Yes they're fake.

A tiny bit darker, but it's hard to discern between the two, and you can only tell when you REALLY look for it.

The interior really isn't anything special. MTII wheel with a ZHP knob and a few dash cracks.:(

I see, is that vinyl material on the seats or leather? I'm noticing the similarity between our cars.


Sorry for the questions. BTW most likely they used PPG OMNI. I was giving crap to my shop guy who disagreed with the current paint job being too dark so I'm debating whether I should love it or hate it.

here are pics of mine

i thought so too because I had the same job done using PPG paint. did you find a mismatch in color between your body panels and the original coloring of your door jabs? I find my new sterling silver color somewhat darker

pictures of the interior please!

It was originally Sterling but it was repainted in 2008, It's a pretty close match, I believe the paint used was PPG? I had it done by Healdsburg Collision Center, they did an awesome job.:)

Good stuff. I ususally hate black with polished lip but this looks like one clean car.

I was thinking of getting those exact Kumho's. Size & everything!
How do you like them? Sticky?

I like them in the dry, but I haven't really tried them in the wet. They don't work very well when cold, I've had them break loose at the weirdest times without any sort of warning, and they aren't a real chirpy tire when they do break loose.

But, they are pretty damn awesome when they're hot and the road is dry.:)

Looking good! (well, black rims make my vagina angry)

You should think about ditching the front plate.

Black rims were not my first choice, and I'm still not a giant fan of them. I had to order wheels by a date, and they only had this color in stock. If I could have, I would have gotten pure silver.

I already draw enough attention as an 18 year old driver, I don't want to risk the ticket, or I definitely would.

Nice and Simple! Suspension?

Thanks! Ground Control kit that comes with the adjustable Koni's.

Car looks great!

Thanks! :D
