow me to park with them. Doesn't matter though. People always post shit but have nothing to back it up. Their only argument is "it's just a focus." Until someone has something to say that has any substance, I don't give a damn what they have to say.
