Convince me to not turn this:


into this:

old car.. i miss it to death

Not here to bitch or anything.. i just miss the 92 alot, and almost want to turn the new GT (89) basically into a clone of the 92 (gt clone).. unless you have some badass looking red cars, its going to be silver.. just asking for some pics.. i've looked through the "nicest fox" thread, but never saw any red hatch that looked mean like i want.. anyone have a good picture lying around? just aint fond of the red GT's. Thanks folks

Bad

Unless you yank the engine, strip the car, and do it properly, its going to look trashy.

Its hard to color change a red car. If it gets scratched it will look like its bleeding. I have a link to pics of my red 90 GT in my sig.

why don't you just put the black stripes on the red car how you did to your silver one? everything that was silver make red or just make it a 2 tone i think 2 tones look sick. don't go silver keep it a red

Or silver or white stripes. Those usually look gret on red when they're the right width!

In Canada (probly in the US too) we can go to the DMV and pay $10 for a new ownership and tell them you changed the colour and the ownership will say Silver....instead of the previous red
