My car has looked mostly the same since I have owned it.
When purchased it looked exactly like this (other than being a hatch): Not mine, but very similar.
Since it wasn't real, after a repaint, I had the bumper painted red and I left the stripes off.
Also mine wasn't lowered when I got it.
Lately I may be watching too much velocity channel.
The idea of a stock bodied lx again has been intriguing me.
I'd like to have it painted by the end of the year since most of it's life (until last 5 years) it has been outside, rust free well maintained car, but anyone that keeps red outside in the sun and rain knows what it does to the paint.
I'm a big restomod type of guy, so to make it look like a stock lx again has it's appeal. Except I've love to have the 10 holes remade as an 18 with 5 lugs. I hate 15's and am certainly not going back to 4 lug.
How it sits now:
I've been told i'm crazy and that's ok.
And now that I put all the pics on one page, I do feel a little crazier, but the idea of clean stock lx with big 18 inch 10 holes does sound cool.
For the record, this has nothing to do with a "sleeper", I feel like anyone that gets fooled into thinking any fox is slow regardless of how it looks is an idiot, especially since the rear tire type and size usually tells the tale.
While it's unlikely I would go this route, it's still an idea, which may have come from seeing a a stock looking heavily modded grand national with the 18 inch remake of the stock wheels. It was aggressive, restomodded and classy.
Any thoughts?
