that's beautiful, even with the dent in the back. Very nice color. That's not that stock S13 blue is it?

It's a stock color. I've never seen another one light like that. There are several dark metallic blue ones. I'm thinking maybe because mine was not an SE it got some special cheap paint or something. I really like it though.

Thanks for all the support!!

The bumper isn't all the way bolted up in that picture. It lines up better now. Also that dent in the back does suck That is the worst possible angle to shot it off. It's not as noticable from the side.

Hey, I think I've seen you around once or twice. Your car was primered a few weeks ago? I've got a red kouki in the orange grove/gulfport area.

Very nice! It's a good color for the car. Yeah dents suck, I got a nice one on my drivers side front fender. But as long as it doesn't affect the driving experience it's all good. :thumbup

I've seen an s13 in blue, only once. Was that just a fluke? It was stock as all hell, so i figured it was factory. I like yours, very clean.

If i had the cash, i'd paint mine a charcoal/slate grey metallic color. IMO, that's a nice color for s13's as well.

maybe you can help me out man. i just sold my 95 to get out of debt. i can get an 89 coupe for free right, what should i do with it? i have a couple of thoughts and limitations though. probably goning to have around $8000 to spend on it for now. it is pretty much just a shell as is. i've contacted fatboygarage, he says he'll sell me the sil conversion front bumper, 30mm fenders, sides, 30mm quarters, and rear bumper for a G. does that sound good? don't even know if you're into that stuff but i thought i'd ask. maybe i'll start a thread bout it. your car looks awesome man! keep it up!

bye the way, what is that below your trunk?

that knob under his trunk is a kill switch. used for the track if he crashes, so safety personnel can remove him from the car without worrying about kiling the fuel pump and spark and what not.

Sorry i've been away for a bit. I paid $1100 shipped from JARCO. It had to be painted.

If i had it to do again i think i would've gotten the wide front and rear fenders and 8 inch wheels out front and 9's in the back.

I almost did a color change to that dark grey they come in.

My car is a stock color but it's lighter than a lot of other ones i've seen. I really have no idea why. The paint shop guys didn't have any trouble matching it though so it's probibly close to a stock color.

Thanks for the compliment too!!!! :D
