I haven't decided yet, but I'm leaning slightly towards powdercoating them gloss black. If I do the wheels I'm thinking to do the brake calipers too...What color though, go basic with silver so they look clean or something bright like red?

Oh, and car looks good

wow i'm catching on this late!

Awesome car shoofin! I would definitely want to own one of these for some time. They seem like such fun cars to drive!

As for the long trips you got your mini for that!

I got her in it on Sunday for a one and a half block drive to my brother's house and she didn't stop bitching the whole time. On the way back home after she didn't want to go in it again, she said she would rather walk, but I got her back into it for the ride back home. After that I don't think she's going back into this car again. It's not as much the comfort as it's the fact that it's very bright and attracts a lot of attention, she's embarrassed to be in it.

Women..

On a funny note, I went to my brother for my 3 year old nephew's birthday, a lot of family was there, at some point some of the other kids were surrounding the car and asking if it was real or if it was a toy..

The part of my ass where the thigh bolsters hit it are pretty sore and probably black and blue...Plus by my hamstrings around the area that's getting beaten up every time I have to get in and out of the car and hits the door sill...Ouch, seriously..

Initial impressions...If I had to drive the car every day, I'd get sick of it very quickly. If I drive it ever so often, the appreciation and enjoyment remains.

Red calipers on a yellow car make it look like Ronald McDonalds personal ride. I'd go with anything but red.
