Alright, my car's getting repainted.. S2k monte carlo blue (JDM only color, S2k owners will hate me

)..

all this goes on this week:

s2000 monte carlo blue
switching my shogun kit for my incoming vis invader type 4
vis invader CF vented hood
18" black opal konig verdicts
exhaust
coilovers

^new parts or parts being replaced

now..

Do i get a black aluminum spoiler (V racing w/adjuster bars on trunk, VERY low hanging)

or run with no spoiler?

I may also order the 3pc wings west spoiler..but that'll take awhile to get, ugh.

damn that is kinda sexy..

Well if the stands aren't too high on the APR wing..go for it. I think they look good when they are on a car with an aggressive bodykit...otherwise...icky

Your OEM still looks good

Hazard666 · 05-21-2002, 01:25 PM

yeah what he said...i'm not feelin the aluminum wing...when i see a car with an aluminum wing, i want to rub it's hood and tell it it'll be ok...just my opinion though

PreludeNYC · 05-21-2002, 01:35 PM

OEM would look the best, but with some bodykits those APR wings look dope, do you have a pic of the body kit...?

THESE LOOK GOOD IMHO.

i think the aluminum spoilers detract from the car's line as well as looking a bit stupid. i would try to find something that will blend in with the body kit and flow well with the car's shape.

Just a quick question for ya ... if your car looks as good as it does in the picture you attached, why in the world are you repainting it? Got a lot of extra dough floating around?

Is your car all chipped up, or something? IMO, I'd leave it the way it is ... it looks GREAT!

honestly, its chipped to hell, 2 people have backed into me, and I really want to change to an aggresive look that isnt common at all..
I was getting S2k titanium silver until 3 guys out here completely copied me (were at the shop and i showed them paint, next week..guess what?)

I need a change, i figure completely tossing things up is better than selling the car, which was my other idea..

i just dyed my hair from blonde to jeeet black

change rox!

thanks for the good words too, most people just ask why its chameleon..etc..

i forgot to mention, no more alcheezas

Your vavle cover looks sweet! How much was it to get your car sprayed that color in the first place?

SiR-P12eLude · 05-21-2002, 03:51 PM

soopazwose... all i got to say is SWEET!

That's very nice and clean look love that color

Don't kill it by gettin an aluminum wing though alright... and please take those wack ass euro and put the stock ones back on with clear signals on.

SiR-P12eLude · 05-21-2002, 03:54 PM

And one more thing... if you didn't notice your bumper lights aren't the same....

soopaswoze! · 05-21-2002, 03:56 PM

Thanks.. it wont be that color after tonight.. I'm peeling off strips of paint to make **** out of though.. lol.. bored.

Car was sponsored by PPG paints, the paint is PPG Harlequinn Cyan to Purple, its one step below the ultrarare and impossible to get (if you dont drive a saleen, patented TO saleen) Saleen Mystic. I have NO idea what the Mystic goes for, I figure a good $8-12k++, PPG harlequinn runs $500/pint and about 6000-8000 for a small-large car

Car's being painted S2k blue, since everyone thinks its that nasty baby blue color (suzuka blue), its not. Here's a picture of monte carlo blue - S2k and NSX in japan, ONLY NSX here in US

soopaswoze! · 05-21-2002, 03:57 PM

Oh, my alcheezas are gone too now, thanks. If I had to balls to do stuff like clear my turn signals i'd do it.. but i dont

SiR-P12eLude · 05-21-2002, 04:00 PM

That S200 is nice... i would trade my left nut for that!
