[Giallou P5]

i know somehting else, current pics and updated pics

 

[Rogue]

I'll see if I can dig up an old pic, but it's just your basic Red P5. I had painted the front grills white and the Flying M red. My original plan was to go Red/White, but now I'm going Red/Black.

 

[Rogue]

 

[Replica]

That white grill stuff has got to go. Blah...

I'd keep things simple looking, get some dark rims, lower it a little and that's about it. Hi-Boost would be the first thing on my list. Speed never goes out of style, funny black hoods, eyebrows and stubby antennas do...

 

[Rogue]

the grills are taken out right now. i just have the C/F hood on.

 

[iLisa]

stubby antennas won't ever go outta "style"

 

[snooky]

i like the stuff uv done but CF hood on a red car... idonnu id have to see wat its looked like, but everything else sounds hot, keep up the work and post more pix wen u done!

 

[Rogue]

i like the stuff uv done but CF hood on a red car... idonnu id have to see wat its looked like,

I'm actually gonna paint it. Black up the middle and red on the sides. I guess I'm kinda weird, I don't like the look of CF. The FG grill will be painted black also. I'm gonna try to get it into the paint shop tomorrow.

 

[iLisa]

I think CF will and does look uber hotness on a red 5..

I think that u should paint the middle red and leave the rest cf...hot...but its up to u ..

I would be different...

CF on our cars does nothing. Its an appearance only so I don't see why you'd want to paint it.

 

[Rogue]

bump for new wheels and suspension.

Wheels will be put on tomorrow with new rubber (Yokohama AVS ES100 215x40x17)
Suspension should go on Sunday. I should be able to do that with just hand tools, right? Or will I need a compressor and air tools??

I'll take before and after pics...maybe some during install, too.

Hehe, it does need to be lowered. Truckotege5. Rims are neato though.

The front looks really ghetto with no grills in...
