i just bought a t2 that needs some body work (thanks vosko)

so i am just gonna repaint the whole car. my father owns a body shop so the choices are pretty much endless. its black now and i was thinking i would keep it black and do a nice pearl finish with maybe some gold in it. then throw the volk se37k's on it in bronze.

i donno tell me what you guys think. :yum:



anybody have any pics of anything like this?

i think that would look sweet, maybe with a front lip spoiler. make sure it sits right, and you'll have a sweet ride

yeah it is a little steep but i think it comes with the headlight conversion.

i havent seen it on a black car either but i think it would loook good.

Just do it in black, a purer black then stock, you will never grow tired of it and if done right and polished up all nice it makes a strong statement without looking cheesy, plus you wont have to bother with under the hood or the hatch/door jambs if you just go a bit richer of a black.

Its all about making a impact. The right ride height, the right rims, black car, dark tint on the windows, some stainless underneath and poking out the front from the intercooler. May sound weird, but it gives the car a mature look.

Yeah, unlike the WRX. I saw one of those up close yesterday it was like looking at the elephant man or something, what with alkl of the damn scoops, etc.

yeah i wanna do a nice dark black.

black cars are subtle yet refined looking. especially done right with nothing extravagent sticking out.
