Just got the photos from my painter yesterday, it is on a boat to Sydney next week - is anyone interested in the pics?

Here's before...




Some of the prep...






Does anyone want any more?

I think a bright red with a flat black stripe, or similar design worked into it would be SICK. Kind of like snakeloa's GT-4. And I guess I can understand if you don't like the stock GT-4 bumper and hood, but why change it then to something you don't like? confused.gif

how come you took off the rear parts but didnt spray there too?? and yes we'll cruicify you laugh.gif


I did wonder that myself - I am no painter, I guess because he was working to my budget he had to cut a few corners?

I didn't change it, I bought it fresh from Japan with full, genuine Veilside kit. At the time I hadn't seen a lot of the other styles, although I did and still do prefer Pakfeifer. I am opening myself up to criticism again, but I didn't buy the GT-4 because I was passionate about the 6GC, I bought it to be a bit different to everyone else running STi's and EVO's... It wasn't until I joined this site that I discovered even the non-turbo's could be pretty impressive looking machines.

Yeah sick and tired of seeing those around, plus all they seem to do is FMIC, lowered suspension, BOV, external wastegate (VTA) and finish off with "For sale 027 ..."


but once the paintings finished I'm sure there will be a few jaw droped faces wink.gif
