A beautiful thing :-)
 
Just cleaning the yard and spoted a beautiful thing ... just thought I'd share

A couple shots of the pair in the garage, and then some closeups of the purple paint to give you a better idea of the real color.

that purple fc looks mint !!!

Ryde _Or_Die 11-03-01 02:30 PM

Ya I like the purple. I love those colors that you never see. Mine will be carolina blue eventually. But not till its fast enough to live up to the out-standing color :D

Flobb 11-03-01 03:55 PM

That's purty. And while I'm thinking about it. Have you noticed an increased number of FC's in the area lately? I see them pretty frequently now and it's not the same couple all the time. There's one for sale in o'fallon on my way to work that I've been thinking about stopping an looking at but haven't.

I should have the Fikse FM/10's on it next week :D

is that the corksport bumper or real border? it doesn't look to low, I think the 89-91 chin spoiler would be lower right?

if it's the corksport whats the qual like? can you fit the stock fogs in there? looks like you can.

Node 11-04-01 12:07 AM

theres a black GTU for sale by me. I want it :-D
and yes that purple is gorgeous.

It's the CorkSport nose - quality and fit is very good. It's going back to the body shop soon though to make it fit a little better. Right now it's sitting high because I have my coil-overs turned up. Make it easier to jack it up since I'm still getting underneath it almost every day. When I thread them down it'll be probably 2-3 inches lower than it is now. I don't know about the foglights, but I would assume they'd fit fine ... I yanked my headlights so fogs are the last thing I'm worried about :D

Thanks for the compliment Node

To avoid scratches in the paints exterior [the swirl marks in your purple paint], use a thick, terrycloth towel instead of a sponge or tightly woven material. The sponge and woven material can catch little pieces of dirt and drag it all across your car's finish. The terrycloth towel is thicker and can absorb dirt into the nap of the towel. Then you wont have those nasty looking marks when the sun shines! I did this with my new paint job, and it looks better than some 2002 model cars that have been washed just a couple times poorly... hope that helps for next time~!

Trust me ... there's not any scratches on the car. The paint is absolutely perfect right now. I just haven't used the final swirl remover on the front clip. Fly's can't land on the rear half of the car without sliding.

Both the cars are mine ... the red one is the 90 Vert.

I think you took my definition of "scratches" incorrectly. The swirl marks are clearly visible on your hood, and you can avoid getting those by doing what I mentioned above. Take a closer look at the picture you took -- notice the swirls radiate out concentrically from the light source shining on the hood? You can only see those in certain light, but you could avoid getting them next time!
