Ok Mike first off don't listen to these yahoos who say body line up. Body line does not look clean, it looks rather un-classy. Your car looks AMAZING with just the top up. I saw that first pic and thought that looks insanely sweet. You need to do it, like NOW. That would be one of the sweetest looking SNs I have seen after thats painted. DO IT!!!

Yeah, the first pic with the black headlights pretty much sold me on it. The question now is what color do I want? The color I originally posted is lighter than the photoshops. It's more of a dark gray/silver, kinda like DSG but a little darker. I'm wondering if it would look better with a darker color....

Here's a couple more pics of it on different parts of the car. I'll just post the links to the full size images so you can get a better idea of what it looks like.

I vote for roof only. Looks killer. I think whenever my car gets painted, it's going red (or burnt orange, ala Saleen S7) with black roof.

Haha, yeah I'm definitely doing this. I showed my parents the photochop and they HATED it.

Another idea I've been kicking around....Instead of painting it I might just get some vinyl wrap so I can go back to red if I don't like it.

i also prefer the roof-only look more than the body-line look.

but your car is awesome as it is and nothing is necessary to make it stand out.

did you get your drivability and exhaust issues worked out?

No, that's one of my projects for this winter. I'm hoping to buy coil-overs to raise the front up, have my headers fixed where they're flattened out and have them ceramic coated, possibly Abaco MAF, and a retune. That was my plan last winter, but I had just bought a house and wasn't sure how my finances would work out. I got a nice raise over the summer so I should be able to afford this stuff now. Of course I've also found a new hobby - bikes. So I have to decide which to buy, a motorcycle or car parts?
