Emerald Green Mica Pic Thread

[2001ES]

/\/\/\Car looks clean what size are those mille miglia...

Mille Migs are 16x7 45mm offset. Tires are Kumho SPT 205/50/16. I'd like to do 17s but New England roads aren't kind to low profile tires.

My 2001 ES has 127,000 miles on it in fact these are my most recent pics. The mica paint is just awesome. The car changes color and look depending on the amount of light and/or sun angle. Mods include Racing Beat springs, Tok blues, Mille Miglia HT3 wheels, Wagner cat-less downpipe, and killer Alpine/XM audio system.

I'm flying from Florida up to Philly Friday morning to buy an '02 ES...emerald mica. I sure hope it looks as good as yours. Your car really looks great in that light.

Thanks. Ya, the way sunlight hits the car makes a huge difference. Like in those shots in post #19 the sun is high overhead so that creates I guess you could say shadows on the lower parts of the car. Good luck with your trip and with your new car. I look forward to seeing some pics.

I got B12 cleaner on one of them and it ate the paint. Looks like I'm going polished for a while. Pics of that in a few days.

After!

I'll say this, that was a lot of work.

Hi everyone. Just wanted to announce my arrival to the Emerald Green gang. I just purchased an '02 Emerald Green Protege ES a couple days ago. I will be taking pictures shortly, hopefully tomorrow....just wanted to say hi for now.

Here is the link to my main thread with more details of my car.

I lost my camera!!!(ughdance)

I had to take a few pics with my cell phone. These suck but it's the best I can do at this point to show off my new ride.

Hopefully my camera will show up and I can take some real photos.

 

[empyre180]

a couple more crappy cell phone pics.

 

[jbiird317]

looks like a pretty good start... planning any upgrades??

oh and did it come with the blacked out headlights or is that just poor pic quality?

We'll see about upgrades. Maybe a few simple things. And no, the lights aren't blacked out...just poor pic quality from the cell phone.
