From east coast to west coast, here are snap shots of ESM's readers' rides!
By Tommy Alexander
If you just can't stand it and want to give your method of transportation a little attention, you can submit at least three color quality photos of your ride, that are in focus and well lit, to ESM and we will gladly post it in the next issue. Please shoot and send photos of your auto ONLY (no people, pets, Polaroids, or printouts). It is important that you include a detailed description of the mods that have been performed on your ride, including any interesting stories you may have. Contact ESM for more information, otherwise send your photos to: Elite Streets Magazine, Readers Rides', P.O. Box 1415, Hendersonville, TN 37077-1415.
(NOTE: Due to the high volume of mail that we receive, we are unable to return photographs.)

Who would have ever thought a Ford Escort could ever look this cool? A guy named Kirk from Ontario Canada sure as hell did! Kirk decided to push his Escort right into the cool category by heavily modifying his ride from the simplistic Ford design to a more updated and visually appealing one. Kirk's 1994 Ford Escort LX modifications include: candy apple red with red flakes, front bumper, 2001 Acura Integra headlights up top, and 2000 Impreza Japanese spec bumper bottom, Volkswagen flares, with Honda Accord side skirt, Acura Integra custom back bumper with 2001 civic tail lights, and 2001 Ford Focus mid light. Rock on Kirk... rock on!

This 1998 Acura Integra GSR, owned by Arron of All Things Custom in Whites Creek, TN, is one very nice ride! Professionally painted inside and out. Flawless paintwork really sets this car off. Chameleon carbon fiber is painted inside a neon green border. Graphics run off the hood and onto the dash. the powerplant consists of a B18C engine with cold air intake. Valve cover, exhaust heat shield, radiator, fan shrouds, strut bar, coolant/washer jugs, are all painted to coordinate. Blue wire loom kit to match. Stainless steel hose covers. The suspension is handled with R-1 Racing coilovers with blue springs. The rotors have been painted blue and calipers green. Dust shields painted silver. Rolling stock consists of R-1 Racing wheels with Falken 225/40/ZR18's laying down the black marks. Inside, Arron hooked up the audio department with an Alpine 9807 head unit with Audiobahn A3201 420X2 amp. Audiobahn AW1000Q 600W 10"subs. A custom painted fiberglass speakerbox "cover" neatly hides the spare tire and looks like the box is molded in! Keeping his ride easily identifiable at night, Arron installed a Streetglow Gold series undercar kit, clear corners up front, and custom painted factory lenses in the rear. Oh yeah, the word on the street is this ride is for sale. Contact us for details!
