Those are Kyowa wheels, aren't they...? Damn it. Time for new wheels... Haha.

Looks cleeeeeeean! Great attention to detail colour matching the front bumper sections with the gas cap. Gag.

Lol. To think I was trying to be sorta tactful...

VIP... I get it, but I won't pretend to understand it... Heh.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should...

But hey... it IS just my opinion, after all, and I still think Escort GTs are cool. Oof.

Thanks, dude. And yeah, NC is basically a poor, glorified buy/sell page now. Sucks. Winter has finally set in nicely here and ive been insanely busy. Car will get a little bath tomorrow so I can put the snowboard racks on. Pix then, cause it's filthy now. Gonna contact local dealers about said lip k...

TNK: please refrain from ever posting that blue "R/T" again. No, not even for similar purposes. Seeing it makes me both angry and sad. Thank you. Please repair and reinstall your airdam soon. echoalpha23: I'm tempted to post your travesty of a coupe on the ORG in hopes of having you banned from neon...

Annnnnnd, we're back.
In other news, I'm pleased to note that while this fellow gets points for meaty width, it sort of looks to me like the SRT has been lurking 240SX sites for wheels and fitment... Uncomfortable and weird, from where I sit.

Discuss.

Cleeeeean! Lowered will take it to a special place in my heart.

Dude, I reallllllllly want a rear lip. I looked at the availability thread on here... Can we still get them from a dealer? And they come paint matched, right?

A "no-finger" gap!? lol! Epic. That's the idea... I want it lower, but there's no way I'll further sacrifice ride height with the roads around here. Plus, I'm pretty sure my little guy isn't all that stoked on it. It'll be coilovers or nothing. I'm gonna try to dig up a reputable wheel re-finisher h...

Thanks fellas. Been meaning to snap "winter mode" pics, since I never managed to grab any better daytime pix. Tomorrow, if possible?
TNK: anything more visually I do to it will be weighed carefull over the winter... Still wanna stick with my planned mods plus a couple others...

(Sadly, in many cases) it really comes down to what you like. Or are led to believe it cool. Or the stupid "hot" new modding trend you HAVE to jump on... There I go again. I'm on the .org and NC as 97sportCoupe_Ben. Normally I'm pretty mellow and a reader more than a poster. I'm worried I'm becoming...

And you thought I was TOO nice on the .org!
Ah, I'll concede that my comment came off a bit prickly, but it is concise, and my opinion. (I'll happily take comments on my car too.)
Maybe seeing photos of a first gen in black with gold accents made me a bit more standoffish than usual.

Ntyvirus1 wrote:how is the silver 5-spoke an "outdated" wheel style?

The shape of the spokes with the slight flare at the rim intersection looks dated and cheap to me. It might be a 500 dollar forged wheel, but it looks like a 1997 American Racing wheel to me.

Um. I like the basic colour? I think a lot more car enthusiasts could take hints from the 'core JDM guys in terms of keeping stuff clean and cohesive. I personally don't care for the evo kit, but failing my opinion, I also think the 'kit lines are fucked from front to back. I guess I just don't get ...

I once saw a Jaguar XJS coupe done up in precisely the same way. I was without words. Interestingly, it was an attractive woman driving it. WTF?

Ok, enough is enough... I have to ask; is that an aftermarket lip going on, or what is entailed to get that front bumper look on my R/T!??

Clean PR4 coupes = win. Thanks for making me miss mine.
Love the look, though I prefer carbon painted.
Seems like you'll always get friendlier replies here over the .org... Your car isn't stock enough for that camp. STOCK!

LOL.

i've declined to post any more shots of my car since putting the THULE on, cause I was worried I'd get a pile of shit-talk for wrecking the lines...

THULE with fairing, two bike racks, or board racks for winter.

Hesitant, frightened pics to come, I guess?

Yeah, you guys seem to be a much more cohesive "community" on the whole. Knowledge galore, too.

Thunderstorms all day today = unlikely photos.

Lol. Creeper indeed... Just gathering info on the differences between this one and my dohc coupe. That, and gauging how douchey you guys are in comparison to the ORG! You seem considerably mellower on here...

Gonna try to snap some shots tomorrow after work, provided the weather holds off.

HIDs are ProLumen. Pretty sure they're 6k. They're much better than anything close to stock, but I really want to stop pissing off other drivers and port them into projectors.

Damn. GW and LSP: Thanks for the kind words; both your cars are really nice. I'd like it lower, but again, not gonna happen till I get coilovers. I'm gonna do a tour of the wrecking yards around here and see if I can come up with an SRT rear. I was also curious about a Mopar rear lip... Is that appl...

I figured i'd get a bit of flack for the decals... They're staying put until I can get some more low key ones made. Both are pretty near and dear to me. And what's the deal on the AFX? Unavailable? Sucks? As far as direction; clean is key for me. I'm a graphic designer by trade, so subtlety goes a l...

Basically, I just want the rims refinished. There are a couple marks, and I'm a bit of a perfectionist. Black comes to mind for the understated element I've always liked. Engine? I'd like to get my hands on a clean powdercoated VC! That, or polish mine. I've currently got a proper AEM cai on it, and...

Kind words guys; thanks! Means a lot coming from you specifically, Passt - really liking your car. The wheels are Kyowa KR206 Ultralights. I think they suit the car, but I've been toying with powdercoating them gloss black. Future plans? I'd like to get proper coilovers, since I had them on my last ...

Gave my car a quick wash and claybar after work, and snapped a few shots. Not the finest pics, since it was pretty late, but they're relatively clear. Seems to be a bit mellower than the ORG here, and NC is dead, so let me know what you think. (Oh, it's a 2001 R/T...) http://i224.photobucket.com/alb...
