Default new paint job!!

tell me what you guys think






Modified by shoebox at 5:22 AM 9/22/2005





and here are some interior shots: (it was blue when I got the car)

I custom made the speaker panels, and took the panels apart and laid the vinyl




Del sol seats. They are really dusty, when they are clean the red on them matches the red on the doors. I haven't cleaned the interior since it was painted. Sanding dust sucks. Also have the EK center console and arm rest. I need carpet. I am thinking black or red, haven't decided yet




Iwould also put up pictures of the engine bay, but you guys don't want to see it right now. It is so dirty

Does the black portion of your hood have a couple dents?

Paint the whole thing white and put the stock sides/rear back on.

its looks like a good start, but the pic makes it looks worse than i think it should. some tinting and black or carbonfiber mirrors would probably help the over all design. also I think the big side skirt is taking away from the unity of the rest of the car. Even though you have a low lip, its not paint matched so the sides look lower than the front, making the car not flow as well as a smaller more simple style of side skirt. some cleaner wheels would help too. I'm not trying to dis it, because I see the potential there to be much better
just want to give you some constructive criticism instead of hatin.

I like the direction your are going in. just needs some tweeking IMO.
