Finally got a decent digital camera for Christmas. I did a quick wash/polish/wax and here's my first go at it.

Someone has an eye! I didn't even notice that but I do now in the image, I guess in person it's harder to tell. I've had "several" accidents...

looks good and obviously that was taken close to your house cuz there are no dirtiness on the car. i kinda like the look of the front bumper. where did you get the lip extenders? and yes your car does look kinda cool with the black wheels.

Got the front flaps from EST.
And yes it's around the corner from my home, less then minute drive but it took long to get there this time...

I'm sure it's not nearly as noticable in person

I'm loving the dark caps and heico flaps/grille, lookin good for winter mode

mikie..

you're color code 426 right.. or 427?

how the hell did they match the paint so poorly?




cause honestly, it looks like your car is 426, and your hood/fender is 427.

[Jaxx]

yeah, hes prolly 426, but what did 427 come on?

edit: i could only find 426 in the 1999 models.

I guess I will be showing this side off from now on
I can't remeber my color code...but the front bumper came painted from the dealer, the front fenders and the hood was re-painted by Honda (Volvo body shop here in Montreal) and the passenger side doors and rear fender was re-painted by another paint shop. In other words lot's of comfussion.

[the underlørd]

lol. when i painted my eyebrows on the S70, i used VW Silver! it matched 426 perfectly !
