spicy 03.5

here is a pic, its's not an 03.5 though. It's a 03 with the 03.5 spoiler paint matched. I forgot where I found this pic, I had it for about a year saved to my computer when I was thinking about getting the 03.5 front bumper and rear lip so I could be a "spicy 03.5" just to be different..lol

My brain is having a hard time processing those images, LOL. I've never seen that before, an 03 Spicy with an exterior 03.5 conversion .. I can't decide if I like it or not! It's just so weird to see!
 
IMHO, it has darker wheels, I think its a 2003.5 painted. 2003 wheels' where lighter then that.

But looks awesome to me.
 
yeah I think so too, I can't remember where I found the first pic but the other two pics were posted on this forum in the pics thread. I would say it is a 3.5 painted spicy. It would be more work to convert the 03 to the 3.5 then paint the bumpers to match along with the darker rims. I thought about doing this a long time ago because I like the 03.5 front bumper more than the 03 bumper for some reason. Either way, it is kind of unique in a way.(cool)

Also, the exhaust is different...that is most definitely the 03.5 exhaust.

I don't understand you guys lol...Why would somebody take a rare car and paint it another factory color? Also, why would they go through the trouble of repainting the whole car, rather than just finding a spicy, trading wheels, exhaust, whatever else and painting the body kit?

some people just like the color. I have a friend here with a boosted p5 that is saving to paint it spicy. To me, it just seems like less work to just paint the car if it is originally a 03.5. If it was an 03, it seems like more work to switch exhaust and wheels, then find the 03.5 kit especially since they are hard to find anyway..unless they would not mind dealing with the stealership and high prices.

I would never want to do an entire respray of my car unless the paint was completely beat and it was going to be repainted the same color. If they really did repaint an 03.5 and they try to sell it, anybody who would do some research on the car would ask how they got that color with that body style. And you know what would be the smartest thing to say? To tell them you just swapped the 03.5 body kit and all that then painted the kit to match. If you tell them you repainted the whole car...they wouldn't give you much money for it. Maybe it would seem like less of a hassle to some of you, but I would rather have the option of just removing the body kit.
