Default Pictures of my GPW...

Well guys, its taken me a long time to finally get the car I've always wanted, but as you all know, I finally got her this weekend. Got a wash and a coat of zanio on her yesterday...it looks like a brand new car, although these pictures really doesnt show the shine very well.

Here is one picture. If you want to see the other pictures, click on the link, I put them in a little flash viewer for your viewing pleasure.

A great big CONGRATS! I know you've been patient for a long time and finally got your baby.

Oh yea,

A few mod suggestions:

Leather console cover by AUSs2000, Voodo shift knob from Ricks, smoked corners (get w1ngman to do it for ya), Injen CAI (for a real "manly" sound and increased performance), new Alpine head unit with rear speakers, modifry's center console organizer and, did I mention an Injen CAI?

Then you'll be runnin' with the Big Dogs.

Thanks guys...

MulderATO, once I get some free time which recently hasnt seemed like I have, you can bet ill be taking pictures like a bad man...

MyBad, as far as your mod list, lets me see, Leather Console cover was something I was planning on getting, I saw this one on Ricks2k.com...




but I dont know if I have to contact them to get this one or if its custom or whatnot, i wouldnt want the honda stiched in it though. This picture is actually for the floormats, i didnt see on the leather consol cover options one for black and red like the picture.

For the shift knob, I really like the Titanium one, but it has either oxidation or scratches, i really cant tell, im in the process of trying to see what process or cleaner i could use for it. So far I've read jewlery cleaner, but im still trying to research this...

Smoked corners is a must! and I'm waiting for the smoked side markers...

I'm looking into getting a Comptech exhaust fixed to install on her, but I have to contact Comptech first and see what my options are, if it looks like its going to be too much, I'll then look into some other options...

For the head unit, Alpine looks like its the best choice because the guy at Tweeters said they make the adapter that allows the controls to work, but I want to make sure I get one with Sirius and also make sure the antenna can be out of sight and not placed on the back trunk. Apparently someone said that you can put it in the secret compartment and it works great.


YO 03exlcoupe! I thought I saw you the other day while i was driving around, but I dont think it was you...you need to come over one day and play some GT4, I got the wheel and 44Runner and I have S2000 races against each other. Anyways, if you wanna have a Zanio weekend, send me a PM, I have the complete Zanio process coming my way in a few days!

I'm not impressed with Rick's console cover. Its just too light weight and doesn't have clean crisp lines. I"l try to find AUSs2000 and see if he still sells them.

I actually got a hold of AUSs2000 through PM, his website was down so I asked if he still sold them. He does not but did say that Muz bought his design and nows sells them here...

http://www.australia-goldcoast.com/

Also, how much is $199AUD in US money, im too lazy to look it up.



I also decided against a two color leather console cover, I think i want to go with a black console cover with red stitching as well as the shift boot.

At todays exchage rate, that would be $155. for not going with the 2-tone. Black is my choice too. The console cover is only piece I have left to switch out.
