Sebring Silver!

I think they are both nice, in their own right. The V2 look classy, the V1 look sporty to me.

I'm gonna buy a turbo...and drive to Jersey. Then beat Chip. Then part out the car and turbo and just drive the TL every day. Seems like a solid plan!

God I love those recent pics.

Personally I didnt think Id be more jealous of your TL/ silver s2k combo. Then you come up with this Rio Yellow s2k. What a beauty.

Congrats!


Love my Rio Yellow, which replaced my Spa Yellow. Mine is exact copy of yours, all stock with front lip.



But yours now lowered looks much better.


I hadn't driven mine in about 14 months, seeing your pics, made me take it out for a spin! I had mine since 07, bought new then.

GTFO...really?!?! I didn't know that! Get in and drive it, sucka!

Got some stuff done over the weekend...License bolts, V1 hardwired in, Test Pipe wrapped in header wrap, front strut bar, FIPK all done...thanks Chip for the great deal!

Holy complicated install too...the FIPK is NOT simple if you have the air vacuum line thingy, which I do and my old S didn't. So a trip to the store to pick up the missing bolts for the strut bar and some vacuum and coolant line and I was on my way.

Also, went to boss' house and did the UK exhaust mod with the 38MM pipe...looking forward to hearing how it makes the exhaust sound.

Op just noticed your wheels. Much better design than my ugly 07

Fucking excellent J. And you're welcome for the good deal. Seeing pics of yours is making me kick myself in the ass for even touching mine.

God I miss driving it. Stupid fucking SC bolt!
