I also forgot to mention I swapped my S4 hatch (terminal cancer) with an S5 hatch. It might just be wishful thinking, but the S5 one felt much lighter. Maybe my weight reductions will neutralize the weight of the louvres

Yeap, it's 5A

Thanks for the compliment.

It's the car's second full repaint.

 

Second?

My cars on the original 5A. It's a "bit" faded. I removed a bolt in the engine bay and found a blue about 5 shades deeper.

 

I bought the car from the original owner as 224,XXX

She had it repainted at 160,XXX

The old paint was fine but since I was putting in a new bumper\hood\sunroof I decided to go ahead with another full re-paint.

 

Very, very nice! Clean the louvers, shoot them with some satin black and install them! If you're going for retro...you need the louvers!

 

Those rims are SEX !

Louvres are going back on once the hatch paint dries properly

 

+100 for es100s sucking *** if your car makes any kind of rwhp.. dont use them when they get low on tread they turn into a PVC pipe......

 

pics of the car with the louvers on it.....

 

looks great!

I really like that OEM sticker all the way along the bottom.

 

I cant believe you put the lower door sticker on.......oh well, at least I dont have to look at it every day.
