Plati-dipped then rattle canned my GTPs gold to see if I like them. I really like the color but I like it better on a mesh wheel than a spoke wheel. I am going to try a copperish/bronzish color tomorrow. Don't mind the flat wheel it was just a test fitting.

The power folding mirrors were horrible to wire. Running the extra wires to the doors was such a pain in the A$$!!!! But I think I am the only person in the U.S. with Euro power folding mirrors with heating and auto-dimming.

I hope the bronze looks a little better. But I think I am still going to go with some form of silver for the GT-Ps.

That's why I went with Euro mirrors instead of JDM mirrors. The Euro mirrors are angled for LHD and also have convex glass built into the end of the mirrors so I can cover my blind spots.

Well it would be this week rather than today but: changed out my o2 sensors, OCV, and PCV Valve, detailed the entire thing top to bottom and painted my stocks from flat black to "Antique Brass".. It was a long few days. I will put up some pics later.

Yeah I'm still going to re-barrel them. It would be easier but a photoshopped photo isn't as good as actually looking at the color. Even the photo's I took don't fully capture the color of the wheels.

i added an extra 1300 miles to the odometer. i drove non stop from Chandler, AZ to Independence, OR. I decided it was time to stretch her legs and even with 180,000+ miles she still runs great!
