    Bright blue or white?

    Hey r3v I bought my car white, but when my friend who was the PO for a short time owned it, it was this crazy blue. I love it, what do you guys think? the white is plastidip so it should come off reasonably easily.

    it's so loud and crazy and unusual already, that the white just doesn't really make any sense! Just by making this post I think I know what I want to do..

    That car has been beat to hell, with the condition of it... Do whatever the hell pleases you. My vote would be white. Alpine is still the best color IMO

        McGyver peeling off paint costs $0, paint is not anywhere near a top priority but since I have the option I'm curious as to what you guys think!

          Choosing between white plastidip and that color is like choosing between an ugly chick and an even fatter ugly chick.

            my friend.
            please.

            please keep the car white.

            I once drove a jetta painted a god awful blue color like that for just one week. i wish i had a picture, the color was so similar.

            The only thing to which i can compare driving a car of that color would be recieving a colonoscopy with a harbor freight inspection camera from a fat hairy man named jerry in the dark alley behind a small seafood store.


            do not peel that dip unless its time for real paint.

                  Why....why is the oil cooler on the outside of the valance? I can't even focus on how horrid that blue is because I'm so concerned about that.

                    I don't know dude I got it like that. Is it easy to put inside? I think it works this way, haven't really been able to drive it hard yet and I'm diagnosing a no start. Is it bad to be on the outside?

                      I mean, it'll work that way but it'll also be exposed to road debris and people's bleeding eyes. There are two little plastic brackets that bolt it to the radiator core support just behind the valance. Looking at the pictures, it may be a good opportunity to take a look at the front bumper as well and see if it's all been properly attached. You could get lucky and be able to straighten that out without a huge amount of work.
