WTF Kinda statement is that anyway? LOL
Anyway, My observations, the bumper is ugly with a capitol U(my opinion) and that is alot of body kit for stock wheels. I hope you have an engine bay to back up all that cash tied to the outside of that car.. Enjoy.
Which is it anyway , 2 fast or 2 furious..

i really doubt that this character have seen a weathered IBM. the color was introduced only 4 years ago......... and you're from canada, unless you have seen a bunch of 10th anniversary miata's i dont think you have seen enough IBM to make that assumption

And to anyone who thinks his car sucks, great then keep your taste to yourself because obviously if you are that bitter and cruel then you suck yourself. Some people on this forum are great guys but its getting to the point where they are so few and far between its hard to weed them out from the asses. So either take your bad comments, young know it all attitude or your screw the world midlife crisis attitudes and shove them, people dont always need to have their car treaded on especially when they are proud of it. So back off, and get a life

Like whoa Batman...
Get rid of the Veilside stuff and the RB wing, with the money you blew on that and the paint job, you could have gotten the 99 spec stuff with the RZ rims and saved money on everything including the paint job with the 99 spec kit because there would be less to paint.
Okay, maybe that was a long commaless (not a real word) sentence but it gets my point across. BTW, the paint is simply stunning, I love it, but it's on the wrong body kit.
Please don't get 19 inch rims as that would make things worse, get 18's and have them wider then stock so that they can back up the freakshow of a body kit.
For all of you Scoot Hood fans, it's ricey, get over it.
The East Bear lights own j00, great job on those as well.
Last but certainly NOT least, this is all MY OPINION.
Good luck with the car.

Thanks Joe for backing me up!! People on this forum are pretty rude... neevosh..., but yea, I guess I did ask for an opinion. I plan on getting some 18's sometime soon. As far as engine mods go, I have pretty many, just short of a single turbo. (Large street port, Hks DP, Pettit MP, Apexi cat back, Pettit AST, block off plate set, 255 lph fuel pump, 1600cc injectors, apexi dual intake, apexi PFC, Greddy FMIC, Blitz BOV, Greddy elbow, ACT clutch) Thats all I can think of right now, but there are probably more.
I had the work done at Jeff Chritchlow Auto body here in Pittsburgh, PA. I'm not sure of the paint code, but the color is Chrysler Electic blue. Its a new color for the 2003 turbo PT Cruisers. They did a good overall job, but they didn't put any of my trim or lights back in and gave me it all in a bucket
. I don't want to bash them, but they forgot to install the hood pins and fill the rear window sprayer, so there is a hole in the top of my hatch right now. I'm going to take it back down pretty soon because they also scratched the front of the driver's sideskirt when I had it towed back home.

yeah the world would be a fucked up palce without opinions but if you dont like something you can be nice about it and make suggestions not "nice fmic but too bad its behind that hideous bumper", there is a difference being constructive and being an *******. Like take a look srce reply, thats constructive, maybe a little direct on some parts but thats his choice, I never said opinions are bad just ******* who give them the wrong way.
