That's pretty good IMO (taht guy had big reds painted black)!

Knowing you, I'm little disappointed that you had them painted red, although, that is a "mod", so I guess I have to accept that...

My wife is done with the "major mods in life" of raising 3 kids and providing them an education. She has now taken to painting her toenails red. Even though there is no performance improvement. Suits me fine if she is happy. I believe I will call them "little reds". Please excuse the verbosity.

Terry,

LOL!!!

My wife and I are still in "major mod" mode with 4 bambinos ...and next year she wants an in-ground spa! Like you, she's happy and that's the important part. The other cool side of this is that I get to finally start looking for a dedicated track car once she's "done." I hope she isn't going to want more mods after the spa.

I'm a major poser, 944T with red calipers *GASP* haha, yeah i wandered into a different board for once. Anyway, the paint was starting to go on the black's so i thought a change of pace might look nice. Here's a comparison shot:
