My 07 ZX5 1-Month Old and Nearly 4000 miles later! (56k Warning) - Focaljet

**ptruong** · 08-02-2007, 10:30 PM

Hey Everyone,
It's my car's 1 month birthday! 3818 miles later, and I'm still loving it. I did a few cosmetic mods so far and I have a few more things coming around next week. Including an RS spoiler, smoked signals, and a shorty antenna. I think that'll be it for now, seeing that I've got tuition and rent to worry about. My blackhousing headlights just came in, installed them and took some quick snaps. All pictures are taken with Nikon D50 or Canon SD450. I'm no photographer, but I hope you all enjoy my ride!

**ptruong** · 08-02-2007, 10:35 PM

I'm in Grand Rapids. I took a trip to Ann Arbor, my brother took it to Detroit one weekend and Pennsylvania another weekend. And I've been hittin' up the beach a lot, lately. lol. I don't plan on driving this many miles on a monthly basis, though.

**Tugboat** · 08-02-2007, 11:55 PM

looks good, i suggest window tint, painting your grille, and def suspension. How do you like that taillight film?

**ZX32K** · 08-03-2007, 12:30 AM

Looks good so far, would look good with a drop, good to see another focus representing west Michigan, have to keep an eye out for yah, I'm in G.R. a couple times a month....

**biscuitninja** · 08-03-2007, 12:35 AM

The 4x4 needs to go! But otherwise its looking pretty nice. Now paint the grill (color match or black).... good luck

That's 45,816 miles/year. Don't tell your insurance company

Have you changed the oil yet???

**ptruong** · 08-03-2007, 02:52 PM

Thanks for the replies guys!

Tugboat/biscuitninja: It's actually already tinted, 35% all around except windshield

. I do plan on painting the grille sometime and a drop, but I'm also trying to save some money, lol.

brads03zx3: Yeah, my brother got an oil change at a ford dealer in PA. I'm goin to University of Michigan in the fall, they have a free bus system, so I don't think I'll be driving it too much except on the weekends or when I come back home. It was just a freak month....4000 miles, when I look at it now, wow. That is A LOT.
