Ok I finally have the balls to show my new baby!

On the last pic I just like how I'm the same color as my interior :P I'm finding it real hard to modify this DGP... I suck at color combinations... my friend wanted to smack me for wanting to put gold rims on it lol...

Clean car. I would stick with silver wheels. I don't think gold would look right, nor would black, or gunmetal. DGP calls for silver.

Check out posts/pics by JMillerUA6. He has a DGP with the same interior as yours, and his car is slammed on some nice silver 18's.

Congrats.

Nice car. Gunmetal would work fine with DGP, as would silver. Gold might work, but it would depend on the shade; a darker shade of gold (like some guy had on his mesh wheels on his ABP) would look good.

I think I'll go with the silver color since you both suggested it!

Nice color!

I agree with chill_dog, gunmetal would set your car off nicely.

I would keep em silver to match the grill if you are going to keep it stock. Kinda boring though...if you are going to modify I would custom paint the grill, blackout the headlights and get nice wheels maybe gunmetal or something. Also don't forget a drop and Aspec kit and you are set

clean car man! you don't see too many of those cars around at all, which only makes it better! there's a fully aspec'ed dgp roaming around my hometown. it honestly looks really, really nice! tan interior with gunmetal aspecs, a subtle drop and lighted tinted windows. of course, if you go even darker on the tints, you could make the a darker theme flow better? ie black out headlights, get type s tails and sides and smoke them LIGHTLY. looks good either way!

Many people have suggested a drop, about how much $ will that set me back (ball park)?

^^ lol

Trust me, 2 main ingrediants to a NICE TL would be a Drop and aspec lipkit. and please no 1" drop.

All depends on what route you wana go. coilovers can run u anywhere from $500-$1100 Used- Brand new. Springs can run you $100-$300 Used - Brand new.

I know I know! i learned my lesson though... will have CAR ONLY pics next time, after a drop and Aspec. Paterson has some bad streets though so i dont know how much I should drop it. I'm forbidden from doing 1" :P

bronze might look nice on it.

what i would personally do with that color is get aspec kit, slam it, and get some deep wheels with color matched lips and black face orrrr some work s1s with polished step lip and color matched face.
