Yeah, the wing is coming off. I'm going to sell it and put the money towards my swap.

What's wrong with oem gray? That's what color I'm painting my hatch. Albeit it's a sil40 but oem gray looks great on s13s. Anything too busy looks stupid. Especially with those ugly fwd wheels, and no power to back up that nice paint job. Unless you're going to be putting down serious numbers, a vibrant paint job will just turn your car into a giant poser-mobile.

I'm going to be doing a RB swap. I'm getting new wheels for my birthday. My bdays not until april, so i'm going to see if my dad wont get them for me early. I've got a LOT of **** to do still. I've only had the car for a week now, and it's parked up at my Dad's friends house because I have to clean out the garage at me and my girlfriends house. I would just park it out side, but I don't live in the best neighborhood right now. I wouldn't want anyone doing anything to my car.

I've got some pretty big plans for the car though. I figure I'd rather go ahead and paint it while the weather is good.

If you want to be really cool, go white with lime green wheels or purple wheels. Or lime green in the rear and purple in the front I just blew your mind. I know.

looks way better already.

To the guy who owns this car: Figure out what other mods you want to do to it first (like what rims, wing? what kit) then pick the color. Some colors go better with certain wheels or what not if you have you heart set on a particular one,
