modding my car (aztek)- tribute to batmobile.

[austriker]

hellooo,
intro- okay so i bought a pontiac aztek a few months ago. a few weeks after buying it i realized it would be wicked to turn it into a type of batmobile. i loved batman as a kid and so this car will be like a tribute to batman and the batmobile.. it looks very much like it could be with some mods. i dont have much funds so it will be a slow process, but i was hoping for some feedback and advice from you batman fans.

current mods - so far i have changed the pontiac emblems to black, bought wheel cover (black leather), and changed the interior lighting to RED! also i bought some HID headlights (they are the blue ones, very bright and great!) but they are in the mail. its a slow process and i have spent a few weeks just making it nice and clean rather before progressing to batmobile mods..

plans for the future: custom license plate "bat-1" (from early batmobile), nice wheels and rims (black and red rims), tint front turn signals and back tail lights, manik tail light guards, tint front windows to match rear windows, paint interior trim red and black, seat covers- red and black, paint brake calibers red, and perhaps lowered with a body kit (but that will be $$ so it might not happen)..

incorporating the bat symbol- i dont want it to be overkill b/c i the batmobile is more subtle. i will get some symbols to put in the middle of the rims and i want to cover the wheel (where the pontiac logo/ horn button) with a bat symbol too. those might the only places..

conclusion- like i said this is process, and im in the very beginning so dont flame me. i have numerous ideas but a lot are for the future b/c i am a poor college student and do not have a lot of time..

for you- so i guess just let me know what you think and let me know if you have any suggestions or tips! here are some links for you to check it out:

If you're a poor college student, how did you afford to buy your own brand new car?

This is what I was thinking

FYI, the Aztek is at least 4 years old, as the newest one produced was in 2005. So it's not exactly brand new. However, the Aztek is hands down one of my favorite vehicle designs, so I can't wait to see what's in store for yours.

That car needs nipples.

 

[austriker]

well i dont have anymore money after that purchase. it really did not cost all that much, just like 3 summers of full time work..

jodo- you should check out my blog.. its slowly starting to take shape. any suggestions??

recently i have wanted to get a strip of LEDs that i can put on the headlights to make it look the r8. i know its not from the batmobile but i think its high tech enough for my bat-tek..

i am getting a fuel tank cover custom made. should i have an inscription put on it?
like "bat fuel only" or something?

for some reason i cant get a sig.. so heres a link to my cardomain page and my blogwhich i update more often than cardomain...

Get the Wayne logo inscripted on it, not exactly a Batmobile but more subtle then a Bat symbol.

whats that look like again? i have forgotten and cant find it on the interwebs

Awsome, I'll check it out.

Like I said, the Aztek has always been one of my favorite vehicles designs, so I can't wait to see more of it. The only other car I've ever liked is the Crossfire. Which actualy reminds me of something Bruce Wayne might have, LOL.

 

[austriker]

awesome, if you have suggestions let me know!

oh and yea the crossfire is pretty sick too!

i would totally recommend buying an aztek though, ive had mine for a few months and love it!
