Birthday cruise pictures!

Today is my 22nd birthday and I yet again went on a cruise and hiked all day just chilling and enjoying the nice weather. I drove the same route as my 21st birthday except this time no snow. lol. But the car felt great w/ the new wheels and rubber on it. I have my car slammed and surprisingly it didn't become an issue w/ the front lip rubbing or anything. I don't think it scraped one time.

Anywho, more pictures to come but I'm pretty tired. Comments and critiques welcome.

1. @ Whiteside Mountain. All the peaks and mountain tops are in the other direction to my back when I was taking the picture.

2. different angle...



3. @ Bridal Veil falls



4. On old Hwy 64 towards Franklin, NC... One of my favorite cruises. Smooth and fast, banked turns and chicanes, technical sections and fantastic views. Very fast and smooth road running along the river in some sections and the car loves the cool mist constantly coming up and over the road.



5. Old Hwy 64 before the Cullasaja River Gorge



6. Hiking @ Dry Falls. First time I've ever been here. It was amazing!!!



7. Dry Falls

8. Pulling off before getting into the tighter sections of the Cullasaja River Gorge. Nice place for pictures!



1 year ago:



I didn't take any pictures of the roads this time as much as I used to. But here is the section right after the last pictures... the Cullasaja River Gorge. Very fast and fun. Awesome views as well!









and in summer time on Old Hwy 64.





Thanks for looking!

Pics look great man. Your lucky to have mountains like that.
Your car a year ago almost looks like mine now haha.




Quick request, I have an S4 and want to cut the stock bumper to fit my front mount. What brand is that intercooler, and can ya post up close shots of the bumper?
especially where the purple is.

Thanks for the compliments! Hypertek I've thought about it but it's 22 year old paint and then were talking about what it looks like underneath the pin striping... EEK! haha. I don't even know if it'll be bad but I'm still timid about it.

No problem man, a little rubbing compound then some 3m hand glaze and you wouldn't even be able to tell there was any pin stripping.

I think the pin stripping and the TII decal should go. I would look VERY VERY clean. The car does look GOOD right now too though man. U decide.


What I would sport


I cant get over how good your wheels look man.!!!

I am thinking of going the "equip way" but in graphite (not trying to thread jack, sorry)

yumm. you never see T2s with the Turbo badge or pinstriping left anymore most have had to get a new paintjob by now.

if you do get rid of the pinstripe before you do could you get several realy good pictures of it so i can have it done on my car when i get it repainted?.... please

Thanks Hypertek! Holy **** that looks amazing w/o the pin striping! I think I'm going to go out on a limb and go ahead and remove it. I don't think it'll be bad tanned or anything. The car stayed in a garage for it's entire life until I got it 2 years ago. It was only driven on weekends and not left outside much. So yeah, I'm going to remove it now. I kept telling myself I liked it but that looks so much better!

On the markers tho... I like contrast and original colors. No smoked lenses or anything clear, reminds me of those altezza remake lights. lol.

Sean... no sweat bro. You can buy me a beer when I actually visit Montana if I ever do. I want to from what I hear about it. I really and have always wanted to travel out there and explore, ski, take pictures and such. So nice from what I see. lol.
