Re: Rims! plus a Paintjob!!!

that picture was taken a year ago, when it did look nice (it was kept in a grauge b4 i got it) but now new mexico weather just beat down that already fading paint job, and you dont see the hood in that picture, plus i think black will be a nice color.
i've been at school, my gf had a baby, umm my gf's mom hates me and got a restraining order on me, their making the whole family move tomarrow, ummm lets see, school still sucks.. i've been around

Re: Rims! plus a Paintjob!!!

Oh.. well the only thing about black is what everybody tells you

But its worse.. I mean seriously.. just a spec of anything and its visible on the car.. just letting you know.. so if you're one of those that likes to keep it looking clean (Like me) you're going to be washing it often..

Re: Rims! plus a Paintjob!!!

it's not that bad. the white car is much harder to keep looking clean than the RS ever was.

Re: Rims! plus a Paintjob!!!

Black to me is harder. I have had both and the black always seems to show everything like even a layer of dust.

Re: Rims! plus a Paintjob!!!

And in new mexico your gonna be dieing from heat in your car if its black. 18" will fit fine. the tire size would be like 275-30's and will be the original diameter.

rough times man....

your the sugar in the gas tank guy from a while ago right?

Re: Rims! plus a Paintjob!!!

I think a 17" wheel looks best.

Re: Rims! plus a Paintjob!!!

it will look pretty good.

Something to consider is the fact that the car will lose value when you change the color.

yea black is awsome on third gens. just keep ur a/c cause u will cook in the summer. if u do a color change, everytime u open the doors, hood, or hatch, u will see the original color (unless u are going all out with paint and pulling the engine and what not).
