The Official Yellow P5 Thread

[o.g.sk8er]

thanks bro!
I paid 250, which is a little high imo. I've seen people get it done for as low as 175. I did the install, and its not hard at all. just a few zap screws at each end near the wheel well, and a whole bunch of double sided tape. This thing is on there good! But, I have some gaps where it contours out near the fog light, so I may yank it off and re align it.

also, I got sick of that hideous yellow grill, so I just painted it black again earlier today.

got caught in the rain yesterday. After pulling in to the garage I notice that the entire roof is coverered in 1000's of little drops of rain... just struck me as interesting.

yea, my cars paint has seen better days. lol
I have Espilers right now. 1.4 inch drop front and rear. Not bad springs at all. I had MP3 springs before these.

What wheels are those?

wheels are Rota Subzero's/hyper black 16's with 215/45 direzzas. i like 'em...decent rims, light enough and look good.

 

[SuperProtege5]

I wanna thank you for being the first one to have a pic of those rims in that size. And of all things in the color of my car. How much do I owe you? lol. But seriously the car looks great.

 

[SuperProtege5]

A little of topic guys but one of my upcoming projects is to paint my calipers. What color do you think will go good with a yellow car? I was thinking of trying to get the Brembo gold or paint them black since red is too McDonaldish. Any suggestions?

 

[o.g.sk8er]

Thank you for your thoughtful remarks, you are too kind...you dont owe me anything my friend...just keep the car looking good.
If you need more pics, like this one...vvv...let me know.

also, I agree about the red calipers being very Mcdonaldish. I've seen it on some other (yellow) P5's, and its just not for me. Makes me want french fries.
Anyway, I had the same idea about the gold calipers...bought the paint and everything. But when I took a wire brush to the calipers, the color left behind was a surprisingly pleasant silver, so I left it.
Wire brush off your calipers real good and see if you like the color as much as I did.

Nice car, did the rims come with it?

I was gonna paint my rear valence black, but I'm having second thoughts. In some ways it does look better yellow.

Cool, A couple recomondations if I may to help you get your car lookin real good:

1. Remove dealership badge
2. Remove roof rack(if you wont be using it)
3. Remove side door moldings
4. Tint tail lights
5. Black out headlights
