cheep diy mods
 
so i just droped like all of my mod money on my new black fr500s. so im on a tight budget for the rest of the summer.

ive been looking around and found a few cheep visual mods that i could do. so im going to paint my gas tank a satin black and mabe polish the strapps. (it looks faded and gray right now) and im gona make my own shorty antena, and i want to cut the hangy down part off of my front bumper. (that flat piece of uselessness)
so that will give u the idea. i didnt know if any one else had any stuff like that.

and dont worry, im gona fit in some real mods as well hehe.

Lower the wiper arms, paint the brake calipers, paint the interior acent pieces, remove that side stripe... I don't know what you already have done though.

and yeah paintint the calipers is on the list i just forgot. i just need to decide what color. im in between black and silver. everyone has the red ones.

+1 Yeah do somthing different. Silver wont be much different than what the metal looks like unpainted really. Id do black...

tristang 04-30-2008 06:47 PM

yeah cause now with the black fr500's the crappy looking parts really stick out.
now im not sure that ill do anything to the wipers. its my dd rain or shine. ill let u guys now when i get my gas tank painted. ive seen pics and it really makes a difference.

I lowered my wiper and I haven't noticed any problems when it rains. Maybe I just don't know beucase its been about 4 years since I've had the wipers where they normaly are. I just put them where the tip of the blade touches the cowl cover. And I vote black on the calipers, with a silver Mustang sticker from Ebay to put on'em. I saw a picture of that once and it looked really good. What about that side stripe? I think it should come off.

tristang 04-30-2008 07:50 PM

well a lot of people say that i should take it off. but i kinda like it. so im up in the air about that.

03_GT 04-30-2008 07:52 PM

Keep the flat piece of plastic on the bottom. It directs air up to the radiator.
