im not one to make polls on things like this but im really confused and keep going back and forth in my mind as far as what to do.

1. should i paint my moldings, side skirts, itR lip and front bumper (it's bojangled ) outcome: a much cleaner looking car.

or

2. should i get a seat -- outcome: no more getting tossed around through the turns

here's a pic of the car w/out the lip


here's where my dilema starts. if i decide to paint i'll roll around the streets w/ missing body parts and who knows how long the bodyshop will take (i hate bodyshops). now the downside to the seat will be that i'll be only be able to afford one for right now. so what would some of you do if you were in my shoes?!

 

seat. Function over Fashion. Always.

 

agreed. Seat first, paint later. :D

dude, I know how it is. That fashion/asthetic **** is for the ******* birds. I never spent any money except for my wheels (which are sorta functional) on asthetics. Leave that **** for the people who dont want to go fast.

If you want to paint your molding get some OEM paint from http://www.paintscratch.com and rattle can it. It'll look just the same.

 

I voted for the seat because I still want a seat. Always buying something that isn't a seat and it makes me want it even more. Sure you could go for a while without the seat, and just paint your car. Heck I might even do that over the seat. I like my car looking clean. I'm sure you will enjoy either one, whatever you decide.

And painting a car doesn't make it faster, nor does it make it slower. The only waste of money is the money you didn't spend on your car. To each their own. Just because paint doesn't increase performance it doesn't mean that some people don't like a good looking car.

 

PAINT IT! And buy mountain climbing harnesses! (j/k)

 

Rattle can and get the seat. The parts are all small enough to where you can pretty much make it look like a profession paint job. It's not like you're painting a whole body panel so it'll be all good.

 

Paint dat !sh y0!!
(that's slang for paint your moldings )

 

i've considered the can but im afraid of it flaking. and i don't want to put spray paint on the lip it's OEM, and the bitch of it all is the bumper looks like **** so the lip is not going to match since it will be so clean. So i have to paint everything. i guess im just **** and like to do something right the 1st time and not half ***.

 

i would get the seat and primer the whole car. Your gonna get it painted eventually and the parts are more likely to match if you have it all painted from the same batch of paint

 

get a seat

 

Buckets are annoying as ****. And highly bolstered ones dont keep you too much more plated. I say neither. Go performance.
gmoore

 

i agree with tegunderpressure...very good point.....

I would go with the seat, your car looks clean as is.

Rice is Nice, but when It actually DOES something for you... it out weighs all

 

put on a seatbelt on trns and paint your ****

 

seat

 

what brand seat is it anyways? and how much are you spending?

 

do you really toss around in the stock seats? they are actually quite comfy and snug... but no where near those racing seats... but racing seats arent all that comfortable on long drives.

 

Teknic73,

your car looks good man.. Get your wheels powder coated gunmetal or black to match the trim that would look nice man... PS get the seat man.

 

Get the seat...if you get a carbon fiber hood in the future it will match with your white/black color scheme
