What have you done to your MS3 today?

[blackmagik]

no one noticed it was painted?! lol

 

[oaklandopen]

Actually i did notice, i was bullshiting by the "still dirty" comment. its just really hard to notoce right away with the picture angles, lighting, and the other things that catch your eye first in those pics

Haha I know notice the new paint. At first glance I noticed the gauge in front of the shifter but I didnt know if that was the "new" item.

Needed new winter tires, badly, for many reasons. My friend convinced me we should repaint the wheels (had a bad shaker-can job) and that he had a great color in mind. He mixed me a custom one from leftovers he had kicking around his shop (owns and runs his own body shop). Definitely a "20 footer" paint job, but everything was free, including a coat of industrial clear that he had left over. Excuse the filthy car.

Orange Tibby wheels makes baby jesus cry. :lol: Not much snow this season though!

No snow is a precursor to the myan end of the world.....and i dont understand the 20-footer reference

 

[Jon MS3]

i'm thinking he means, looks good from 20ft away or greater. could be way off though

 

[8.5MS3]

or can be spotted from at least 20 feet away

This. Tire guys banged them up a bit popping the old tires off and some bits of dust settled on them while they were drying, so definitely not perfect.

I dont know why you dont just leave that thick rubber on year-round, seeing how you live in america's pothole

I think that looks really good, and bet it rides nice too! looks purposeful, i'll take tall sidewalls over that stretched/stance crap any day

 

[fishdonotbounce]

You mean being able to put down 50 out of 300 of my horsepowers due to dumbass stretched tires with a tiny contact patch isn't a smart idea?

 

[oaklandopen]

No more brilliant than having a fwd with lots of power....lolp

 

[Domino81]

My guess is that people who do that don't care so much about a ton of power.
