making a sleeper

[sidewayzS13]

what are some tips and tricks you can do to make a kick ass sleeper. im just curious what are some things that can be done to make a car less noticable

[sidewayzS13]

i made this thread just to go against the bodykit threadi figure if we cover bodykits and what not lets talk about the opposite which would be sleeping

no flashy rims but good rubber, no excess body parts, no flashy paint job, no crazy colours inside.. and a fast engine.. its not a sleeper unless its fast

stock and heavily built...you can get carbon fiber for weight loss...then paint over it...like im going to...tint your windows dark...then gut the rear seats...get some stocker look alike wheels that are like 9" wide...then get some hella sticky rubber...being a sleeper is way easier than being flashy...oh yea...quiet exhaust is a key
no one thinks a 69' camaro that is loping is a piece...unless its rusted...but everyone will still think its fast...you get some roller rockers...(no lope) and your hella fast with out the dragster sound...i know a 69' camaro is alittle off subject..lol

the best way to be a sleeper is not fix any dents you may have on the car. or if you don't have any kick in a side panel or something. then throw some pretty expensive rims on. they'll think your trying to hard to look cool, then when you smoke them...they will fear you ;-p

Eh... I figure the sleeper look has changed, what with all these broke ass people (enthusiasts) doing engine swaps and leaving out any exterior or superficial mods. Make your car look ricer with the balls to back it up... that'd be sleeper nowadays. Too many ghetto looking cars out there kicking people's asses. People learn.

if you really want to keep quiet than dont lower the car too much. . . no more than 1 inch down. if you're only street racing than you dont need an extremely stiff, low suspension. and factory wheels help a lot as well.

nice shocks, modest springs, stock look.

i was about to suggest making it look really ricey but someone already said that
for the exhuast part to get the benefits of a large exhuast for say a turbo there was this one thing my friend showed me it looks like a throttle body almost it is fitted to your exhaust and the pressure created by a turbo opens it, otherwise it stays closed and you have a stock sounding exhuast

i saw this thing the other day, forget what it was called, but it is a piece that u weld into the exaust pipe and it branches off and has a opening right behind the downpipe. u press a button and it opens up so u have a completly free flowing exhaust but u keep ur stock exhaust on so u dont have some ricy looking exhaust. sorry if my explanation is scatter brained. but that shit is very sleeper stopped at a light press the button and ur exhaust is wide open

[driftking777]

yea thats what hot rods use...very slick...you can buy it in jegs for like 30 bucks

[sidewayzS13]

what is it called they have them so u can maualy open them or so its electronic and all u have to do is press a button and poof 5 seconds later ur race ready

other sleeper tips:

beany baby's in the rear window
"back the blue" bumper stickers
dealership license plate frames
rig up a fake oil leak. noone expects a mean machine to be dripping fluids at a stop light.
good rubber

and then the traditional:
sneaky pete bottle where the tire jack is supposed to go. if they pop the hood, make sure you installed the nozzle on the bottom of the intake and wrapped the hoses in electrical tape

shift light in AC vent

gauges in ashtray

put a "got rice" sticker on there too....or a super street sticker so it looks like your trying to be fnf cool street racer man!!! Then when shit hits the fan, dust anything that challenges.

Put a "Rice Inside" sticker.
