Help please with my Car

kb5187 · July 22, 2006, 9:46pm

Hey
Im gonna be 16 soon and also be driving soon. I recently aquired my grandmothers car. She only put 13000 miles on it and bought it brand new. It is a 1998 Ford Escort Zx2. It has the alloy wheels, 6 cd changer, spolier, sun roof, etc. Sport model. Anyway the car is great, but tottally factory. I would like to do some stuff with it as in body kits or something. I dont know. But the one thing i have to change is the color. As you can see, it is a horrid girly green. Im a straight guy, but it really is a girly color. So what i am asking is for an opinion on what i should do and where should i start on this car. I also would like to integrate my ipod into the car. PLEASE give me ur advice.

I guess he isn’t serious at all, but that’s what happens when you are 15. Almost zero focus.

I just havent checked back lately. Take it for adults to get bent out of shape. But thank you all for the advice. I really like the way the car looks in blue. I think a lighter blue is actually alright. Does anyone have photos? Thanks,

Perhaps a Le Mans style stripe over the hood and top?

Welcome to the boards man. First off, dont worry about the body so much, maybe change the paint, but most of all, make sure you can be most small v6 cars out their. Put some money into making the car perform better. Keep the body mostly stock so you dont draw too much attention, so then its more embarrasing when you really rape someone off the line.

sleeper cars rule!!!

There was a 4-door Tracer at NEM 04 that had all sorts of kits and wings plus gutted interior. Definitely a lot queen though. 20sec 1/4 mile. Don’t be that guy.
