Default considering....



i know its not a GS but the color is soo staggering!

options:
1- save your money for a clean gte setup (my original plan) and plus my engine warranty will be over soon haha

2- get a body kit...junction produce is my favorite kit...however being that i have a gs3...there is no choice for me...i need to go FI...and there is no intercooler cutout on the JP kit...

3- go for it! paint it interlagos blue!

reasons:
- i like this color...i love spectra blue as well but when i went car shopping in 03...never had spectra blue as a option....and i wanted to get a new car lol. and from what i know...even with got a used spectra blue...most all come with tan interior or grey interior i believe?

- i can take out all the rockchips and imperfections in the car (and after its done...I am planning to order a clear bra kit). i am very picky with this lol

- 2 goodies (one of them is blue! haha)...well see when they come in! haha

-cost: i was expected around 8k but he told me 5-6k (my painter) for a new paint job...inside and out.

- you rarely see GSs with a tasteful custom paint job.

If you plan on painting your car this color, what wheels, drop, and mods do you plan on doing to the car? It will give us visual image in our minds of the final product.

this gorgeous color would absolutely transform your ride into something that feels new. Alot of "satisfaction mileage" can be had from this. The GTE setup can always wait.

Get rid of the GS, then buy that M. I do see an intercooler on that car and that is very unique. You don't see many M's with an intercooler. Then you can sell the JP kit to me and I'll cut it up to fit my intercooler behind the front bumper. lol

Man two other people beat me to it. I know that M3 is here in FL but the M3 is just a great car. If you go FI then dont do the JP kit. I would get a Wise like bluelex or something. Not sure that spending the money to repaint the car would be the best thing. Your color is great already, just use that money towards FI and a kit.
