Here's a few pictures of a tame all black car at dusk...

Don't take this the wrong way because the car looks awesome.

But knowing how it looked before, it now looks like any other 964 out there. I really loved the Orange/Black combination you had before.

Now, with that off my chest... those wheels are frigging awesome! and that interior means business.

I hear ya Jaime - it did look different and cool, but I grew tired of the orange. After a while I was craving some subtlety.

And I don't think that now it looks quite like any other 964

I like it better now Ilko, it looks awesome! . I would think maybe paint the rollcage red or something just for some nice contrast (while still keeping it clean and stealthy looking)!

I know, I know. Did not mean it like that. The headlights lense, wheels, interior details you have done to it, etc. Of course it does not look like any other 964.

is it just me, but I think those wheels don't look that great. I think a nice set of D90's would be the ticket.

I would be happy to find you a set and take those hideous things off your hands.


Looks great Ilko.

I think you did the right thing Ilko. It looked good before, but I think it looks even better now.

Made my lunch break visit all the better!

Enjoy.

Ilko,

It looks fantastic! Or, should I say, she still looks fantastic.
And, knowing what a beast she is under the engine cover doesn't hurt either!

Which gauges did you place in the radio blank out?

We've still got to find some time to swap cars . . . I'd like your opinion on my suspension . . . and I know you're just itching for my opinion on your super charger!! ;-)

Some folks get more 'respectable' (I think Twain would say) with a kid on the way.
Not all...


But some.

Orange, black -- the car still remains cooly, cool.

Looks great. Dare I say... more "mature" ??
I liked the "individuality" of the orange highlights, but like the subtleness of the new facade. I especially like the silver lips on the wheels.

Your starting to sound like an old married man with children. Practicing??

No seriously the orange was cool but that looks fantastic. Who makes the wheels?
