Sweet car man, congrats! I really want a car with that smooth turbo nose... Also, thats a cool shade of green, like army-style.

Could it be that it is originally from Michigan with a stop in Charlotte?

(Ian, you have a PM.)

Congratulations, Bloodraven! It looks great, and I especially like your sudsy shot. It looks very artistic!

That car would look very cool if you painted the splitter to match the body, and did the phonies in white.

I love the colour. Get some tyre shine on there asap, though!

I wonder what it would look like with an AIR splitter.

Yeah, the costs of the old one were racking up...this one...So far, nothing major, and I see only scheduled maintanence and the odd stuff getting me....not PO negligence...

And tifo...I plan on painting the splitter, but it won't be till I get the cash to do the whole car...its got lots of rock chips and a couple small rust spots...

Well congrats on the new one! I'm really stoked to get one now!

Us Raven's need fast cars and stuff!

So far on my 924S, I've had to put a master/slave setup on (it was cold and rainy so I paid to
have it done), and I replaced the bent phone dials with a full set of 968 weels and rubber.

I can't complain!

Good luck with the new turbo!
Love the color!

The paint looks good to me, you can't paint it until your entire rocker pannel is down to primer.
