ive actually been curious how that would look.. since the tires are meaty and they have whitewall lettering in the works.. a nice bright deep red might be cool.. its certainly attention grabbing.. and i miss having a red car.. my z32 was red.
How bout Scion TC cement grey? Actually eff it. Just saw some dude thrashing around my area in a late 80's slammed widebody Porsche 911 with now I would call Lagoon blue and holy effin &*^ . Epic... This however clearly was painted and gloss I think

saweet.. turbo is 100% dead.
I have no choice but to rebuild now and replace it later on w something different.. preferrably w a sponsorship.. but funds will barely allow a rebuild now let alone a new turbo.
