I seriously can't decide, the girlfriend thinks I should go for espresso brown.

They also have like a dark walnut, which looks like black with a slight hint of brown, which might be better

 

lol i kno thats why i said "yea, if you get a body shop to do it." they rape you because of the labor involved. its really not hard work but putting someone on it or 2 people on it even at 3-4 hrs for 2 people thats easily 600-800$ with paint and product included. so DIY. if my paint comes out good we'll shoot your trunk, how'd your buddies car come out anyway?

 

don't forget, you can go with that brown you had earlier (not the textured paint) and just clear it alot, the more you clear the brown, the deeper it will look and more shiny.

 

You think more coats of it and more clear coat, it'll get darker?

 

yea, i think it would. it also helps that your putting it on top of a black base coat. if it were a gray or white or yellow base then the color would look lighter.

 

what do you guys think about this idea?

 

It's not bad, would definitely look sicker in person.

I'm definitely trying the espresso brown... I'm going for uniqueness now

 

Guys, I'm thinking about trading the Cobalt in... Really thinking about trading it in for this white Evo 8 that I found that had 57k on it.

 

Ew evo

 

How?!

 

mine makes a weird noise when turning the wheel at no or very slow speeds but i think that's from the tie rods being way off. we adjusted my camber within 1/16" of where it was so that's close for now. we really didn't adjust my dampening yet, i was gonna wait till after i got it all aligned but yea it would be nice to get a ballpark where yours are to test those settings out myself then. i talked to 1 of the mechanics at the shop i go to last night and he said nobody makes just axle boots anymore so if it keeps leaking i'll need to get a new axle, so it makes me think should i just go with 1 replacement axle for like $80 (give or take a little) or just get ZZP Stage 2 2.2L axles for $199... we'll see, hopefully our rigged fix holds for a little bit

 

I like who's just everyone's getting them

 

Nooo, that's Subie's. Everyone gets a subie. Or at least that's how it is around here which is kinda why I wanna get an Evo and shut all the kids up around here who get mommy and daddy to buy them Subie's.

 

Saw a blue tc in cresson at foxs, was checking the car out a little, then when you got in I noticed your gf starring at me. Tinted windows can be awkward at times..

 

Dude.... Evo 8's are my dream car... I envy you

2004 Evo VIII

I saw a silver one at the Promenade Shops the other day... the dude ran into Pita Pit with the car running... I was considering switching for my Cobalt right there, he wouldnt notice, right?

 

Nah never hahahda

 

Hahaha that would've been hilarious. It would've been his dumb fault. I never leave my car running unattended. The one I'm looking at is an '03 with 57k miles and it's white.

 

Pics of said evo?

 

Center caps arn't painted yet, nor are the back wheels.

How does it look?




I'm eh about it right now, it doesn't look bad, but not the best.

 

just wait till the center caps are on toby, maybe go black with them?

 

Yeah I dont really know about color for them yet...

I was thinking a white... but then nothing else is white on the car. So black would match the lugs/tires/other black crap on my car.

Then there's the simple match the same brown... but that might be too boring

 

that's why i said black

 

Color match paint from your car for the center cap

 

I don't think it looks bad at all! I think a nice dark bronze would look better though, something with some metallic flake

 

That's what I said!

Maybe I could still do a clear flakey coat over top... I'll look into it
