Man that looks excellent! I guess I need to make a trip to Columbia and see it in person.

TDavis · 06-15-2014, 10:32 PM

Definitely. Even with how photogenic it is now the photos still don't make it look as nice as it is in person.

sleepyalero · 06-15-2014, 10:41 PM

I guess im crazy.

[ChaosweaveR] · 06-15-2014, 10:49 PM

I said the same thing after my GAGT. That's why my Honda is silver.

tipnitty · 06-16-2014, 07:56 AM

sleepyalero · 06-16-2014, 10:31 AM

nope not me. i'm never touching another black car or dark colored car ever again.. going light on the color of my next subaru if i can find a decent one when the time is right.

TDavis · 06-16-2014, 01:37 PM

Deciding I might just paint the molding on the kit black so match out, since I have the molding pieces for the bumpers anyway. Then later on down the road probably repaint the door cladding, can't notice the paint vs paint on the two until you really stare at it but it wouldn't hurt to paint it anyway.

Also thinking of maybe getting the SC/T badges from GrafxWerks instead of using the ones I have. The ones I have look really awkward since they're small.

Here's the GrafxWerks badge

Here's the one I have.

sleepyalero · 06-16-2014, 02:06 PM

the only thing I really like better over the grafixwerkz or whatever badge, is that theres is a sticker, and yours is an actual badge. which makes for easier removal and what not, im just not a fan of stickers on paint. that's all.

xUnderCoverHoBo · 06-16-2014, 02:29 PM

I like grafxwerks i had a gt badge for my ga and liked it a lot

yep. the black gto would be dusty enough to write on after a 10 mile drive on paved roads. i swore i'd never get another black car again. So what did i do? put black wheels on my g8

. brake dust like a smbtch.

nothing wrong with white, it can be sporty. red is my 2nd fave.

ItsMeScottG · 06-16-2014, 07:11 PM

I'm actually really enjoying my e46, I love the gray color.

mfuller · 06-16-2014, 08:23 PM

It's been a while since I posted any updates, so I figured what the hell.
At least the motor and trans are back between the fenders.

I really should get the rear trailing arms boxed and re-finished.
Probably wouldn't hurt to re-finish the front subframe too.
Oh, well. Too many projects, too little time.

sleepyalero · 06-16-2014, 08:47 PM

Seems to be coming along... aftermarket cooling fans?

Yes. Spal fans for the aluminum radiator.
