First real pics of my car after a quick wash/wax
 
I don't think I've officially posted pics of my car in the gallery yet so I figured I would share. Feel free to comment, give opinions, make suggestions, criticize...just let me know what you think!

Nice clean ride... I am a fan of black on black if you know what i mean.... now just clean out that garage so you can keep it clean :)

Vypurr 05-21-2008 08:53 AM

Looks good, but that car needs tint.

PoorMan'sR 05-21-2008 10:32 AM

you know im not usually a fan of saturns, but the looks really damn good

twastheglow 05-21-2008 10:35 AM

You need more black in there. 5% tinted windows perhaps? :wink:

Begging for tinted windows, a drop, and MAYBE even some black-headlight covers for the daytime.

Night-Rider that ****.

Your car looks great! Everytime I see yours, I keep thinking I need to tint my tails. The black on black look is always sleek. Nicely done!

Um, it *is* dropped. Stock Ions, redline or not, look like they have a lift kit installed on them. The wheel gap is that bad. :(
Now black out/CF your emblems and paint your headlight chrome. Use vinyl or something simple. The red of the logos sticks out, and the headlight painting is ridiculously easy. (Mine turned out just fine :) )
Your RL didn't come with a pinstripe? A small silver one might be a good accent on it.

Crack those headlights open and paint that chrome black it will look 100 times better I think. I dont like the black vinyl headlight covers. That tint and the before mentioned small silver pinstripe it would look great.

the back end of your car is sexy

DBryden 05-21-2008 12:58 PM

Thanks guys!

I'm holding off on tint for now until I get a waiver from the DMV, for some reason everybody around here gets pulled over for that. I feel I've pressed my luck with the tails for long enough lol. And unfortunately, it IS dropped...like QCs R4 Girls said, they come with a lift on 'em haha...with the 18s on there, unless I got a thinner tire, any lower and I'm rubbing my rear wheel well.

And as for the headlights, I've got a spare set sitting in that dirty garage that I have plans for. To give you a hint, if you look at my headlights, you'll notice they're extremely similar in shape to an Audi R8 headlight...can you say awesome retro-fit project?

hmmmm dats will look nice

Vinny 05-21-2008 01:18 PM

awesome, awesome,awesome. I've never seen a saturn done so clean.
goodluck with that retrofit!

QCs_R4_Girls 05-21-2008 02:19 PM

There's a picture of R8 headlights chopped onto a Saturn floating around on the Ion forums:

Other pictures here
That little orange strip in the corner was how I got the idea for my tinted corner markers. Between the DLR & the side markers, there's just entirely too much orange on the front end of those cars.

twastheglow 05-21-2008 06:18 PM

That headlight conversion would be sicker than an AIDS clinic!

Looking good!

JerseyTuscani 05-21-2008 06:36 PM

GsrSiHatchie 05-21-2008 08:00 PM

those headlights will probably have to be stolen... good luck :thumbup:
