What have you done to your P5 today?

[Kansei]

I took some pics. Sadly I was just taking some quick shots so I didn't notice that I was using a really high ISO on the outdoor shots. Damn noisy photos.

first is the front calipers that I did silver. I still have to do the rears though, it looks really dumb because they're still red

Then just a couple shots showing off the black 323 emblem. I used touchup paint on the connectors between the numbers but only one coat so it doesn't look that great.

attached is just a shot I took before I ran to class.

[Kansei]

thanks guys.

hehe I just noticed in the attached pic it looks like my car has some funky antenna on it but it's actually the top of a loft apartment building that my car is completely obstructing.

edit: actually it was just a streetlamp, found my other pic of it:

Looks great Chris! Everytime I see your car it makes me want gunmetal wheels. First time I have seen the 323 emblem on a P5.

i know, cheap, heavy, blah blah. p5 isnt for fast or w/e. its designed to be sexy. its my dd, and i do autox it a lot, but ill keep stockers for autox. thoughts?

 

[Kansei]

I'm sure my rims are heavy but they look sexy so oh well. I figure 22 pounds for a 17

I actually can notice a performance increase (at least straightline) when I switch to my stock wheels for the winter. It's not much but it's definitely noticeable. I'm happy with the performance of the car either way.

 

[Salmon_Rob]

yeah. im going for sexy

 

[02MazPro5]

Not sure if I said before. I got some rims on my P5 about a month ago. Finally finished getting my car fixed from my curb accident........

Over the weekend I gave my car a little color... Forget paint, I'm runnin Red Velvet!

Pics are in this tread.
