- Thu Apr 07, 2011 6:02 pm #248956 So, originally I had planned to paint the car satin black but I am now seriously considering phantom grey. The phantom grey will only cost me $100-$150 more. Opinions please

- Thu Apr 07, 2011 8:24 pm #248980 Imo, Phantom Grey gives it a more "finished" kind of look where as the satin black gives off the aura of "I'm still working on this project but I like to drive it". Plus if it is only 100 or so more, go with shiny

It will look great with either color you go with

Panda!

- Thu Apr 07, 2011 8:59 pm #248987 personally i would go with the satin, if its done right it will look like a finished paint job, where as matte black doesnt look as finished...

but once again, totally your call

- Fri Apr 08, 2011 5:09 pm #249154 the satin black looks very cool on the hatches. specially with 16s. i painted mine satin black and its got red gt3 16s. looks freaking scary!!!! and the flat olive green looks dope tooo

- Fri Apr 08, 2011 5:43 pm #249158 Go with glossy every time, Satin or flat just say I have no money but I want to drive my car without being fully embarrassed, just my opinion

- Thu Apr 14, 2011 2:56 pm #250398 still undecided about the paint but I'm leaning toward the phantom grey. I think it will be bad ass either way.

I installed the Del Sol 15mm rear sway bar and ex front sway bar.


my wheels with the extended studs


installed my coin/cup in the radio din. The dash is just sitting in there at this point.
