Default some SOARER *pix*

Here is a picture of something I've been wanting to do. The wood seems to be powdercoated grey to match the console. I snapped all these pictures from a magazine with my digicam by the way, so it kinda sucks.



In this picture, they cut out the middle lower grill area. I was also thinking of doing that, but I don't have a huge FMIC to go behind it.



I just thought this one was funny because they connected the 2 taillights with red in the middle. I guess it's a SARD product.



This would look interesting, but it would look a lot nicer if it had a skirt to go around it.



And finally, this is the BEST BODYKIT for the SC!! It's called the Monkey Magic, I'm going to get one!

the monkey magic ...lol. looks a little like a camaro, but not exactly.

boy, you can see that red interior, huh? I like the exaust on the black one, but i wish it had a shot from normal viewing position so i could see more. i guess if i had an exaust like that though, that WOULD be my normal viewing position...lol.

ACleanSC4,

That's the basic Soarer 2.5GT-t/3.0GT interior there (the grey panels)... the Soarer 2.5GT-L and models above have the woodgrain (as in the SCx00). Ironically, the basic Soarer air vent registers are less prone to the infamous Soarer air vent crack

Really? They come that color? Would you happen to know anyone who wants to trade for the wood pieces? Mine are PERFECT!!

Let me know,
Tony

Will the dash ones fit? The Soarers are RHD, maybe put them upside down or something?

Oh yeah, forgot to think about that. Maybe I'll just powder coat mine. I hate the wood!

ACleanSC4,
I can't think of anyone that wants to trade, for which car are you talking? Your SC4 or the SC3? What colour are you looking for as well (specifically grey?) My friend is thinking about taking his ones out of his Soarer 3.0GT to get them "woodgrained" (if there's such an expression!), but if it's as easy as turning them upside-down/reversed then he might be interested in that instead.

Default me2

I have that same japanese magazine (cost me freakin 25 bucks!) , and it has all major parts vendoras and aftermarket manufacturers around. A pretty comprehensive list. The funny thing is, that the only one missing is Autocouture. I guess they are ABOVE being listed w/the others! hehe

I think the ultimate kit for the SC would be a combination of the Autocouture kit w/the flared fenders on the ABFLUG II kit. That would be the best look and very contemporary. IT would round out the dated look people might have of the SC

Exxxactly, already ordered the AC kit, deciding whether or not to do those blister fenders, but then it's new rolling stock, a pretty extensive upgrade, may just stick with the kit itself....
