Johnny I am so shocked at the low number of votes you have received so far. Your car is beautiful in all departments bro. I had that as my wallpaper for months back in 2006. All you need are dr750's to complete the build. 15g's are under done on your car! Keep her clean.
well i'm not trying to piss on anyone's cheerios; i just wanted to point out that "he who has the most mods" doesn't always win. yes, i have a fair amount of coin in my car, even though it is--essentially--a stock atx vr4 with some additional modifications. it's both amusing and frightening that my car is worth currently worth 4x what it would be if it was stock. i hope that i don't piss myself after it's done with the new build; and it ends up being worth 10x what the stocker is.
to any and ALL who aren't "in the running"; don't sweat it too much. there's a LOT of cars up this month and several really good entries. my car lost in a month with 1/3rd as many contestants, and i still got last-place; finishing behind an UNFINISHED n/a. so yes, i share your pains--but don't let it keep you down.
I here ya, my car was bone stock when I bought her. Here is my car after owning her for 3 months and moded to bpu.Quote:

is it wrong of me to say i liked your stock hood better?
Not at all. If well all had the same tast cotm would be boring. In fact I still have it. But now I would look odd to me with the current scheme. Not to mention the weight difference.Quote:

i like the idea behind your paint, i just think i would have done it slightly different. i would have painted the center of the bumper (and the post) black & done a solid, massive black stripe all the way down the center of the car. it would line up with the edges of the center opening on the front, the ridges on the hood, the edges of the sunroof, and the hatch. i don't think i've ever seen anyone paint one that way--but i think it would look pretty spiffy.
That last pic is one of those magic shots that you can't ever replicate no matter how hard you try. The shadows from an early sun set gave it a blue shadow. The angle make the car look super wide, and with nothing else in the background to distract your eyes makes it perfect. One of the best photos I have ever taken of her. Inperfectdarkness I don't know if you notice but the stock 97 bumper isn't on my car anymore. Sometimes I do miss her stock body.
yeah...it just doesn't look the same. that's what i love about sin's car (and why i did the same with mine). run 99 lights on a 97 bumper. the only downside to this is the fugly rubber that goes on the bumper. i'm working on that one though. ;)
I'm gonna go against the grain here and vote for the best looking car. Someone has to carry the torch for the show car fans.
who did you pick then?Quote:
