This specific car, in a North American setting, being a daily, and owned by someone with mild OCD? Probably not. If either of those things were different, then possibly.Quote:

Recent picture from a car meet I attended here in Michigan. Personally surprised someone actually bothered taking a picture of it :P
Edit: although admittedly does look decent with his editing/lighting conditions/etc
And yes, that other car is also dipped.

Things have been quite hectic for me lately (and not in a good way). So that busyness plus my general bitterness with the car has resulted in it being quite neglected this season so far. But now with Summer almost over, finally managed to make some time to start on my Spring plans..

If the wheels were a different color, then you really wouldn't be able to make out from the rest of the crowdQuote:

Thanks. Waited a long time to stage such a thing, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out lolQuote:

Won't be much metal to cut out on the rear anyways. Do it.
But his flares are fasterQuote:

Yup, that's one of the main reasons that's got me saying "nope" to even thinking about flares as a realistic option.Quote:

Did you have the entire car painted?

I wish. That way I would've had the rust dealt with as well, and would save me precious Photoshop time :PQuote:

Didn't you have different coloured panels?
Yup, swapped everything back to original panels. She's as close to stock as she's been in a while lolQuote:

^ and the last "mod" on the car (ie thing I bought that I wasn't forced to). And the first one in a long time. Wonder if @Reddie1337 has figured it out yet, after like 3 weeks? haha
I still haven't figured it out, haven't thought much more about it.

Would love to keep it as a winter beater, but just due to the situation I'm in, likely going to be putting her up for sale. We'll see what happens though.
