Finally got my '99 G20t last night. I've been waiting for the car to be delivered from Portland for the last two weeks. Unfortunately, two days ago someone did a hit and run in a parking lot. Now my left quarter panel has a smeared white dent where it should be shiny and black. :( My SO's brother used to be a body man, so i'm hoping he'll be able to help me out. He can probably do most of the dent/fill work but i'm going to have to pay to have it repainted. ugh. Nothing like a nice, big dent to ruin your day. On the bright side, those heated seats came in real handy this morning at 5:30. Brrrrr!

Ahh that sucks :) ..
I think it's time to get some type of electric wire around our cars .. so if someone comes too close, it shocks them :)

I want to see some pictures of your Red G :).
White rims get dirty a lot - so you gotta clean them (downfall). And plus, I think I've seen maybe 4 other cars with the Motegi's! GRRRRR... might have to switch to some Racing Harts next year :).
I'm going to take some more pictures of my ride in the Spring time when I have most of my mods completed, such as suspension and exhaust..
I started on the cosmetics first .. now I'm on handling .. soon some engine stuff :) - I noticed you took a different approach (most do).
If you can get some pictures up, that would be cool
:flash:

Yeah, right now the look is pretty much stock, so Im going to wait till I get the lip and spoiler modded and installed before I take some decent photos.
I figure I would work on some of the engine stuff first and then the exterior, I didnt want to have it look fast and not be fast...hahah...although I get pretty bummed when I see eone elses ride and they look pimp!
As for whats next, Ive got material on order to make a new MAF bracket, going a full 3" from the JWT POP to the HS CAI and not be restricted by the stock MAF mount (material due in the end of the month). Once I get that done, Ill install the HS CAI. Im currently sanding the snot out of it, too many mandrel bend marks on it for my taste. After that, the header, exhaust, S3 cams, and Im waiting till I have to replace the tires to get rims...looking at the C2's, but they are $$$, oh yeah maybe some Teins from Luke... Thats about it till I decided to put a turbo in and the CF hood.
