My little beasts (56k warning)

I figured it was about time I posted some pictures of my newly aquired FD along with the one I've had for 3 years now. Feel free to compliment or flame.

Both are Tourings, the older one having a R1 lip currently. I'd eventually like to get something with a Cummins to have as a tow truck.

Well, both are MB but the CF hood is made by Karbonlite. I have yet to find any info about obtaining these hoods.

If I had the money I'd have 3... A daily driver (possibly auto) with only reliability mods, a track and autox only car with all the power and suspension mods and a show queen with all the visual/audio mods...

Right now I only have one so I try to keep her pretty for show, fast for the track and reliable for driving around town

great looking cars!

I didn't even notice that till you pointed it out. Yes, I agree. Please take those off. And I agree with the comment above. Not digging the rims on the modded FD.

Nice FD's an nice pics man. The one with the lip looks a bit 4x4ish to me, but they both look great otherwise. The 5th pic is my favorite. You lucky bastard.

They could have very well sent a silver R1 to Europe. They didn't send any silver R1s here, but they did send silver R2s. So really it's just a technicality...
