that car is begging for some mods. Do it! Do it!, You're gonna Do it! j/k I would swap the rear lights, fronts for litronics, and side markers for the clear and remove all of the 99 funky gray interior pieces and replace them with 00 up black, or better yet, replace them with body painted pieces, which also must be an underlying 00 because the 99 has a bumpy texture. I have all 00 black glossy pieces, save for a few carbon bits and artic silver and love it. I really really hated that funky gray though.
Then again you can ear-mark that money for gas.

#1 thing however before cosmetics is to get a nice alignment like -1f -1.6-8r. you will like it much much better.

SPR, -1f, -1.6-8R what? toe? camber? sorry i am not that brite (ha ha bright) with shorthand.

Mike C4S, I went to the USER CP at the top of the page and clicked on edit avatar. It was pretty straight forward. I had the pictures saved on my 3.5" disk. But they were all too large. so I picked one of my pictures, right clicked and selected edit. in the edit box I went to image and selected attributes and changed the size of the picture to 180 X 180 pixels. then i saved the image again with a new file name. Then in the edit avatar window i clicked on browse and chose the picture I just edited and it worked. Took me a couple of tries back and forth but it was worth it. I want to know how others have such large pics. I would rather see a nice large pic of the car than squint at a small one.

Thanx for the compliment on the color combo. It is a royal bitch to keep the inside clean though. It seems like whatever I use, causes the color to come off of the steering wheel and shifter. (they are the same beige color as the rest of the interior).

I am seriously contemplating selling it and getting an easier color to maintain. (the car is my daily driver and I pick up both my kids (3 and 4 yrs old) every day. Kids = dirt = cleaning constantly. But ohhh when it is washed and cleaned.

the color is arena red. you know the word arena is from the italian from aren, which actually means blood. In fact thats how we say blood in Armenian. we say Aroun. So the real color of the car translated literally in english is Blood Red!! Sorry just had to share that.

Default I know what you mean - avatar

After 2.5 years of owning my '99 C4 cab, I finally got around to putting my avatar on also.

I understand the joy!

Cheers
