Well not really a front mount, but i am doing a stock TT conversion with side mounts.

The front bumper will be reworked to accomodate for the air vents for the side mounts. And since my contract for the advan sponsorship is over I can finally repaint my car. So now its back to my original dillema, full red or full black?

I vote black. Your car is absolutely beautiful. The way I look at it, if everyone liked one style we would all be driving stock Hondas. Anyone can buy a stock 3S, not everyone can redesign it.

Very nice!

You've obviously never owned a business.

(Consider $600/month for yellowpages. Yeah, $7,000 a year just for the damn yellowpages.. How much is your car worth?)

Ask Steve (3sx) or Matt (DN) how cheap advertising is compared to parts.

i know advertising isn't cheap. but since i don't own a shop--and advertising is actually less expensive than parts/labor (at least as far as sponsors are concerned) it pretty much means that private car owners get short shafted on deals like this. no suprise there.

So i did some photoshopping to get to my new paint scheme, and boy am i impressed! This is just the way id like it to look.... comparison slams it.

Thew new red is a color i call Rockstar Red, its a bright red with a wee bit golden sparkle in it to give the shimmery red look. The black shall remain as it is untouched. Im thinking of going with the 99 sails now.

99 sails FTW!

PS: you should put the stock mirrors back on... hey if they are good enough for a viper they are good enough for a 3/S.

I'm with him on the mirrors, unless you're absolutely obsessed with them. Either go back to the stockers, or look around at other cars to get a cool mirror design and just work them to fit. With a 3s, IMO those mirrors just don't fit at all with your styling, it makes the nice craft look like you're trying too hard to make it look like a car that it's not. The only car those mirrors belong on are a zonda :P

Also another question, what are you planning to do with the front turn signals? :P

PS. I think that the new paint scheme will ROCK!
