Car is just beautiful. Very well done! 2nd pic is my favorite by far. As for the rear GFX, I didn't think I need one until I added it. Just sayin.....

 

Not my style personally, but that is still one remarkably clean car! As long as you love her, that's all that matters.

 

Go MRM!!!!!

 

Very fresh!! Is it organic?

 

Looks Clean. Nicely done

 

super clean/classy. and somehow pulling off only 18's really well. nice work!

 

Very simple and clean! Glad to see some more old timers still around ...

 

Kuhlean!!

 

Nice rocketguy.. Where did you get your car repaired by the way? I'm in the dallas area and need some exterior repairs as well.

 

Thanks guys. I'm surprised anyone here remembers me from way back, haha. Barely post here anymore, and most of the people I remember are gone, too.


I forgot to ask, Rash, what did you mean by this? Are you talking about the old pics from Scott Wax's post about my car?


Thanks man. As for the GFX rear, I can barely even notice the difference with most GFX parts I think, because I don't even notice when other IS's have one, but I dunno, maybe I'll keep the idea in the back of my mind.


100%


I got it repaired at Sheer Metal in Plano. They did an OK job. I'd give them 3.5/5 stars. The actual paint work was pretty good, although they didn't match the paint perfectly on my door and did not repaint my driver's side mirror, which made that mis-match apparent in certain lighting. I told them about it, and they gave me the runaround for a while, so finally I said screw it and let it go. I also asked them to replace my headlight HIDs while they were in there since they were going out on me, which they agreed to do, but then when I got the car back, they had not replaced one, and tried to give me some trouble there as well, but I was more insistent on getting that fixed. Finally they did, and it seems to be really fixed this time. There was also a problem with the molding on my driver's side window not being put in place properly. Got them to fix that as well, but we'll see if it lasts. Finally, they never gave me back all the valve stem covers for the wheels they repaired. This I didn't even bother bringing up to them because I know they won't have them anymore, and they're easy enough to replace, but it is still an annoyance worth mentioning.

They were very nice, though, and the overall quality of the work was good. You can do much worse when it comes to body shops.

 

did you notice a big difference in the figs lca bushings? any info would be great.

 

In terms of how the car feels and handles? I can't say I've noticed a major difference (though she performed beautifully at the track, but I don't have a track experience to compare that to from before I got the bushings installed).

However in terms of tire wear, I think the bushings and a toe adjustment have completely solved my uneven wear issues, and that alone makes them absolutely worth the investment for how long I plan to keep this car.

 

nice work!!

 

Great looking car! Only little touch could be painting the calipers. nothing crazy, maybe black/white decals and roll!

 

I agree a GFX rear would compliment the exhaust better
