i know its not a GS but the color is soo staggering!

options:
1- save your money for a clean gte setup (my original plan) and plus my engine warranty will be over soon haha

2- get a body kit...junction produce is my favorite kit...however being that i have a gs3...there is no choice for me...i need to go FI...and there is no intercooler cutout on the JP kit...

3- go for it! paint it interlagos blue!

reasons:
- i like this color...i love spectra blue as well but when i went car shopping in 03...never had spectra blue as a option....and i wanted to get a new car lol. and from what i know...even with got a used spectra blue...most all come with tan interior or grey interior i believe?

- i can take out all the rockchips and imperfections in the car (and after its done...I am planning to order a clear bra kit). i am very picky with this lol

- 2 goodies (one of them is blue! haha)...well see when they come in! haha ;)

-cost: i was expected around 8k but he told me 5-6k (my painter) for a new paint job...inside and out.

- you rarely see GSs with a tasteful custom paint job.

I say go for it !!! Sweet color and good choice.. :thumbup:

I love the color and say go for it! :thumbup: ;) Are you giving up the GS to get this? :uh:

Go for it, nice deep blue@@!!

a zcp interlagos m3 is always one of my top cars on my list...however i decided to go forward and hopefully take the GS to a new level :)

I think that color would look awesome! Do it now! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I say get the car that color is meant for :thumbup:

i must agree with you to some point...i do love the interlagos...but it looks soo much sexier on a ///M

this gorgeous color would absolutely transform your ride into something that feels new. Alot of "satisfaction mileage" can be had from this. The GTE setup can always wait.

I love that color...I say go for it :thumbup:

Get rid of the GS, then buy that M. I do see an intercooler on that car and that is very unique. You don't see many M's with an intercooler. Then you can sell the JP kit to me and I'll cut it up to fit my intercooler behind the front bumper. lol :D

Get rid of the GS and buy that M3, baby!!!!!!! One of my absolute favorite cars hands down - M3.

Man two other people beat me to it. I know that M3 is here in FL but the M3 is just a great car. If you go FI then dont do the JP kit. I would get a Wise like bluelex or something. Not sure that spending the money to repaint the car would be the best thing. Your color is great already, just use that money towards FI and a kit. :thumbup:

That would look HAWT!! Especially if you had some teeth to back it up :p

haha man you and rich are killin me haha...yeah same here! the m3 and the new 997 are on the top of my list.

It is a beautiful M3, but they are a dime a dozen. Atleast here in Cali. Your ride is just so clean and has very tasteful mods that if you really wanted to make it a head turner, get the JP kit (if youdont have it yet...) and paint that bad boy.

That being said, I don't know of many FI'd M's period. I agree that I do see a lot of M's even here in Hawaii, but I do give props to those who go beyond and get the SC for it. I know that the handling is already there so more power is nice. But on the second hand since gas here is over 3.50/gallon for 92 octane, then maybe a body kit, drop, paint, and wheels, might pay itself off in a couple of years as compared with getting FI'd. for the GS. My last check had me at 12.9 mpg. :eek2: :woohoo:

Buy July I can actually get you a pic of that color on a gs3, I met a guy who normally comes out to the shows who owns a spectra blue gs3 and I spoke to him a couple weeks ago at DUB and he was telling me he painted his car this same color and was getting it out the shop soon. I say July cuz that the next big show I'll see him at. He's not a member on CL so next time I see him I could get you pics.

My opinion, the jp kit is very nice , we know it looks nice on silver from seize's brothers car. I took this route and normally suggest to people to go the cosmetic route. Get the car to look great outside than work on the inside(interior,turbo,SC,trunk) But I can't lie , This motor is music to my ears, candy to my eyes and food for my hunger of speed. So I vote do the GTE swap on your list 1st. You won't regret it.

I would go FI route, GO FI FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

MAn that M looks sweet... If doing this to the GS is what you want than go for it... But if you can finagle a way to have both than do that.. having a GS and M in the driveway would be worth it... :D

Cody, you already have a lot of the cosmetics down, HRE, JP, etc. But the GTE with twins will put you on a whole other planet. I mean opening up the hood and seeing all that goodness is just :eek2: Of course you will want a bbk to go with it, maybe AP racing or Stoptech


BTW, what color are your headlights painted. I really need to know :thumbup:

yeah i love big brakes!! haha I am crossing my fingers and hoping it will come in the box next month lol :D ;)

as for the headlights...they are painted gunmetal...but yeah i am planning to paint my fogs as well to compliment the whole look (bluelex reminded me of this haha).

i have a better idea for you cody. sell your car, buy mine :) sounds right? :)

Thanks for the info. What part of the foglights are you going to paint?

the housings of the fogs...i think as bluelex said...it would look a lot better :)

Your car looks great the way it is now...so I'm pretty sure you could hold off on the bodykit for a while. I say go the FI route...:thumbup:

hahhaa, so you want to cut in front of cody now, chris? ;) i need to talk to my wife again, it's funny coz' i mentioned to her (again) lately about selling the car

You mean the inside of the lens :uh: Got any pics of what this looks like?

I will admit I have a thing for M3's but Lexus' comes first for some reason. If I hand extra cash I would pick one up though. :thumbup:

The M3 is soooo much fun to drive. I love it, It sounds Porshe like at 8k RPM. Drive it if you haven't. You will fall in love.
