Thanks, I appreciate it. Especially coming from an FD owner FCs dont quite have the "pop" that the FD has, but with a few choice mods can look pretty damn mean. Especially when they have 400RWHP Heres a few mods pics , just because I like to show it off




Engine bay shots will commence once everything is back from powdercoat/ ceramic coating.

Sorry.. [/hijack]

RXmfn7,

how did you get your carpet so black?

I thought all T2s either had grey or red carpets, am I wrong? Im almost positive black was not an interior option. Did you dye your carpets? That looks really really good

Black was an interior option. All S5s ( 89-91 ) had the option of black. The only S4 FC that had black interior was the 10th Anniversary ( 88 ). My original interior color was grey, I replaced it with a factory black interior from an extrememly low milage 89 GTU that I parted out.

Thanks, but I can't take credit for it. My buddy Scott is studying photography at the art school here in SF, and he is totally in love with the FD. He went through a day following me around and taking the pix...you can see some of his work here:

Ignore the shots with me in them. Hahahha...
