Wink 3 black Exotic...

..........well i should rephrase that....dont need to start another forum war... but actually i saw 2 black exotics and one lousey 7.

Heres the story, was driven round town and as im driven i look to my left up ahead and see a nice NEW black lamborghini diablo VT. As i get closer something out the corner of my right eye catches my attention and it was one of the new vipers.

Though i did get some nice pics of the two cars that night none were with the 7 because i would of held up traffic. But it wasnt untill the next night that i spotted the same diablo in a parking garage so thats when i snapped some pics. My bad about it being too dark but the hgiher quality pics are a little easier to make stuff out.

But heres the link:
http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/tri...ed69/my_photos

and heres some pics of my car after a nice wax. gunna be the blacks last as im getting it painted Titanium Silver. Also anyone know some easy fixes for bad leather, cheapest FD leather covers the red is def starting to fade/rip making the car look "ghetto"

hey man thanks alot for that link, never knew about it. $34 bucks dont seem bad and its generally that area that needs the replacing.

lil OT here but has anyone had any luck interchanging the left and the right side seat covers......not the actual seats. Cuz my left is in dear need not really the right. But thanks again man

i think it's always the left side the wears out first since its the side the everyone slides in and out of... the left side of my seat is pretty worn out too and I have only 34k original miles....

Nooo! Don't paint your car silver! I love that color, don't get me wrong, but the black/red combo is so nice. Course, i'm slightly biased :o

damn man very nice car, but the reasons behind painting it is that
1. black is a pain to keep clean.....seriously like 15 mins later theres dust all over

2. my black is really bad and i dont know if i blame mazda or the last owner for allllll the imperfections(swirls/faded panels/chippings in door jams)

3. My friends brother hit me on the passenger door...that happend before the pics were taken and u can see it in some of the pics but mostly its not noticable in the pictures...but it is $600 worth as the metal is all rippled and messed up.

4. and the last reason is that my uncle owns a body shop and to fix the door and front bumper and anything else and to repaint itll be about $3500.

i also have pics of a new titanium spirit R that has the stock red leather seats in it and it looks mean....ill post pics once i find them in my collections but again man if none of the above took place it would DEF stay black and red which was the reason i boguht this car :-)

Hey, the titanium is going to look gorgeous, like I said, I'm just biased since I have a black/red too

It's really going to look good if you keep the red interior too. Make sure you post pics once it's all done.

Oh, and the pics in your last post aren't showing up?

TED! boy you gotta learn to check your PM's once in a while! i pm'd you a looooong time ago, i thought you were out of here.

good to see pics of your FD, glad you finally got one. it's funny that we both had black ones although mine is no longer with me, that's ok, i've got my own plans...

anyway, i'm gonna send you a PM, CHECK IT!

lata man,
Charlie
