I came home with my baby last night. We snapped a few pics in a parking garage nearby. I know they're nothing amazing, but I'm still in awe.




Hope you guys like it.

 

Nothing like exhaustion at 3AM. XD

 

congrats on the new car! but, you have to do somethin' with those wheels.

 

congrats , you got the best color, now you have to drop it , paint the calipers, buy clear corners, buy the appereance package on ebay and buy an exhaust ,.... thats it... :P

 

congrats and +1 on the drop

 

what mirrors are those??? they look like the ones from Ganador to me, ???

 

Yeah Definitely.

Progress Springs just for you

Welcome and enjoy the car, have fun!

 

I think the mirrors are Autobahn, congrats on the car

 

welcome to the club!!

wasnt this car on the forum before? i think i remember those wheels

 

^ i should think so. look like stockers.

 

I hate the mirrors. If you look at my thread from when I was looking at it, I went on and on about how much I hate them. >< Whoever did the wheels didn't do an awful job...but they're now that well done and it irks me.

Otherwise, I love it. Thanks a ton guys.

 

Wait.. the previous owner was on here before? or are you pulling my chain?

It was originally purchased brand new in Texas. It's in pretty good shape. 55k Miles.

 

welcome. Car looks good, I would take some of the advice others have thrown out. Enjoy

 

there was a girl in one of those pics this morning....

 

welcome and congrats on the car!

 

Haha, my wife decided she didn't like the photo, so I took it down. We're going to take some more when we get a day off, so don't be upset.

 

^ damit i missed it ... plus one on more pics with her and congrats on the car .. def drop it please

 

I will as soon as we move. We have these MONSTER speedbumps out here that I can barely clear as is. As soon as we move.. it's on! XD

 

I ment the way they are painted looks very familiar. I could be wrong though

 

huh..who knows? I don't think I've ever seen it on here. I've been looking for an 8 for over a year now. Haha. I'm probably just going to repaint them all black, I really don't like the silver. I've gotten a lot of compliments on them, but I can't stand them. The rims and the mirrors.. ugh. lol

 

Congratulations on the car, and welcome to the addiction.

BTW, this guy had a Velocity Red with rims painted similarly, and he's from Texas:

looks like he sold it to this guy:

a couple of years ago, so you're the 3rd owner (assuming it's the same car)

 

Nice ride congrats welcome to the club

 

Looks like I could be the 4th owner. O.o There's no black vinyl on the hood, the mirrors have been changed, and he mentions that the suspension isn't stock, but it looks like it is to me. His was also dropped and mine isn't. Hmm... the similarities are amazing though.

 

And I don't have the wind guard for the sunroof...but these are all things that could have been changed. Did anyone know the mighty red's real name? I have his paperwork. lol

 

+1 on fixing the rims!
