Looking good Carsey! When you say paint, changing the color too?

If you're keeping the purple stuff then I'd say go for another light colour like white, yellow, orange, maybe charcoal/gunmetal grey etc. or you can go full disco and go for glittery purple

like was said the silver looks damn good with your scheme.... kind of hard to figure out what else would look good on there. personally i'd go with a white pearl... but then again you said simple ahhahaha! only other thing i really think would pop would be the lexus's glacier frost mica that they put on the new is250/350's... it's a silver with some pearl i think. almost goes from white/silver/some other odd shades all in one.

Well i haven't decided on a color yet. I had side skirts, they where FEED. I loved them but, I got really bored looking at them. As of now i'm leaning towards white........ Flat or satin white kinda like an egg shell haha. however my favorite color for the FD is CYM yellow or SSM so we will see what happens when the time comes to paint.
yes i had side skirts on the car i sold them a while back i have been waiting on Aero to come from japan since black Friday and should be in on Monday !!!!!

here's one with the side skirts on.

imho.. and not to sound contemptuous but was never keen on folks repainting their fd cym unless it was a true cym..
.. and considerin the bold contrast with purple.. id keep her ssm.. if you must go a different route.. do titanium grey..

Personally I'm not a huge fan of flat or eggshell white, I'd rather see a glossy pearl white like what the RX8 came with or the RZ FD's in Japan. But here is a pic of a satin white Gallardo I saw a year or so ago for reference:

montego...
I wanted to get the full burnout kit but ended up putting the car in the body shop last week. Maybe next winter I want to break it down and clean everything up under the hood. So i might finish the kit then. I will also have the lens put back on the head lights when it gets back from the body shop.

Whats wrong with the stickers?

The car has a rotary engine so the nopiston sticker makes sense and banzai racing is a cool rotary shop.

I understand you have a piston in your FD but its not like it doesn't make sense for him to have those stickers.

It takes away from a car... even one as nicely set up as his.

Thanks man. That's actually the car about 1.5 years ago, its down to the bare shell now, so I can't check the height. :/

Tein Flex Coilovers and Toyo Proxes R888 to fill the rest of the wheel well in. The side wall on those tires were insane. 17" wheels.

My new setup is going to run 19's in the rear and 18's in the front for a nice mean looking staggered setup.
