Default Budget Build Thread

Well I figured I'd document a build thread of my MY02 Sebring since I regret not doing one for my MY00 Silverstone. Bought the car 4 weeks ago (April 9) bone stock off a member on here.

Previous Silverstone that I sold to finish school






Next to my old SC300



Week 1: First thing was to get a front lip (ebay) and to contact GT Motoring for some Espelir springs. Bought some paint from paintscratch.com and painted the lip and wheels (unfinished).


Week 2: Bought a U-brace from a member and installed it. Drove to Culpeper to pick up a VIS CF hardtop. The weather was too nice so the top stayed off for a week.

Week 3: Ordered a Megan OE 2.5" muffler and welded it up with spare 2.5" tubing I had laying around the garage. Finally found the pin striping tape I was looking for and decided to finish my wheels.



Week 4: Slapped the hardtop on because this week is calling for rain. Most recent pics from this morning.

Looks good. I think it would be cool if you added some sort of subtle red accent to the roof to match the wheels.
