did you have your whole car repainted? I noticed that the inner grill and back piece have both been painted white.
WtbS2k, Parts of the car was repainted, from an accident. But my car doesn't look any whiter then other GPW's I've seen. Maybe its the camera.


efthimios, The grill, vent, and lower section of the rear bumper was painted when i bought it. I haven't figured out if its for the better. sometimes it irritates me. other times i like it.

yeah, the previous owner went carzy with a can of paint , it doesn't look like it was done at the shop. Thinking of removing the paint, or painting it over black.

Is tire wear with a 1" to 1-1/2" Drop normal? Tire are expensive.
especially for a 9" wheel 255/35ZR18's
But that wheel gap sucks
No worries man. Drop it like 2 inches and get a really good allignment. If done correctly tire wear can be kept normal
