ok so im looking at cardomain.com and i see a hole crap load of cars with mods done to thier lumina's(and who says you can't mod this car). so i'm just dying to know where can i get mainly a spoiler and a custom dash. im thinking i would like a digital one, but i don't know where to look for all this stuff. and if i do find it i need it to be able to fit my car with out and modifieing. i'm also in the market for air ride or air supension(i think that's what it's called). im going to put my stero off for a couple years tell i get my car looking good. so if any one has a site with info on this stuff it would greatly help me. i already tried mymonte.com and they haven't let me!!!

^ he just won 10 large on a pull ticket... [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

umm i don't understand. but ok. i think your saying i just won 10 grand or sumtin. and no im going to be working on my my car to make it better of a year or 2 after i save up enough money

The longer you wait the more money your going to be putting into repairing your car from daily usage and old age. Id stick to a stereo a and wait to trick out a car that should be tricked out. Like an IMPORT HAHAHAHA lol

I sold my dodge and bought a Hyundai lol still cant trick it out but its not giving me as much trouble as the shadow was.

Your Lumina will never be the car you can call a 'chick magnet'. Even after you bling bling the heck out of it will be a XX year old car with XX year old problems... BUT with a decent stereo it can make you happy right now!

you guys are just saying the stereo will make me happy so it will get stolen again. i not willing to risk it again so im going to wait. and so what im not looking for a chick car or some import. im what they call enthusiast for a lumina. ever since i got this car i have fallen in love with the big brute. it's my baby and it deserves respect(altough it will not get much from people.). so if you don't like luminas as much as i do i don't really care, just don't go be saying that my car is a peice. cause i love it.

Wow.. what a completely ignorant thing to say :rolleyes:

You want to trick out a car? Pick up a fox bodied Mustang, a Camaro, or just about any car with a 350 in it.

People were tricking out their cars LONG before the imports came around. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I don't know where to start...

What I hate is how Honda became known as the first affordable imports to get tuning. VW Rabbits were being modified before Civics. Heck I had a Calloway turbocharged Rabbit when I was 17. That was 14 years ago!

ya im not looking to do to many upgrades. heres a list.
performance muffler and tail pipe.
digital dash i saw this on a lumina on car domain
maby put some racing seats in and get rid of the old 60-40 seat i got. or just put some just reg seats made for a lumina that are just meant for one person.
Put in some under glow for a 4 door sudan.
neon for my interior of the car. (these 2 things should be easy to do)
get a body kit for it. i saw this on many luminas and i also saw a company site that makes them.
rims
spoiler.
and i think that about sums every thing up. if thiers any thing i missed that you think i need to mod please say so.

o ya nad and air ride air supension(dont sure of name)

Listen to these guys.. If I had a bunch of money to burn I'd rip the drivetrain out of my car and go realwheel with a large V6.... probably 4.3 supercharged :D

then I need afermarket suspension, new rims, bodykit, exhaust, chop the roof, ect... ect.. In reality I got some 1/2 ass alum alloys and I may throw on some fresh pain in the summer as I have paint shop space I can rent for some beer... with a moddified GT body... got a (homemade)ram air intake I made... and a few other silly things to keep myself occupied... oh ya the stereo is OK too..

Anyway.. If I was really going to go out and spend a ton of cash, Id probably buy a nicer car and use that.. Read: aformentioned camaro w/350 would be nice...

Im gonna ignore the stuff about my ignorant comments since they were sarcastic and not so much ignorant.

Lumina kid, Do you think that stereos are the only thing that get stolen from peoples cars? Iv heard or rims, spoilers, interior mods all getting jakked from people. You cant go through life worrying about that, it takes the fun out of it. Heres what i would do assuming you dont got a lot of money and are still in school. 1. Save up for an alarm. Even if you dont have a stereo in your car people will stay away hopefully if they see the flashy little light that warns them. And you will feel much more confident about leavin ur car parked somewhere. We all know your a big drinker, you need to leave the car and take a cab sometimes.

2. Why do you want a big performance muffler? A mufflers not gonna do much for ya unless you have the engine mods done to go with it. Get yourself a 40$ cherry bomb from crappy tire, there loud and u can put a nice chrome tip on them.

3. Im not sure how much you think a digital dash costs but no affence i think thats a bit unrealistic right now. Your looking at a lot of money for one of those.

4.Neons? Ya sure why not, get the lady friend in the back seat in the mood you'll be loven it. Lumina's got nice big back seats dont they?

5. For the price your gonna pay for a set of rims for your ride you'd be better off puttin it towards a pimpin stereo then the rims.

Dont worry dude, If you build it slowly the Ladies will come.

digital dash cost alot im guessing. ouch and i was thinking they would be cheap just go to the junk yard and presto i got me a digi dash. ok so mabey i should wait till i got me some money and i actually have a real job. i guess i won't be entering my car in the spring fling for best looking interior. i guess ill wait and just but a brand new mustang and mod the hell out of that sucker.

my car is full of empty dreams and always will be till i have the money to fill those dreams. and hey im not that big of a drinker, i limted my self to only 2 beers last weekend

Dude im not tryin to discourage you or anything. If you wanna try and pimp your ride than do it up, im just saying you got expensive taste for having a small bank account. So do I, Sure i would like to be able to through away 2 grand for a nice amp and subs but no i stick to my budget and go with MTX, somthing that I can afford and at the same time be happy with.

yeah everyone has a good point, and you also have a good point, you love that car its your baby and you want to treat it good thats completley understandable. but... one day you'll realize that your list that you just put down there will cost you about the same ammout of money as a really nice new or newer car will. dont be one of these people that dumps that much stuff into a car thats not really worth it and then gets really sad about it later and offs themselves, i've had many of these friends and its a crappy thing to deal with, plus alot of that stuff is kinda cheesemo. get an alarm, put in a decent stereo, see what kinda deals on like used rims or other stuff you can get and save up and get a really nice car worth modding. that would be the best route, not trying to slag you just being realistic.

^^ Wat iv been trying to say but more to the point thanks.

yeah and like someone was saying earlier you'd ****e yourself if you actually knew how much a digital dash from someone like dakota digital will run you. however much you paid for you car would probably equal the digital dash. i knew a guy that bought some digital gauges and they were like 350-600 a piece. lotta cash, air ride is probably going to be a few grand, rims and tires atleast a grand, wing 300-800 bucks, body kit if available 600-up, then paint for the car atleast 1500, neon kit like 300 bucks, neon lights inside 100 bucks, so your looking just about 7 grand just for those goodies. doesnt make sence man.

ya ill just save up and get a brand new mustang. i have always wanted one. so maby by time im out of college i can buy one.

night all

see now thats a killer idea, get a mustang, put a supercharger on that baby. some nice rims, body kit, paint, and a stereo and sexified u can get ass. [img]smile.gif[/img] giver

digital dash=cha ching!

if you really want some cool appearance upgrades 1 could be big rpm meter hooked up on your dash, there kinda sporty (but tacky looking in many vehicles), wheels and tires used = around 1300$ probobly. neon lights I hear you can get pretty cheap now....but body kit=around 800$ and you maybe able to paint it yourself, or thats another 2000$. If you really love the car though and you think you wont love any other car more...then do the upgrades, im gonne spend around 4000$ on my car when im done...and you can buy the car in nice shape for less than what im spending to fix it and make it look cool.

my future plan, find newest mustang I can with a blown engine...then buy a x-cop car that go up for auction every year, they have a 4.6L fuel injected engine, the same engines that go into the mustang gt. After thats done I have seen people running 10s with almost nothing but a centripital supercharger. whole plan should be in total less than 10000$

well im just gonna put all my future car plans to the side and start saving for a mustang. i can mod the hell out of that car when im rich. ill still save for college and stuff like that.

A Calloway turbo Rabbit? Very cool [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img] Got any pics? Calloway was the shiz back when turbos were the way to go for power back in the 80s, before technology advanced to the point where you can now get the same power unassisted that boosted cars used to have.

stop talkin and start doin then [img]tongue.gif[/img]

u can mod your car with your hopes and dreams LOL

the most respectable thing u can do to a lumina is to leave it stock

If you have college to pay for, I would highly recommend leaving any kind of mods until after you graduate because post-secondary is always WAY more expensive than it first seems.

ya and the way im seeing things the mustang i want is going to cost me like 700.00 a month so i will just wait till after school and buy my dream car and start doing stuff to it then. mustangs are the nicest car out of almost any that i have ever looked at, thier are some pretty nice imports out thier.(don't you guys dare start any thing)so i may buy an import when i get out of school or a mustang.

So you want to bling up the car so the whole thing gets stolen and parted out? You can do a stealth system that is hard to see that there is anything there... then just don't drive up to your house or sit in your drive way with the system blaring. When you go to the mall, turn it down a block or two before and so on. Enjoy the music but don't turn yourself into a target.

Well first you send him a PM and then you two can decide on your Team Grandpa logo, maybe get jackets and big decals for the back windows, etc.

Then you can make all the bingo hall patrons jealous when you cruize by [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
