Repainting my car
When I first got the car in 2005:
This is how the car was in 2007 after a full bodykit and wheels:
I was going to pull the engine and paint it black but I decided to go with a custom color using the AX6 Laser Red as a base. What do you guys think? Also losing the Kenstyle rear for the Chargespeed.
Headlights will also be blacked-out.
Interior wrapped in CF vinyl since my aluminum trim is all scratched up.
I have a Pioneer AVIC930BT and a JDM DD finisher waiting to be installed soon. (Thanks to Wrathernaut for trimming it since my car has OEM navigation.)
Parts sitting in my garage or are on order:
Akebono BBK Metallic Black Calipers
Stoptech Cross/Drilled Rotors
Hawk HP Plus Pads
Megan Racing Coilovers
SPC Front Control Arms
SPC Rear Camber Arms
Stillen Adjustable Sway Bars
Energy Bushings
Forgestar F14s (19x9.5 Front & 19x10.5 Rear)
Hankook Ventus V12 (255/35/19 Front & 285/35/19 Rear)
Titek Aluminum Lug Nuts (Anodized Red)
ARK Grip Exhaust System
Takeda Short-Ram Intake
Kinetix Velocity Manifold
I'm still not sure on what to do for the third brake light but we'll see. I'm also planning to rebuild the engine and get a Vortech Supercharger and many supporting mods after the summer is over. The shop I wanted to go to said the downtime will be about a month. So since it's summer I just want to enjoy my car.
Bonus picture.

I was going to go with a black and blue pearls but there's a few modded black ones in my city already. I'm the only red one that's modded.
