You will get used to the power, and then want more.. I said I wasnt going to do performance when I first got it, and that will be changing for sure..

True, it does look silver.. Definitely Pewter though. This color like many other tends to change color depending on lighting.

Guys thanks for all the tips and congratulations but I think you all got me wrong......

I have had my car for 2 years already without touching it (quite proud),

I wanted to learn as much as I could about the car before touching anything.

but now I feel comfortable enough to do "little projects".

The colour is Cubinite silver flips out from silver to dark champagne tone it awesome.

The paint is still all factory this car has never been in an accident and I know the

Previous owner personally so I know the history of the car from back to front.

As for the wheels I did them here in my body shop where all the "little projects" will take place.

But seriously i think this site is awesome and the people on it.

Im sure im going to pick a lot of your brains for more info on how to do certain things.
