It has a three stage paint job with PPG bright red and House of Kolors red ice pearl. The wheels are painted to match.

I put a carbon fiber trunk lid on it 2 days ago so the wing is gone. lol
Part of a tree fell on the car a few weeks ago and done about 2000.00 in damag. So we are about to do a complete redo. Here is a pic of some of the damage.

Sorry. Got a little crazy with the pics.
The seats are done in gray ostridge and red. The hood is a JSP CF hood that the paint fades to translucent on. I didn't post a good pic of the paint on the hood.

dang that sucks pretty bad. is there anyway insurance can cover it or is it an out-of-pocket fix? i love how the car looks, but i hate sony audio, so personally thatd be basically the only thing id change. good job w/ it though
and wtf, was it on gagt.com that you posted your car, b/c i know i have seen like 80% of these pics before, but hey its all good, just wracking my brain haha
ramair4thesoul
06-05-2008, 12:10 AM
Yea insurance is covering most of it. There are dents all down the side of the car and on the roof so I'm going to shave the door handles and do some other stuff to it while it is in the shop.
lol. The only reason I used Sony is because the red matched. That sub has never even been turned up. I don't drive the car everday anymore so I don't care what it sounds like, but it looks good. lol

Damn girl its hard to fess up and say your car looks 1000 times better than mine, the only thing i see that in my opinion you should get is head rest, seats look weird to me.

First off, welcome, and nicely done
Thanks. I liked the wing too. I just don't think fiberglass wings look good on carbon fiber and I can't find a carbon fiber wing I like.
I'm 99% sure they make a wing similar to that in CF. Or, you can strip the paint off and have a layer of CF on it, then do the translucent paint like the hood...

Nah that looks sexy like that, if I ever get Katzkin covers I'm having mine shaved too.

Definitely not a huge fan of the kit, most of those 'speed holes' need to be filled for it to look good IMO.

06-05-2008, 03:09 PM
Thanks guys.
I don't have the back bumper from the AAS kit. It sticks out way to far on the sides.
It sould take so much time and money to change the car to the SCT style, I just don't think it is worth it. I have thought about buying a black 2 dr and put the SCT kit on it.
I should have posted a pic of the engine ,but I can't seem to find a good one. The intake manifold and valve covers have been polished. the 3400 was shaved off of the manifold when it was polished. I have a cold air intake, 65mm throttle body, tuned pcm, and...I can't remember anything else right now. However, I just ordered headers and I will be getting new heads, injectors, cam and a few other goodies in the next month or so.

It's easy to drive without them. I'm a big fan of mini trucks and several of the mini truck guys use GA seats and shave the headrests. I hate the stupid holes in the headrests from factory. Anyway, I figured if it would look good in a truck why not in the original car. I love it and have gotten lots of positive comments about them at the shows. I like the "clean" interior look instead of tvs, racing seats, and crazy stuff like that.

Not feeling the rims, the wing is a bit big for my taste, but doesn't look too bad with the kit. Love the paint.

You're going to paint the trunk, right? Having the whole car red with a carbon-fiber trunk will look so akward.

Since there is damage on the car and we are shaving the door handles we have decided to change the entire paint job on the car. So, yes it will have some kind of paint on it, but right now I couldn't tell you exactly what it is going to look like.

06-05-2008, 05:11 PM
You do know SE headrests do not have the holes in them. I think it would look a lot better with nice wrapped headrests to match. No headrests are more of a muscle car look.

06-06-2008, 12:07 PM
pretty decent I say, not exactly my cup of tea but I admire the work done to the appearance of this car, unique but not completely apart from others
I agree about those seats, looks a little strange, so either slap a 450 under the hood or something lmao

In North Carolina, tre-fo (34) is slang for Winston-Salem, which has the third biggest crime rate in the 4th largest city. Ironically, its also the first two digits of Winston-Salem inmate numbers

OC Wardlow : The tre-fo bitch, where the **** else?!?

I admire all the hard work done to the car, but there is too much red going on for me (I know your repainting it so). The wing is far from my favorite (I know its off the car) And the front bumper looks goofy with all the holes still there. Overall the car is nice and sucks about the tree falling on the car.
