When I saw the pic of your oilpan I was like "Whoa yeah" pretty loud.

Good job.

[Kristuphir]

Man, you certainly showed THAT oil pan who's boss.

I've had road hazards pop up so much more often if there's a lady friend aboard...I can't imagine why that might be.

Thats a rear bumper piece mounted to the front bumper, correct? are your blinkers wired to your city lights? two positives make that setup uber cool

you should hang that Ohio plate from the spare tire well so its seen under the bumper... so what if you bend it a few times.

If only it was possible to have sex with a paint job...

What kind of wheels are those?

Borbet type t's. 16x8 I believe?


Sucks about the pan... But as always your car is so fucking bad ass!

[mattdk318i]

Would this do the same thing?

Thanks for all the kind words people. Really didn't expect all that seeing as I'm the guy always telling you that your car isn't low enough and that you need to space your wheels more.

The signals are LEDs recessed in the euro grilles, in between the low and high beams, like one bar up. They were supposed to be "daylight visible." They are not. I don't care.

The front signal/plate recess delete is in fact a rear bumper strip modified to work up front. Another fun fact is that my front bumper is tucked so far that I had to remove it to gain access to the tow hooks. Good thing it comes off with one bolt. It is temporarily living in the back of my rented 2007 Kia Optima, which is, by the way, the best car ever conceived and built by man. I really enjoy me-too styling, an interior apparently designed by the same guy that did the 1980s airport lounges, and an on-center dead spot that rivals the true benchmark for steering feel - the 87 ford country squire wagon.

Wheels are Borbet Ts, 16x9 ET 15 with lots of spacing front and rear. If you want to run wide wheels, stretch, and the euro look, you have to follow through. The suspension, wheels, and spacing are the main reason I felt I could pull off some crazy exterior finish.

For those who haven't seen it, the car is copper, the green is oxidation. The first three pics are actually from 3 different shoots... first pic was right after I did the copper the first time(roof oxidization mostly), second was 6 months after the second refinish(almost no patina, real dark), and the third pic is the day after the last refinish.

As for a skidplate, that was in the plans for later this summer... but only because I'm going lower. ;)
