Watsons ride

[watson80]

Thanks to everyone one this site. You all helped me so much! There is no way I could have done this car without you. It is my pleasure after 8 months of work and planning to unveil my 2001 XD. I hope I do you all proud! :multiples

I hope I can get your support for my car in June COTM!! It would be a team victory actually you all helped me so much! check out June COTM for pics!! I just nominated my ride

[sed]

i think you deserve the COTM, I am withdrawing

shawn :)

[yevRPS]

car looks nice...lots of work

sed, are you withdrawing cuz you think watson should win or are you scared and don't think you stand a chance?? :poke:

[watson80]

Thanks a ton guys really! Its so nice to see all that work come together and have the finished product look so good. I was very nervous about all this!

[Luckydvl]

where is the picture

[sed]

lol...

With all the things I have done to my car that NOONE else has, i wouldn't be suprised if people would vote for me, my car is no where near as pretty as his, but I know some people will like it.

To answer your question though, I believe he deserves the COTM, his car is really nice, there are a lot of things I would not have done, but i respect the time, effort, thought, and money he put into the car.

once again, great job watson I hope you win, you deserve it.

shawn :)

[SuperGLS]

where is the picture

Yeah, there isn't any pics... I'm confused.

[2GTS]

Check out the COTM nominations post or maybe a mod could move them over here also.

[HatchetMan]

he has expressed his inexperience w/ computers & uploading pics. a little help probably wouldn't hurt. I checked out cotm, very nice watson80, I'd vote 4 ya!

[watson80]

thanks....the only pics I could get up are on COTM....so for now you have to go there to see them

[HatchetMan]

:luvlove: AWWW thanks Hatchet...I love you man!

[HatchetMan]

don't mention it :cool:

[watson80]

I think I am screwed now though. I wanted my big unveiling to be COTM and Rshack is back at exactly 1 yr. His car is really nice. Hopefully the newcomer to COTM will get some love and steal a few votes away. He has a damn nice car though. It might be close. I might have to open up like 30 new screen names and vote myself in or my plan will be foiled :crash_com ......just kiddin about the voter fraud...or am I? :ssst:

[04Elantra]

The body kit looks sick!! :)

You do the work on it yourself? Is it an "Ebay Special"? :cool:

simply: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[watson80]

I bought the kit from NRGMotortrend....I got a great body guy too...he also did my interior work. I know you cant tell from the pics but all that is smooth like clear coat...he even sanded all the ruff stuff around the cup holders smooth!

Dont squash my dreams everyone VOTE 4 ME!!!! :eclipsee_

[XTRAWLD]

Bump - your car is nice.....really....the red is a little too much for me, but it still looks nice. The kit is outstanding. The exterior is just awesome. Is that sorta rectanglar thing at the back your exhaust?? COTM shoulda been yours man!

[watson80]

Yeah thats an Evo 5 exhaust its designed for the hatchback evo rear bumper

I guess i will just have to enter for July now. July is my Bday month so maybe I will get lucky!

[KDMdreamin]

like that blue...i'm gonna assume you don't have any problems with seeing the road at night?

[watson80]

No problem with vision! I also put HID blue headlightbulbs in. Those and the blue fogs light it up good at night! But not blinding for other traffic.

[XTRAWLD]

That exhaust is awesome - it suits the back so well.

[watson80]

Yeah I really liked how it matched the kit and it is definately different from everything else so i went for it!

[Jlivan]

With all the interior mods did you forget the car mats? That throws everything off. Exterior is cool but the interior is too red for me. Overall outlook of the car is pretty sweet.

ps: Please tell me you are going to buy some new floor mats!!!

[watson80]

those rugs are only in there to protect the carpet they are ghetto but my carpet inside is spotless after 3yrs of driving! they are for protection not pretty...I shoulda took them out for the pics!

[OPZ]

Dude! Your in Butler too!? You have to be, that dealership is right next to my friends house, we walk to that 7-11 all the freakin time. HOW COULD I MISS THAT CAR! That thing is beutiful, and now im ganna be keepin an eye out when im drivin around. You've probably seen mine motoring around town, silver GLS with silver washer nozzels and spinner hub's (oh ya, forgot to mention mine has 2 antennas on it, 1 being a radio antenna since my parents are ham radio operators, so my car looks like an oversized RC car :cool: ). Im proud to say my car is one of the pretty much 3 cars in this cruddy town with spinner wheels or hub caps. But nice car man! GL on getting COTM!

(Also, im pretty sure im the youngest member to these fourms, and thanks to PA law, I still have 50 some days till I can get my freaking jr's... arge...)

[watson80]

OPZ I live by the YMCA....if you want stop at the dealership and check it out. My real name "Dominick Hillwig". Thanks for the props Vote me in!!!

[2GTS]

Im proud to say my car is one of the pretty much 3 cars in this cruddy town with spinner wheels or hub caps. Spinner hub caps are not something to be proud of. :rolleyes:

[HatchetMan]

Spinner hub caps are not something to be proud of. :rolleyes:
Yo, if APC makes 'em, then they must be tight, right?

j/k

[watson80]

"Say no to spinner caps" PLEASE!!

[Jlivan]

OH my god I just saw a Elantra w/spinner Hub caps.....It was sad. Do they have a class to school people on this subject matter? Spinner Hub caps are a joke...if you can't afford real rims leave it stock........!!!

[HatchetMan]

Spinners, rims or hub caps, make me wanna get outta the car and smack that driver silly.

[OPZ]

Sorry, but I had to get something other then the stock ones that I was SO close to breaking cause of how they look. Anyways mine actually manage to somehow flow with the car, and its mine, so tough for you all. Anyways its funny watching old people sitting in passenger seats stare at them as they go past. But a lot of people around here like them, so im keeping them on till I get some real rims!

[HatchetMan]

What ever floats yer boat. We aren't a bunch of haters, just voicing 2 cents worth.

[watson80]

yeah....do what you gotta do. Its all good!

[2GTS]

Ok I have a little bit more respect for you since they will go bye bye in the future. But aftermarket hub caps in general make baby jesus cry.

[SuperGLS]

Stay on topic guys, if anyone wants to talk about spinning hubcaps on Elantra another thread should be started. Plus, I wanna see pics.

[OPZ]

Heh, if you ment pics of my car, they will show up sometime, my GLS has to go get its 30k mile service at where watson works, and to be back on topic, 2 days after I saw this thread, I saw his car goin down 8, and let me tell you, those pics do that car no justice. That car is so beautiful to see in real life. Even my friends who only caught a glance said it looked really nice. Congrats on a killer car man!

[watson80]

Thanks. I think I past you the other day buy Walmart too i remember the spinner caps! Its nice to have something soooo different from everything else around!

[OPZ]

Yes sir, that was me and my mom (dont have a jr's yet, but the car is "mine") But ya, my car is one of like, 3 in the city that have spinner anything and still manage to look decent. But i think this all is getting a tad off topic, so perhaps i'll go with my mom when she drops the car off for the 30k matainence and introduce myself if your working.

[watson80]

cool look me up

[mbv2001]

whatever happen to this person?

[slow 2K2GT]

[watson80]

[OPZ]

Sweet, the other butler Elantra is back! YAY! :bowdown: :multiples
