i like the color, buts thats about it.

your wheels dont fit right, you say they rub now, but you should have done your math on what fits and what doesnt and got wheels that will actually extend the width of hte fender.

car looks thrown togehter IMO.

DUDE!! Thats one freakin sweet tC. Orange is a hard color to pull on most cars, but you my friend pulled it off without a hitch. If you don't mind me asking, how was the suede installed? Is it a single piece? What about the bumps on the dash?

Sure is man... here's pics of my garage. I just bought it in August and fixed it up in the first month. Started use in September






The dirty bay, fiberglassing/oil change kinda work. Also a great place for beer pong with the cars being parked on the other side of the glass.






incase you need something to read... Some of my teamates covers.



or something to drink




The chill spot


Our sick bike...


Everything including the kitchen sink

I paid 300 for the fabric and did it myself. One big hue piece cut to each pieces size. Theres 3/4 inch foam under the dash, its the only way I could get the gauge cluster humps to look right. I did the dash 3 times already and Im still not very thrilled.

I guess 2.5 years of body work is thrown together... you're right

So the wheels dont fit to your standards, hows that being thrown together?

i am not sure how making a widebody kit formed to the body a thrown together car. Sure the rims look a touch off, but for what this car is, its hot.


I am a huge fan of burnt orange cars. Burnt Orange + Tint + Black Rims = teh secks

as you stated, i am entitled to my opinion and i stated it.

TO ME, the car just doesnt look right, and you said that you didnt rub until you lowered the car, you should have thought about the wheels before that, im sure if you got a set of custom wheels actually made to fit it would make everything look alot better.

yeah no doubt man, I was just a little offended by "Just thrown together". Some nasty wheels would look better though no doubt. Ill throw my spacers on and see what you guys think about them. New wheels are out of the question for right now unless someone comes along with an outstanding deal. My next big thing will be the turbo. Ive got to throw the brakes on this weekend.

Hey, for the ricepaper texture on the dash, did you just leave it or sand it down? And what kind of adhesive did you use?

No, I didnt sand, although it may be a good idea for more grip. I used and I quote... "Gorilla Gizz"... Works good for holding the fabric to the foam. I attached the foam to the dash with a staple gun and the gg. Im still not 100% happy with it, but it works for now. I'd love to just switch it to carbon.
