    a few pics

    So I've been a member here for a while but never posted pics of my car. I don't take many pictures, but here are a few I took right after I got it. Not many changes have been made, paying for school, booze, and general repairs comes before making it look good. The clearcoat is peeling in a few spots on the hood, and some parts of the sideskirts and rear skirt have a little chipping in the paint. Interior isn't bad, I put replaced the shift and ebrake boots with leather ones from rscheiring. Also replaced the shift knob with a black anodized chrisd aluminum shift knob. Once summer rolls around I'll probably fix the rash and repaint the bottlecaps. Oh, and yes, I like it high for when I go offroading :P .

    Nice lookin car man. Pretty clean, keep up the good work.

      BMPD side skirts if I recall correctly. Definetly not iS skirts.

      doesnt look too bad, but needs more contrast in my opinion. Front end looks better than mine.

        With a drop, front lip, and maybe some wheels... It would be cool

          Ah, I'm confusing them because those are basically the only two sideskirts I like...

            lose the wing, and get some baskets... looks to be a good start.

              Nice car. Ditch the sunroof wind deflector thing.

                Awesome car. I don't know if I like the lower rear valence but I guess I would have to see it from a wider angle.

                  Sunroof deflector was lost soon after the pics. Not positive about side and rear skirts, though from pictures I believe the sides are bmp. I like it without the rear wing, but with the holes through the decklid im going to leave it for now. I doubt much will change on the car until after college, but its a lot of fun, and thats what really matters to me - I love the car.

                    Also, the rear skirt was there when I bought it, if anyone recognizes it and could tell me what it is that would be awesome, thanks.

                      When I find some baskets cheap near me in the next year or two hopefully I'll pick some up. Although as bad as this may sound, I kinda like the look of a clean set of bottlecaps.

                      Rear valance isn't my favorite, but I sorta like the fact that I haven't seen it on too many other cars, and I like having the exhaust run through the valance rather than below, but I guess its really personal preference.
                      Thanks for the comments everyone.

                        Nice.The skirts and rear valence look similar to the breyton kit.meybe you should get a breyton front lip and see how that looks.

                          I can partially agree, but weaves look far better, no contest. Bottlecaps are just saying, look at me, I can't afford weaves! :)

                            Paint color doesn't match on the skirts and rear apron, other than that it looks good.

                              In person, its a very close match to the body color. Its the bumpers that are really off.
