please tell me you plan on lowering and adding DECENT rims...
|
interesting.
Do you have oem body? Also, you need a new intake system! |
i will eventually get a good adjustable suspension set up and a decent set of rims soon. i have the oem body, but might get a kit for next season. i'm kinda happy with my K&N typhoon kit since it came free with the car.
|
I'm praying to sweet little 7lb 3oz baby Jesus for that car.
|
with a body kit, rims and suspension, I think the car will look fine.
But, the intake isn't good for your engine. I believe that it actually has a negative effect.Search around for dyno results. But, if you're happy with that, then that's all that matters... |
Wasn't this color done long ago by someone else overseas? Seems like a quality job work wise. At least you picked the right intake for it.
|
lol, its a fun lil ride, working in a collision shop and having access to the paint equipment made this a $200 paint job and just a bunch of my time.

i'm not sure, ive looked and didnt find one like it. i just liked that green especially the way it looks in the sunlight.
|
is there a better intake system. its the only thing i got. it might be why i have a running issue even with a new motor.
|
OP: shot in the dark here...but...if by chance...you are looking at some "sweet" Chrome Dubs or something ridiculous...please....STOP IT.

Lime green is hard to pull off and most will hate it but if you like it then who cares what anyone else thinks. It's not the lime green that i don't like so much, it's the two tone theme that has been done again, and again, and again. Just please do not tell me you are looking at buying the Veilside fish face kit. |
props for picking a different color and giving it a try. give us some hi res pics in sunlight when it is all back together
|
I'm not into dubs at all or even chrome for that matter. i think i'll stick with 18"s but just havnt found a set that catches my eye yet. I will look into a better intake system and see how it works out.

You are gonna have a HARD time making the car not look like this. |
yea i'll take some good pics. yeah i know about that two tone job has been done but personally i kinda liked it that way, i'm not looking at veilside kits there too overdone, i was even thinking just the mazdaspeed kit.
|
yeah i know, but i will do my best for it not to look like a complete ricer.
|
Jesus was 7-3??
|
MS kit with decent rims w/good fitment would definitely be a refreshing take on bright color schemes.
|
I will look at some rims very soon, might like some suggestion on what might fit good and look good.
|
"look good" is subjective. What looks good to some, won't to others.
Read the "Will it fit" sticky |
|
I'll pre-emptive strike on reading that sticky.....lower the car first and then look for wheels.
|
^straight up 4x4 ackshun :D:
yay for stickers! lol. p.s. - boooooo ambers :nono: |
|
yeah thats true. even has there own personal opinions. ok i'll check out that sticky thanks
|
i'll look into lowering it first and fixing the airbox setup, ive seen a few green ones, that one i guess is a lambo green but in the thread the pics of it in the paint booth look really really similar.
|
I'd do air box, then lower. But, I prefer a healthy engine
|
|
At the end of the day if you decide you don't like the colour you can just invest another $200 and change it you work in a body shop. I like it it's unique
|
Not bad, even with the stock body it can look pretty good.
Put some Black 18" on it with a polished rim And paint the rearview mirror caps green. Put on the OEM splashguards & the S II small "Lip" Spoiler (Color matched ofcourse) I think it would look pretty sweet |
I painted the mirror caps green, for the spoiler for now i'm not sure if i'm going to do it green or black, i did the lower splash guards black for a lil bit of contrast.
|
Different looking. Slam it with some nice Volks, Axis, Enkei, Advan, Werks....

bumpers on,
|
cleaaaaaarrrr cornnnneeerrrsss :eyetwitch
|
Looks great!
|
Wheels will definitely help the look. Moar low too.
|
yeah i know i need clear corners and rims, i was just more concerned with the body as the clear coat was peeling off from a bad previous paint job.
