Default Fun with mods my new look before and after

I decided to make use of the nicer weather and personalize my car. Here are some pics. Hope you enjoy.

Here is how she looked when I picker her up.



Here is how she looks now.




I hope to have a few more goodies installed before Hershey on the 24th.

Nice! Which wheels are those?Reps? Car looks night and day better! I usually don't like white, but that really works!

Thanks! They are Veloce 3.6 reps. I originally bought them in silver ( see avatar ) but decided I wanted to go black. Painted the wheels and the headlight rings and later this week I am going to touch up the lower rocker panels.

I want to do those same wheels on my red car, or the Keskins, can't afford the real ones. Got me thinking about the headlight surrounds, maybe I'll consider that as well as one has a dent in it that needs repaired and painted anyhow...

I am happy with them. I originally was going to buy a set of original speedlines but since the reps way the same I decided to keep the money and use it towards KWv3 coilovers ( on the way ) and other suspension mods. I think the black headlight surrounds and black centered wheels would look great on a red car.

White seems to always seems to look better in person than in photos. Grand Prix White with the black wheels looks stunning IMHO. A classic look.

Now you need to update your avatar! The black decal pulls it all together. I wonder what blacked mirrors would look like?

I agree white really pops in person especially when it's freshly detailed.

I did a photoshop with black aero mirrors and I really liked them. Was about to buy a set today but had a emergency vet bill for my cat...I still may grab a pair before Hershey. FYI I used a satin black instead of gloss as it looks more OEM.

Hi..the car looks great!

Did you paint the wheels? Was it a Porsche color or something else?
