Thanks man. Yeah, a few people have remarked that from a distance it looks like road rash or dirt. But I don't care. The car is meant to please only one person. And I like it.

 

Side note.. Love that rear wing, what model is that. Is it fixed?

 

Thanks dude.

It's a Misha GT2 Add-on Wing. It's mounted on the original hydraulics, so it goes up and down.

I find it very disappointing that some members think it is necessary to comment on the way in which other members style their cars. Whatever happened to saying you like or don’t like it without resorting to insults?
Nobody will ever mod or style their car with 100% acceptance of everyone in the world, that why it is called individuality.
Top efforts for styling the car the way you like, love the car!
Colorado Silver do you even know what the word respect means, try and use some next time, before posting.

 

The OP put this up to hear our opinions:

"I love you guys, but please, don't hold back."

I wasn't my intention to insult him, just sayiing that I didn't care for it. Everyone has their own way of saying that. I actually love his car. If you noticed in a later post in this thread I did compliment him on his rear wing as I think that looks awesome.

I have pleanty of respect here on the board. Maybe you should just stick to your own business as I don't see how it's your place to critique me.
Have a gooday mate!

Really, you can't read the sarcasm of the "I love you guys" comment? Read it again, it screams it!

You have a funny way in which you interact with people, you said in your first post you have more respect for a tribal guy than ELMEL. Period!

My post reads, I don’t understand why those comments are necessary? Why can’t you say I like or don’t like it and a reason without attacking the guy? That’s my question?

I don’t care if you have respect for yourself or anyone else here, not the point or the issue! As far as critiquing your post, get over it, you have posted on the internet, and let me explain it to you, when you post something on the net, you are allowing yourself to be critiqued, and doing so everyone has the right to comment, and I will repeat my statement, however I don’t understand why people have to attack others to express their point of view, plain and simple!

You will also see that I have corrected your grammar and spelling, hope this helps your for future posts.

 

Can't we all just get along?

 

I like that black GT2 in your avatar. Very nice setup! What kind of wheels are those?

 

How did you do the tribal thing? I'm finding it scary to powder coat the stock rims with a contrasting color on the lip. Let alone all that detail.

 

If you don't understand, then you just don't understand. As for my spelling and grammar, thanks for the corrections, but a waste of time. As for your opinion of myself or your views on posting things on the internet, I couldn't care less.

As to the OP (ELMEL), I was making a joke about a tribal guy. Sorry if it didn't come off that way. Again, not my intention to "attack" or insult.

I still love the wing.
I went to the Misha site and found the wing, but no pricing. I'll have to look a little deeeper into that.

 

My tribal lip application was easy, albeit cheesy. The rims are stock Techart Formula GT 18 which come with the aluminum lip. All I did was apply some tribal pinstriping tape. Easy peasy!

This is what they looked like before the tape:



And again, after:



The tape peels right off.

 

I think it would look much better with big reds behind them. I have a set I will trade you straight up for the yellow thing-a-ma-jigs in the pics above, no extra cost to you.

 

Cheers, It's taken alot of time but it is almost finished. The wheels are 19" ADV7.1, and are a ***** to keep clean, but apart from that they are one of the best looking rims I have seen, the concave is simply amazing.

 

For better or worse, the internet allows people like us to say things that we probably wouldn't say to each other in person. After starting a few verbal wars myself, I decided that not voicing a negative opinion is probably just as effective as voicing one. If the OP posted the same question and got 100 views with very few, if any, responses I think he'd get the hint.

Along the same lines, I agree with the earlier comment about personal preference, so I've decided not to give any weight whatsoever to the opinions of others about cosmetic changes to my car. Therefore I don't ask. So now I'm going to get in my Speed Yellow with purple flames and wheels 997 and go to work.

PS. re: Misha not advertising prices. I've written them directly about that policy. The explanation I got is that they want to convince potential buyers of the superiority of their product. I told them won't buy from a company that makes me contact them for a price quote and then uses the opportunity to subject me to a sales pitch. It's a piece of fiberglass after all, not a time share.

 

Awesome post, Taxi!

I posted this on Rennlist as well. 113 views. Zero replies. Got the hint. Case in point.

You're right.

I should point out that I didn't explicitly solicit opinions, though I knew I would get them. You can imagine, I wasn't exactly expecting so much negativity though. I didn't realize how bad my sense of style was until I posted this.
